A global manufacturer of business and civilian jets is achieving considerable energy savings as a result of the use of the nanofibre-layered NanoWave nonwoven filter media manufactured by Hollingsworth & Vose (H&V).
The company had previously been burdened with the cost and disruption of frequent filter changeovers at one of its US dry-paint spray booth facilities, H&V reports. Overspray paint is collected in bag filters which periodically need to be replaced to ensure a consistent flow across the paint bay. Obliged by law to comply with proper disposal procedures for hazardous waste, the facility experienced eight used filter set changeovers a year at $11,000 each.
