Tweet
Deere & Company has taken another step in the modernization of its Waterloo, Iowa, metalcasting facility, contracting for the installation of three new dust collection systems.
Included in the project is a 540,000-actual cu. ft. per minute multi-module air pollution control system designed to control emissions from the metalcasting facility’s new high performance mold line, return sand and shakeout area. The second system will control the emissions from the blast finishing area and will require a 150,000-actual cu. ft. per minute multi-module system. Both of the systems will be enclosed in pre-engineered buildings. The third system consists of a 30,000-actual cu. ft. per minute pulse jet collector designed to control emissions from magnesium treatment.
The improvement is part of a $100 million modernization plan announced by Deere & Company in June 2010. The company said the modernization would take place over the next four to five years and allow the company to leverage more advanced casting designs and manufacturing technologies when completed.
The new dust collections systems will be designed, fabricated and installed by ETA Engineering Inc., Avilla, Ind. The company has been supplying dust collection systems to John Deere facilities since 1995.
