Case Study / Wienerberger Clay Brick Production
18 JULY 2023
Wienerberger Ltd, the UK and Ireland arm of the world's largest brick manufacturer, is a leading supplier of building products, including bricks, roof tiles, pavers and blocks. One of their production facilities in East Manchester approached integratedAIR Filtration Ltd to conduct a survey to replace a worn-out dust extraction system for their high-speed roller in the Clay Preparation Plant. The current filter unit had been poorly designed, particularly on the filtered roof, and was badly corroded, allowing water to leak inside the filter casing making the filter unit unusable.
integratedAIR Filtration entered into discussions with Wienerberger Ltd to look at producing a filter unit incorporating features to avoid the same potential problems. Our BlueClean® RJ Tubular Bag filters have a specially designed robust roof which does not distort when personnel stand on the roof panels, eliminating the collection of standing water that leads to corrosion. Our BlueClean® RJ Tubular Bag filters also have a superior powder-coated external finish giving extended life.
Post discussions led integratedAIR Filtration to propose additional benefits that were important to the customer:
"It has always been our strength to listen to our customer’s needs and incorporate these needs within our design. Our aim is to provide a solution that our customer is happy with and one that will continue to work effectively for many years." -Gary Lockwood
"It has been a pleasure working with Weinberger to ensure their exposure to clay dust is reduced as much as possible. We look forward to working with them in the future as they continue to invest in productions health and safety." - Chris Tayor
"It was a great pleasure to work with integrated AIR Filtration on this project. From the initial meeting to the commissioning of the unit, the project went seamlessly and the communication was to an excellent standard. I am extremely happy with the outcome from the install, and I will be using integrated AIR Filtration, for further upcoming projects" - Paul, Maintenance Manager
