Assembly systems for filter modules
As one of the leading specialists in sophisticated
systems engineering, at AKE technologies we have
made it our business to bring economy and ecology
together in a meaningful symbiosis, and thus to
contribute significantly to the development of new
green technologies. In partnership with an innovative
membrane filter manufacturer, we have developed an
economically and ecologically practical membrane
manufacturing technology.
The concrete result of this is a completely new,
patented, energy-saving system for filtering and
cleaning waste water without the use of chemicals.
For this manufacturing process, AKE has taken on the
further downstream processing of the membrane
into an enclosed, tested filter package. The system
processes endless filter membranes into multilayer
filter modules, using automatic cut blank manufacture,
with sealing of cut edges using ultrasound rotary
cutting units. The handling of the cut filter blanks and
the gluing of the connecting elements is performed
using robotic systems with modular gripper units. At
the end of the process, the packaged membrane filter
units are removed from the system.
As well as the manufacture of waste water filters,
we also offer our customers production lines for
the assembly of paper filters. Cutting and gluing
processes are integrated into the system, and the
installation of attached components also takes place
in this production line. The system impresses with a
cycle time of a mere two seconds. This is achieved
through the combination of special workpiece carrier
systems and so-called delta pickers – particularly
rapid and flexible robots.
The area of filter technology has become ever more
important in recent years. We wish to make our
contribution to environmentally sound lifestyles by
means of innovations in this sector.
