CamCleaner CamCleaner provides clean filtered air in DB Schenker’s high-bay warehouse for optimum storage and working conditions Customer profile: DB Schenker, the leading rail-freight operator in Europe, offers complete logistics solutions that are tailor-made for customers. DB Schenker put special emphasis on being environmentally friendly to ensure that the environment is impacted as little as possibly by operations. An example is DB Schenker’s logistics centre in Önnestad, Sweden, a facility that that has been specially designed and built with a consistent, eco-efficient design.
The initial situation: accumulating dust DB Schenker’s logistics centre in Önnestad focuses on bringing sustainable solutions, economic objectives and ecological aspects in line. Here, offices and function rooms are located next to approximately 3,500 m² of warehouse space, high-bay warehouses and handling areas. Due to the centre’s daily stock turnover, dispatching and storage of a wide variety of freight, dust started to develop over time on the premises, which not only affected the stored goods, but also impaired working conditions. Simple air cleaners were not enough to abate the dust. Despite increased cleaning efforts, the problem could not be controlled and the logistics centre appeared unclean.
The result: clean storage and ambient air The DB Schenker logistics centre in Önnestad, Sweden now successfully deploys Camfil Farr CamCleaner 6000s for filtering and purifying air in hall areas. Commissioning the CamCleaners did not require major structural alterations. Constant volume-flow control ensures an even air supply. Monitoring and control of the air purification process is directly accomplished with the Schenker Properties Facility System using a 0-10 volt control. The result is impressive: clean storage of products and improved ambient air with less energy input.
The sol ution: implementation of CamCleaner 6000 The Önnestad centre was looking for a solution that could effectively prevent the accumulation of dust in large areas in a controlled manner and using very little energy. Camfil Farr was able to provide the appropriate system to meet this requirement – the CamCleaner 6000 air purifier. The mobile and stationary version of the CamCleaner 6000 is the ideal solution for effective filtration and purification of air in large interior spaces and industrial plants. CamCleaners use HEPA filters for more efficient filtration, reducing the number of required air changes and using safe and environmentally friendly technology. CamCleaner units come with a high-quality finish, are recognised for trouble-free operation, and provide high air quality at low energy cost. The air circulation generated by the CamCleaner creates a uniform temperature distribution throughout the premises, even in rooms with high ceilings.

The Proof: Bo Jönsson, Location Manager at DB Schenker in Önnestad summarises the benefits achieved with CamCleaner: “The Camfil CamCleaner 6000s enable dust-free warehousing and improve the working conditions for our employees. Thanks to these air purifiers, we can offer our customers clean products with less cleaning effort inside the building. This highly efficient filtration solution requires fewer air changes, which also decreases repair and maintenance costs. The CamCleaner stations can be optimally controlled with the Schenker Properties Facility System. All systems operate with the highest possible energy efficiency and cost effectiveness. With the CamCleaner 6000s, we have all aspects of dust exposure under control. As we are absolutely impressed by the performance of the CamCleaner, we have recommended the solution to other DB Schenker logistics centres which are planning to install CamCleaners in the near future.”
