New Aerodinamica scored a new success.
The challenge was as prestigious as the company that chose New Aerodinamica among the numerous Italian and foreign suitors to the contract: Rcs Mediagroup.
The project concerned the design of a waste suction plant deriving from size reduction of the major national newspapers printed in RCS centers.
In fact, once printed copies of the newspaper are introduced into a rotary cutting drum which trims the newspaper on three sides by means of the blades, further reducing its size to the size required for the graphic renewal of the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
The New Aerodinamica suction system had to connect to the suction hoods of the drum and guarantee the removal of the product at a maximum speed of 35,000 copies / hour with a maximum leaflet of 96 pages.
A challenge made even more compelling by having to ensure 100% efficiency due to the tight deadlines between daily printing, simultaneous trimming to the press and final distribution.
The printing centers in which the plants were installed are four: Pessano con Bornago (two cutting lines), Padova (two cutting lines), Rome (a cutting line) and Bari (a cutting line). Although the cutting drums were identical, for each site an ad hoc system was designed according to the passages and spaces available as New Aerodinamica has always followed the specific requests of each customer with attention and creates unique systems with particular attention to detail and a continuous development of customized solutions. The delivery and assembly of the materials has also been independently managed for each site, ensuring installation, testing and commissioning on time. The suction system, in addition to a suction fan for each line, is completed with an external exhaust group consisting of an aerodynamic separator combined with a pendular by-pass that can alternatively discharge into one of the two press containers available without stopping production in case of failure or filling of the collection boxes and an efficient filtering group sized according to the regulations in force. The plant has been integrated with high visibility inspection doors, systems to reduce electrostatic charges through ionizing groups and high efficiency sound-absorbing booths to lower the sound pressure of the entire system, bearing in mind that much of the printing activity is carried out at night and that the suction system, in compliance with the rules, has been placed outside the buildings. Each fan, both for trimming and balance transport, has been managed by an inverter so as to facilitate testing, commissioning and last but not least the reduction in energy consumption.
