Operation “Clean Air”

At the end of the year 2010 CFT GmbH had delivered the 2000th deduster, which is an in-house development and production, to the company Sandvik Mining and Con­struction. The anniversary plant is applied on a continuous miner during a mining process at the rock salt mine Heilbronn of Südwest­deutsche Salzwerke AG (Fig.). The scrubber of the type CFT-Hoeko-Vent has a suction capacity 1300 m³/min and an efficiency of 99.5 %. The required negative pressure is created by a contra-rotating axial fan produced by the associated company Korfmann Lufttechnik GmbH.
