Benninghoven focuses on holistic and energy-efficient exhaust air, room air and energy technology.
Benninghoven is a company of the Wirtgen Group and specializes in the manufacture of asphalt mixing plants. The product portfolio includes mobile, transportable and stationary plants. The company develops and manufactures all core components itself, from steel construction to complex control systems, and offers both standard solutions and customized plants.
Benninghoven built a new main plant some time ago in order to meet the increasing demand and expand its competitiveness. The previous sites in Mülheim an der Mosel and Wittlich were merged in order to optimize production processes and facilitate further growth. Particular emphasis was placed on workplace quality, including ergonomic workstations, modern, energy-efficient exhaust air, indoor air and energy technology and natural lighting.
A holistic approach for clean fresh air at the work areas and in the halls
The holistic system supplies the production halls with clean, fresh air according to the A.I.R.TM principle. The fresh air diffuses into the floor area without draughts and without mixing with the hall air. This ensures that employees are continuously supplied with clean air. The emissions and waste heat released are displaced from the work and recreation areas to the hall ceiling. There, emissions and waste heat are completely captured and dissipated.
Highly efficient separation of fine dust and smoke
Emissions are filtered in the Kappa Mykron®fine dust and energy-saving filters, a highly developed filter system for the separation of industrial fine dust and fumes. Thanks to the patented Kappa Sequence Dedusting® cleaning technology, even the finest particles in the nano range can be filtered efficiently. This results in up to 30% better separation of particles below 0.4 µm compared to conventional filter systems, and also reduces energy consumption by up to 35%.
Highly effective recovery of waste heat
Due to the highly purified exhaust air, the waste heat can be recovered with a high degree of efficiency. Low-temperature heat exchangers are used in th Kappa MTATM air treatment centers for this purpose. The recovered waste heat is used to heat the fresh air and the halls are heated efficiently and economically.
Combination with direct capture
At the workplaces where stainless steel is processed and manganese levels are high, direct detection systems were installed to record emissions directly at the source, thus ensuring optimum protection for employees.
Intelligent automation
The system is controlled and automated by the Kappa Zeromatic®. It ensures complete visualization of all system components.
Kappa AirdynamicTM Systems determine the emission load in the hall and automatically adjust the air flow rate to the current demand.
