17 PRESS INFORMATION Hall in Tirol, 05/2015 New FELDER suction solutions for every challenge CLEAN AIR FOR HEALTHY WORKSHOPS It is a known fact that wood dust accumulates in a woodworking company and that this has been classified as hazardous to health for some time now, yet this topic of exhaustion in particular is the subject of heated debates in the industry. According to an EU regulation coming into effect in the near future, enterprises with a filtering volume of up to 8,000 cubic meters of air per hour (instead of 6,000 m³/h up to now) will also be allowed to use wood dust tested clean air dust extractors in the future and thus save expensive, externally mounted equipment. In addition to the numerous rules and regulations, there is, however, also one established fact: Dust-free working is not only healthier, but also offers numerous opportunities for energy and cost savings in wood processing enterprises. An individually adapted extraction solution is thus indispensable for a healthy workplace. Felder offers wood dust tested clean air dust extractors for every need. From the entry model RL 125 through to the new industrial clean air dust extractor RL 350, the most powerful machine of its size - every woodworker benefits from individual FELDER dust extractors in different price and performance ranges. Additionally, you can reduce heating costs or open up new additional revenue streams with briquetting machines. The right extraction solution for every woodworker Page 17

18 H3 clean air dust extractors for professional use Commercial and industrial woodworkers benefit from wood dust tested Felder clean air dust extractors in different price and performance classes. The current extractors RL 125, RL 160 and RL 200 have been redesigned to offer their usual high flexibility and high performance in small spaces. The new models RL 140 and RL the strongest Felder extraction device ever - complete the comprehensive product range along with the proven models RL 250 and RL 300. All models achieve a residual dust content of less than 0.1 mg/m³ and thus meet the residual dust content level H3. Up to 8,000 m³/h volume flow rate guarantee perfect extraction results with every challenge. Unlike conventional dust extractors, Felder positions the fan on the clean air side. A vacuum is thus generated in the entire system, preventing dust escaping at leaks. RL 250, RL 300 and RL 350 the new dimension The use of cartridge filters offers an enlarged filter area with the same space requirement. The longitudinally arranged chip containers make for an ideal, uniform filling of the chip bags. The optimised fastening system ensures fast chip bag exchange. The water extinguisher and the jet cleaning of the filters are standard with Felder. Continuously compressed air pulses clean the filter completely automatically and guarantee long-lasting perfect extraction results. Enjoying double benefits with briquetting machines from Felder Fuels, disposal costs or storage spaces are becoming more and more expensive. Felder briquetting machines reduce the volume of accruing chips by 90 % and additionally eliminate the need for investment in a chip container or silo. Thanks to high quality fuel briquettes, the cost of heating decreases or new additional sources of revenue are opened up. An important characteristic of briquetting machines is the amount of hydraulic oil contained in them. Depending on the type, they contain liters. Felder briquetting machines are suitable for continuous use due to their design. The mounting on a solid base frame ensures a rapid installation and allows a problem-free use with clean air dust extractors by Felder. Benefits: > Solid construction, kg overall weight depending on the type > Large amount of oil, liters depending on the type > Level sensor with automatic start already part of the basic equipment > Continuously variable screw precompressor for briquette length adjustment Page 18
