Primetals Technologies and Kappa are cooperating on dedusting systems for the iron and steel industry
In future, Primetals Technologies and Kappa Filter Systems (Kappa), Steyr, Austria, will be cooperating
on the sales and marketing of dedusting systems for the iron and steel industry, as well as on their
research and further development. An agreement to this effect has recently been signed. The key
feature of the plants that will be jointly offered in future is the internationally patented Zeron large fabric
filter system developed by Kappa. The solid concrete panel structure allows all the functional areas to be
integrated compactly into one filter building for the first time – from the dust pre-separation to the clean
gas stack. This leads to an optimal air flow pattern without turbulence or vortex, and the result is an
extraordinary low total filter resistance. This considerably reduces the amount of energy required for
operation in comparison to conventional bag filter systems. Dust emissions can be almost completely
eliminated, and the noise emission level significantly reduced. The concrete panel structure increases
the local value add, and substantially reduces both the logistics costs and the assembly times. The
modular design facilitates future expansions, if required. The cooperation agreement will run for an initial
term of five years.
