Sundwiger Messingwerke Modernize the Oil Mist Extraction System of Their Wire Production with the REGKON Process

Hemer (North Rhine-Westphalia), January 2022.

After extensive investigations, Sundwiger Messingwerke decided in favor of the concept by Schuh Anlagentechnik for the modernization of the exhaust air system in the shaving and drawing winder area.

REGKON Instead of Electrostatic Precipitators: Regenerative Cooling with Heat Recovery

With this investment, the very maintenance-intensive electrostatic precipitators are being replaced by the REGKON process of Schuh Anlagentechnik with additional heat recovery. The coolant mist is captured close to its point of origin and regeneratively cooled after pre-filtration. The cooled exhaust air flows vertically into the Schuh mist eliminator KT. This vertical flow direction ensures ideal separation behavior with a very small footprint at the same time.

Pre-Heating the Supply Air, Less Gas Phase, Better Indoor Climate

The REGKON process ensures that the thermal energy of the exhaust air is largely used to pre-heat the supply air. The condensation caused by the cooling of the exhaust air contributes significantly to reducing the proportion of the gas phase. The new REGKON process significantly increases the overall separation efficiency of the exhaust air system. Energy costs are reduced and the indoor climate of the factory hall is improved.

Scope of Supply and Schedule

The scope of supply includes the delivery of the mechanical components, the electrical equipment including the control system as well as the installation and commissioning. The systems were scheduled to go into operation in mid-Q2 2022.
