Description
2. Description
dust vacuum and filter systems are intended for commercial use, for example in schools,
universities, factories, laboratories, etc.
2.1 Intended Use of the LN, GL, BF, RF, DF, TFS, FP and FPV
Series
The extraction and filter systems of the LN, GL, BF, RF, DF, TFS, FP and FPV series are
intended for the extraction of dust and smoke.
They may not be used for the extraction of burning or glowing substances, highly flammable
or explosive gases, aggressive media, explosive dusts and aluminium grinding dust, or for
the extraction of liquids of any type.
2.1.1 Intended Use to W3, DIN EN ISO 15012-1 / -4 , Dust Category
H, DIN EN ISO 60335-2-69 AA
Filter and extraction systems with W3 label are suitable for welding work and related
processes or if smoke containing KMR materials is expected (e.g. when welding high-alloy
steels or welding additives with more than 5% (Cr, Ni)). (except gouging and grinding).
dust vacuum filter and extraction systems are also designed for extraction with automated laser
welding processes, laser marking processes, laser cutting processes or similar and are not
intended for use in conjunction with hand-held torches (e.g. MIG MAG or TIG welding
equipment).
For extraction of glowing particles and sparks, an effective spark trap or spark suppression
device must be installed upstream of the extraction and filter system.
2.1.2 Notes on W3 (ISO 15012) and Dust Category H (EN 60335-2-
69 AA)
Systems for extraction from welding processes or similar processes, which, for example, fall
under (DE) TRGS528 or TRGS560, must be labelled "W3" in accordance with DIN EN ISO
15012 and meet the separation degree "H" in accordance with EN60335-2.
dust vacuum filter and extraction systems with "W3" label meet these requirements.
Exhaust-air Conductance (into the Open) & Dust Suspension
Depending on the application, it must be checked whether exhaust-air conductance (into the
open) is possible/necessary. However, recirculation operation (independent of
filters/approvals/manufacturers) is only permitted if the extraction and filter system is
operated at different locations and exhaust air operation (into open) - for operational reasons
- is not possible or proportionate (see TRGS560, Section 3). A few substances, according to
GefStoffV, are generally excluded from recirculation operation due to their high hazard (see
TRGS560, Section 3) - but must nevertheless be filtered before discharged to the open.
Description
During installation, care must be taken to ensure that the outflowing air, when being
recirculated into the hall, can not whirl up any dust/deposits from floors or other surfaces. For
this purpose, as an example, the air outlet plate can be turned or the air can be conducted
directed with a 90° elbow.
Please also observe the notes in section: “Use of Piping and Hoses“.
Extraction
When designing/planning extraction elements according to standard, the manufacturer's
specifications must be observed. A minimum air velocity of 0.4m/s (see 15012-2) must be
achieved during extraction. For designing/planning, the minimum volume flow rate in the
most unfavourable condition (filter saturated) of the filter and extraction system are required.

Remark
TFS 500 250m³/h 400 m³/h RMS values
TFS 1000 500m³/h 850 m³/h RMS values
*for up to 75% saturated filter (the warning: „Filter change required“ is indicated)
Please also observe the notes in sections: “Use of Extraction Elements”, “Use of Piping and
Hoses” & “Filter Monitoring”.
The examples apply for the TFS series. As a rule, dust vacuum filter and extraction systems
are operated in combination with a closed laser system. In this case, this laser system records,
controls and signals the combination of laser system and extraction.
To achieve the protection targets of the standards DIN EN 15012, 60335 -2-69 AA, the
overall system must be designed according to the following procedure:
Determination of the required volume flow with 0.4m/s flow velocity at the extraction
point plus 30% air volume (see section 8.2)
Dimensioning of pipes and hose lines according to the flow velocities (see section 7.5)
Ensuring the extraction capacity at the extraction point (see paragraph “Monitoring
of the Extraction Capacity“ below).
Ensuring of the signalling (see paragraph “Signalisierung“ below).
Maintenance, filter replacement and disposal, in particular the disposal of used filter
elements in airtight packaging, in accordance with the provisions of this Operating and
Maintenance Manual.
Monitoring of the Extraction Capacity
Options for monitoring the extraction capacity
Use of a volume flow monitoring device in the hose or pipe in conjunction with a dust
vacuum signal module. Please refer to the section: ”Monitoring the Extraction Capacity at
the Extraction Location“.
Use of a volume flow monitoring device in the hose or pipe which is evaluated by the
process control system and stops the process in the event of an error.
Description
Monitoring of the extraction capacity in a closed compartment with controlled air supply,
for example via a vacuum sensor, which is evaluated by the process control system
and stops the process in the event of an error.
When using piping which can only be separated from the system with tools, it is
alternatively sufficient to determine the proper function of the filter and extraction
system via the signals of the INSPIRE interface, as far as the pipeline is subject to
regular inspection (weekly). Please also observe the notes in section: “INSPIRE
interface“.
Signalling
Use of the dust vacuum signal module for visual and acoustic signalling of the system
status.
Please also observe the notes in section: “Signalling of the Extraction and Filter
System“ & “Dust Vacuum Signal Module“.
Evaluation of the filter and extraction system status via the process control system. In
this case, the signalling of errors is taken over by the primary control system and must
comply with the requirements of ISO 15012 & EN 60335-2-69 AA.
