No wear, low O&M costs

The FLUIMAC system has a sturdy but simple design which makes it extremely user-friendly and dependable. Thanks to the superior Magaldi Superbelt technology, the FLUIMAC extractor's operation is characterized by:

no wear, because there is no relative motion between the belt and the ash

minimum maintenance demand: all regular activities can be carried out with the system in operation

very low power demand: no high-power fans or motors

fully automatic operation without the need for manual operation

Dependability & safety

The Superbelt has a proven dependability, which can result in an increased boiler availability

the Superbelt can not have a sudden failure

in more than 2,800,000 hours of Superbelt operating experience in bottom ash handling with MAC systems, not a single Superbelt failure has occurred

the FLUIMAC system is absolutely safe, because all moving parts are inside the casing and no manual intervention is required during operation

No use of water

The FLUIMAC system does not use any water in the ash processing, which means that it does not suffer from any of the water-related problems of other systems:

no fresh water consumption and no waste water discharge

no need for dewatering bins, ponds and waste water treatment

no pumps, no heat exchangers, no pH-control

no corrosion, no risk of ice formation

no problems with environmental regulation regarding water pollution

Heat recovery from the ash to the boiler

The quantity of heat contained in bed ash is significant, due to generally poor fuels fired (having a high ash content).

In the FLUIMAC system, the heat from the bed ash is recovered effectively by the cooling air introduced into the FLUIMAC. This energy can be sent back into the boiler if the air leaving the FLUIMAC is joined to the secondary combustion air. In this way, a boiler efficiency increase can be obtained.
