Air purification system for medicinal plant processing
Optimize employee health and product quality with an advanced air purification system, also called an industrial extraction.
When you hear about Valerian, most people know it’s something medicinal. Valerian is calming. When you hear the name Yew (Taxus), many people know that this plant is toxic, but what they may not know is that it is also used in cancer treatment.
The company Stolk Medicinal Plants BV specializes in the processing of medicinal plants and herbs. They grow plants, including Yew, that contain essential compounds for producing medicinal products.
The importance of air purification in medicinal plant processing
Meconaf was approached by Stolk Medicinal Plants to find a solution how we could help reduce dust during the processing of plants at their facility in Veenoord. At this location, only the rough pre-processing takes place. Here, they wash and dry the harvested product and then process it with various machines to create a semi-finished product. People also work in the area where this process occurs.
Employees sit in an inspection cabin to check the product. Additionally, workers operate packaging machines. They quickly come into contact with dust in the ambient air around the processing line. It was clear to the client, Stolk, that something needed to be done about this.
Industrial extraction
They approached our company to think about a solution to this dust problem. Industrial extraction is, of course, the answer. For this project, we installed a filtration system with automatic compressed air cleaning for the filters. The air is cleaned to such an extent that it can be returned to the processing area. Fifteen extraction points are connected to the filtration system, and in the inspection cabin, we installed an overpressure system to keep dust out of the cabin.
