On 15th July 2021, Hencon, the globally renowned engineering company delivering solutions and services to the aluminium and mining industry launched compact vacuum cleaner ‘EVY’, keeping its tagline ‘Fresh Thinking, Smart Cleaning’. Hencon is consistently progressing new improvements and sustainable solutions that emphasise efficiency, safety, maintainability, lowering the cost of ownership, and the environmental impact of its products.
One of the toughest jobs in the aluminium industry is keeping the potroom clean. Now to trouble-free the industry, a special vehicle is required, performing dust-free with a high output. Here comes, the latest development of Hencon in this domain, the first serial-produced, compact vacuum cleaner EVY with just one specification. The EVY guarantees the proven Hencon quality at a competitive price.
The mobile cleaning machine deployed on proven designs and components, as the EVY will stand out in the dry, dusty and hot environment of prebaked and Söderberg potrooms. It has exceptional resistance to the magnetic field and harsh atmosphere. Therefore, the layout and suction tools have been specially adapted for operation in the potrooms and cast houses of primary aluminium smelters.
The 1600 mm width sucking nozzle with 1.2 m3 hopper capacity and suction working pressure of 0.3 bar can be fully adjusted for optimal performance. The nozzle sealing flaps provide the perfect sealing, even on inferior and uneven floors. This technical concept assures dust-free cleaning and eliminates the use of more conventional rotating brushes.
The compact size and short turning radius provides the most optimal manoeuvrability and create optimal flexibility in the operations. The reach in between structural pillars goes up to 500 mm side shift right side, keeping its performance flawless. When using the main nozzle, a 1600 mm strip covered with a 3 mm thick layer of dry alumina will be cleaned in one go, at a drive speed of 4 km/h.
The Ulft, Netherlands headquartered organisation, Hencon is a worldwide supplier of special mobile equipment for the heavy industry. The sustainable solution provider’s equipment delivers a solution with specially designed, custom-made vehicles, where conventional vehicles cannot operate to satisfaction.
EVY’s exceptional feature is to deliver a cleaner, healthier and more environmentally friendly workplace. The most challenging issue the aluminium industry counters are the dust which remains invisible to eyesight and this category of dust is highly unsafe for human health. EVY makes this job smooth without leaving any harmful residue, while on top of that, it cleans without creating dust clouds, and causes less emission.
The dust is collected and separated with maximal proficiency and safety and the appreciation goes to the very fine filtration, as this valuable dust is ready for re-use.
