AUTOMATED FUME CAPTURE SYSTEM

The Predator ^TM Automated Fume Capture System is a patented, revolutionary new design developed by MAPCO to provide substantial savings over a conventional exhaust system.

Unlike a conventional system, the Predator ^TM System includes exhaust hoods with mechanically actuated baffle and exhaust duct damper that automatically adjusts to provide fume or mist removal at the tank surface and/ or work in process when needed. Typical multi-slotted exhaust hoods venting work in process, require a substantial increase in exhaust volume allocated to the upper hood slots. Without automated regulation of these upper slots, the system exhausts enormous volumes of hot or cool plant air on a continuous basis resulting in exorbitant energy bills, excessive chemical usage and increased waste treatment costs.

The Predator ^TM System solves these problems by allocating and directing additional exhaust volume to the upper slots when the process work is pulled from the tank. As the work moves to the next station, the upper slot or slots are closed and the additional volume is then directed to the next tank. Total system exhaust volume is thereby reduced as the upper slot is closed on all tanks where the work is not being transferred.

Due to the lower CFM volume, initial costs are usually no more than that of a conventional system. Unlike a conventional system, the Predator ^TM System will pay for itself through decreased exhaust volumes of up to 40 percent.
