Optimal air flow solutions

Efficient air flow is a cornerstone in many industries, from agriculture to high-tech environments. Metal perforation helps to ensure precise control of air flow, whether it’s for drying grain and herbs, cooling high-tech electronic equipment, or managing air flow in other specialised applications.

With the right tailor-made solution, you can achieve the optimal balance of ventilation and protection for various applications, such as:

• Grain and herb drying: High open area panels allow maximum air flow, reducing moisture and supporting an efficient drying process.
• Biomass drying and malting floors: Manage air flow in demanding environments with robust, durable screens for biomass drying and malting floors.
• Animal feed drying and food processing: With proper ventilation you avoid spoilage and maintain food safety.
• Autoclaves for medical industry: Perforated sheets ensure sterile air flow in controlled environments.
• Cooling for engines and electronic equipment: High-tech systems require targeted air flow management to prevent overheating while protecting sensitive components.

Maximising open area for drying

Proper air flow is essential in reducing moisture in materials. Drying is a key process in many industries such as agriculture and food processing. Especially for fine-grained materials, small openings with a maximum open area are essential. Control of the air flow is also imperative to maintain the correct temperatures and thus avoid degradative reactions and microbial growth.

Finding the optimal perforated metal solution for your drying needs depends on different factors such as:

• Airflow requirements
• Strength requirements - durability and possible load on the screen
• Particle size – max. hole size for your application
• Environment in which the screens are used – surface type and material requirements

Keeping equipment cool and safe

The demands for efficient cooling systems for technical equipment are increasing. In the case of electronic cabinets and enclosures, sections of perforated panels with a high open area provide adequate and targeted heat dissipation. Other zones can be masked, and thereby protected, by unperforated areas.

The cooling systems of engines, for example in tractors and earthmovers, are a traditional application area for perforated products. Perforated screens with high open areas allow the air to enter and circulate as required and at the same time act as a filter and protective screening.
