Those who work in industry know that the accumulation of dust, residues and encrustations inside silos, ducts, heat exchangers or boilers is not just a question of efficiency.
It is an operational risk, it is extraordinary maintenance that needs to be planned. In many cases, it is a plant shutdown that must be avoided at all costs.
It is in this context that acoustic cleaning proves to be a strategic solution.
A silent technology — successfully adopted by New Componit — that allows solidified deposits to be removed without direct contact, without the use of chemicals and above all, without interrupting production.
A well-established technology. That now looks beyond
The acoustic horns Safefon® brand used by New Componit –– operate using low-frequency, high-intensity sound waves. Powered by compressed air, once installed in strategic points of the system, they generate controlled vibrations capable of loosening and removing encrustations accumulated on the internal walls.
All this without structural damage, without risk of corrosion and without the need for invasive interventions.
This technology is already widely used and tested in highly critical contexts such as the ceramics sector and storage silos, where the accumulation of material compromises process continuity and efficiency.
New Componit has gained concrete experience in integrating these solutions, helping to improve their operational effectiveness and extend their use.
The real news? Today, the company is successfully applying acoustic horns in other industrial sectors as well, where until recently it was believed that acoustic cleaning was not suitable or advantageous.
New areas, same challenges. But now there are new solutions too.
Cement factories, power stations, food processing plants: these are just some of the contexts in which acoustic horns are being tested — and adopted — for their ability to intervene where other systems fail.
In environments where operating temperatures can reach 1000°C and where mechanical vibrations – such as external hammers – can damage structures, acoustic cleaning is a non-invasive and more sustainable alternative.
The body of the horns is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, resistant to extreme conditions and high chemical or thermal aggression.
Furthermore, thanks to the possibility of automatic activation at predefined intervals, the system not only cleans but also prevents the formation of new deposits, keeping the system in optimal condition without interrupting production cycles.
Not just efficiency: safety and savings too
One of the advantages most appreciated by those who have already adopted this technology is operational continuity.
The system does not require the plant to be shut down, dismantled, or work at height or in confined spaces.
This not only limits the costs associated with machine downtime, but also reduces the risks for operators and the impact of maintenance on the organisational level.
Add to this the durability of the materials, ease of installation and virtually zero maintenance and it is easy to see why acoustic cleaning is now seen as a real innovation, even in sectors where it had not yet been exploited.
A tailor-made system with New Componit expertise
New Componit, a benchmark in heat management for forty years — with solutions such as textile expansion joints, insulating jackets and rubber expansion joints — has integrated the use of acoustic horns into its technical offering, providing customers with a complete, scalable and highly customised system.
Each project is preceded by a dedicated technical consultation, with an on-site inspection and analysis of the critical points of the system.
This is followed by the supply of the devices, installation (with on-site supervision if required) and after-sales technical support.
