The AR Filtrazioni solution adopted in the Brembo Motorbike Dept. allowed them to obtain significant benefits in terms of healthiness of the environment and optimisation of operating costs. The equipment of the air cleaner company from Bergamo has underlined the high efficiency of the technicians who studied and installed different systems of filtration according to the typologies of working processes of the different working centres of the workshop.

HEALTHY & ENVIRONMENT Stop...(brake) to The distinct addiction for technological innovation of the products has been the main lever to Brembo Industrial Group success, whose headquarter is located in the Science and Technology park Kilometro Rosso in Stezzano, in the province of Bergamo, where there is the prestigious R&D Centre. Today, Brembo operates in 15 countries with 35 plants and commercial sites for a total of about 6.100 employees and a revenue of about 1.000 millions of euro. Brembo claims the global leadership in the design, the development and the production of braking...

combustible savings and not least a longer duration of the machine tool. At the Brembo motorbike department have been installed several machining centres which make all the mechanical processes necessary for the production of the mechanical components of braking systems, most of them made of aluminium. These processes are made with coolant liquids, usually emulsion at 3-4%. Every machining centre is completely closed inside a cabin where there is its own air cleaner for the suction and the elimination of oil mists thanks to filters with several stages of filtration. "These systems for...

Tecnic Luca Bottazzi, Operations Director for the Brembo Motorbike Business Unit In the Brembo Motorbike department several have been installed machining centres used to produce all the mechanical working processes. AR Filtrazioni was put in charge of the ordinary and the extra maintenance too, we had been working in harness with them in order to identify the best solution for each machine tools. We have in general two typologies of filters, some of the Arno series and some of the Eco series, which are different on the basis of their degree of filtration and of the performance of the...

This solution turned out to be disadvantageous for different reasons. First of all the energetic consumption and the heating of a bigger air volume during the winter time, would have caused a further energy waste for the heating of the workshop. Another disadvantage would have been the higher costs of the investment, the higher noise outside the plan and the bigger overall dimensions of the pipes of conspicuous dimensions. "Another important aspect -adds Bottazzi - is that the solution consisting in a single air cleaner for each machine tools allowed an higher flexibility, if compared to...
