The installation of the pneumatic trim removal system is in an air-controlled clean room. Therefore the challenge was to limit the amount of air sucked out of the clean room.
The SABIC Snij-Unie production company in the Netherlands processes a wide variety of customized LEXAN™ polycarbonate film & sheet materials – by cutting smaller-sized film rolls or sheets, making shorter rolls, or making laminates with basic materials supplied by their customers.
The installation of the pneumatic trim removal system is in an air-controlled clean room. Therefore the challenge was to limit the amount of air sucked out of the clean room. However, for obvious reasons a filter cannot be installed in a clean room, so the placing of the Kongskilde equipment in an adjacent room entails some loss of air, temperature, and humidity.

The pipes, with a pick-up point in the clean room, run through an attic to an adjacent packing room where the separator equipment is placed. This setup simplifies maintenance and ensures that there is no pollution in the clean room.
The complete trim suction system consists of:
The MultiAir® blower is placed on a frame to optimize floor space
Winding and slitting machine in the clean room. Here you see the extraction points with flexible steel pipe and a MultiCutter per extraction string. Both pipes come together in one main pipe which will convey the shredded material to the waste bin.
