Due to the fast moving pace in product development set by snack food manufacturers, a company that specialises in packaging for these items will strive to have all the latest machinery and equipment. Machines for cutting, bonding or coating with a special anti-stick powder are particularly prone to generating industrial dust, which is often extracted from the work place through a pipework system.Jacob pipe systems meet the stringent quality standards expected in this field. Leak-tightness in particular is important to this environment, so the use of U seal on each machine lipped end ensures minimal leakage. Since there can be a risk of explosion through industrial dust becoming statically charged and igniting due to sparks, the extraction system is certified as explosion shock-resistant, up to 3 bar. Fast installation and maintenance friendly Quick Connect pull rings will validate the decision to opt for the Jacob UK pipework system.
The pipework system is available in diameters of 60mm up to 1600mm, with diameters of 100mm up to 400mm being most suited to exhaust air lines. In the event that there is a risk of it becoming statically charge, the innovative earthing bridge can be used to ensure against this. This patented and EXAM-certified safety component can be simply screwed onto the pull-ring connection. Even if you need to retrofit, it takes only a few simple steps to install them with no interruption for welding. Downtime is costly but changes or maintenance is a routine part within a manufacturing environment such as packaging plant. The modular characteristics of this pipe system mean that components can quickly be disassembled for cleaning or modifications.
