How Fumex helped increase Volvo’s production

The Swedish company Volvo Buses is one of the world’s largest bus manufacturers. With quality, safety and the environment as their core values, the company wants to develop innovative solutions that move both the industry and society forward to make everyday life easier for people and cities.

In order to achieve their high ambitions, Volvo needed to take their core values into consideration when they wanted to expand their ventilation system. As a result, the renowned bus manufacturer chose Fumex to deliver a high quality ventilation system and production environment.

Today, Volvo’s unique Fumex solution consists of CFE dust filters connected in parallel for large airflows, where particles and welding fumes are efficiently eliminated from an air volume of up to 25,000 m³/h per unit. It also features on-demand cleaning of the filter cartridges through efficient power pulse valves. This means that the filters also can be cleaned during operation or through predefined cleaning cycles when the unit is not in operation.

“We were very pleased with the results of the new facility. Everything from function and maintenance to the cleaner working environment in our premises.”
Tomas Wallström, Quality Manager at Volvo Buses

The units were also connected to a heat exchanger in order to efficiently utilise the warm excess heat from the premises.
