Oil Mist Separators and Emulsion Mist Extraction: Schuh Anlagentechnik Delivers Complete Extraction System for ANDRITZ Metals Project at Talum

Hemer / Kidričevo – April 2023.

Schuh Anlagentechnik has been selected by ANDRITZ Metals as technology partner for the Talum aluminium plant in Slovenia. The order covers the complete oil mist extraction system for the cold rolling mill as well as the emulsion mist extraction system for the hot rolling mill – with multi-stage separators that combine inertia, interception and diffusion effects for highly efficient air pollution control.

Oil Mist Separators of the KK Series for the Cold Rolling Mill

In the cold rolling mill, where temperatures reach up to 60 °C, oil mist and transport air are separated in the KK series oil mist separator. The separation principle combines three effects: droplets cannot follow the streamlines of the gas flow, impinge on obstacles and adhere to boundary surfaces. This combination of separation by inertia, interception and diffusion ensures highly efficient, reliable oil mist separation in continuous operation – a proven approach for oil mist collection in metal rolling mills.

Emulsion Mist Extraction for the Hot Rolling Mill

For the hot rolling mill, with surface temperatures of up to 550 °C, emulsion mist is captured by suction hoods, routed through a piping system into the Schuh mist eliminator and exhausted via a radial fan into the exhaust stack. The emulsion mist extraction system from Schuh Anlagentechnik thus ensures clean exhaust air and working conditions that comply with official German environmental requirements (TA Luft).

Planning, Delivery, Assembly, Commissioning: Extraction Systems from a Single Source

The scope of the project includes planning, delivery, assembly and commissioning from a single source. Completion was scheduled for the first quarter of 2024. Rely on Schuh Anlagentechnik for clean work environments and sustainable extraction solutions.