2.2 Operation Principle of the Extraction Systems of the LN, GL,
BF, RF, DF, CR, TFS Series
Area of Application
Sticky and moist dusts, e.g. laser emissions, soldering fumes, solvent and adhesive vapours
Functional Principle
The air containing pollutants is drawn in/extracted via the extraction device (hood, hose) and
fed into the filter unit by means of a pipe, flexible hose or an extraction arm. Here, the
pollutant particles are filtered out according to their filter class in the various filter stages The
cleaned air is then either returned to the work area or to the outside via a pipe, depending on
the application.
2.3 Filter Types Used
Depending on the model (see technical data), the extraction and filter system is equipped
with different exchangeable pre-filters in different filter classes. The filters used are, for
example:
Saturation or Storage Filters
The storage capacity of regular filter media results from the amount of particles (or in the
case of molecular filters, gases) they can absorb. As soon as all free spaces of the filter are
filled with foreign substances, the further use (exception: molecular filter) will lead to an
increase in pressure. This increase in pressure leads to a reduction in the air volume flow
and a filter change becomes necessary.
Pre-lters of Saturation-lter Systems
•Filter mats (F5)
•Pocket filters (M5)
•Z-line filters (M6)
•Z-line panel filters (F7)
•MP-Tec filters (F7)
Description
•SafeLine filter (F7 resp. F9)
•Oil mist filter cartridge (F9)
The pre-filter protects the downstream particle filter and thus considerably increases the
service life of the system. Depending on the system type, the changing of the pre-filter is
displayed separately (individual filter monitoring).
Main Filters of Saturation-lter Systems
•Particle filter (99.95%, H13)
•Particle filter (99.995%, H14)
The main filter ensures that more than 99.95% (particulate filter H13), 99.995% (particulate
filter H14) or 95% (filter cartridge of dust category M) of the extracted smoke and dust
particles remain in the filter (according to DIN EN 1822). This also applies if the filter insert is
completely or partially saturated. With increasing saturation of the filter, however, the
extraction capacity of the filter unit decreases.
Figure 1: Examples for saturation filters: Filter mat & pocket filter (left), particle lter (right).
Cleanable Filters
Certain filter designs and filter media allow for the filter medium to be cleaned, through which
it can be returned into functional condition. The cleaning takes place using compressed air or
by mechanical methods (vibration, shaking, wiping/stripping off). For optimum filter life and
cleanability, TBH uses experienced, folded filter cartridges.
Pre-lters of Filter-cartridge Systems
•Filter cartridges (95%, dust category M)
In filter-cartridge systems, only one filter stage is installed as standard. This usually is a filter
cartridge.
Main Filters of Filter-cartridge Systems
•Filter cartridges (95%, dust category M) (In this case, the filter cartridge is the only filter
used (FP 150 and FP 200 series without particle filter, FPV 202)
•Particle filters (99.95%, H13) (See main filter of saturation filter systems)
•Particle filters (99.995%, H14) (See main filter of saturation filter systems)
Description
Filter-cartridge systems can be protected with a downstream particle filter in addition to the
filter cartridge. In these cases, the particulate filter becomes the main filter and the filter
cartridge becomes the pre-filter.
Figure 2: Comparison: New lter cartridge, filter cartridge in use, filter cartridge after cleaning with compressed air
Activated Carbon Filter
The service life of the activated carbon filter depends strongly on the respective operating
conditions and can therefore not be predicted. In case of odour nuisance or if it starts to
smell, the saturation of the activated carbon filter is reached and it must be changed. The
activated carbon filter is not monitored via the filter-saturation indicator.
Figure 3: Example of an activated carbon filter
Molecular Sieve, Operating Principle:
In order to eliminate or minimize gaseous pollutants or unpleasant odours which can arise
during the most diverse production processes, it makes sense to work with molecular sieves,
such as activated carbon. Due to formation of finest pores and capillary systems, the surface
area is up to 1500 m² per gram of activated carbon. This results in a very good degree of
adsorption and a high storage capability, which leads to long service lives.

5. Transport Notes
The filter unit is delivered completely packed on a pallet, on which it can be safely further
transported. Transport must be carried out using a suitable transport means (forklift truck,
pallet truck, etc.). The packaging must not be loaded with any additional weight.
•The packaging must not be exposed to environmental influences.
•Transport and storage temperature: -25 to +55°C (max. 70°C / 24 h)
•When loading, the center of gravity of the packaging unit must be observed.
5.1 Packaging Notes for Customers
When transporting on without original packaging or with modified original packaging, it must
be ensured that the system is optimally secured and protected against damage. The
corresponding safety regulations must be observed.
•Before packing, make sure that the modules of the systems fit exactly on top of each
other and are tensioned hand-tight.
•Place the system upright on a suitable pallet.
•Make sure the system stands securely on the pallet. The use of spacer blocks to
keep the wheels of the system aloft is recommended. Also ensure that no moisture or
objects can damage the system from below.
•Firstly, secure the modules against slipping among each other, e.g. using corner
profiles made of cardboard and tensioning straps.
•Then, use suitable cushioning material and a firm outer packaging, e.g. sturdy
cardboard. The minimum pad thickness should be 2.5 cm. When the system has
been repacked, make sure that it is tightly seated in the new packaging.
•Securely strap/tension the system components on the pallet.
•It is mandatory to label the pallet as follows ("do not transport horizontally", "no further
loading from above", etc.).
The system may not be transported being laid down (only upright), as
this can cause damage to housings, filters and motors.
5.2 Use of Crane Eyelets
The following points must be observed when using the crane-eyelet attachments:
•Use only the provided TBH crane eyelets!
•The fastening of the load must take place as described in the quick reference guide
