Application examples:

Metal processing

In a large hall, components are welded and ground. The hall was completely blackened by metal dust that had accumulated over decades, even though decentralized extraction systems were in place. A path for material flow runs through the center.

Solution:
The hall was cleaned, and an intermediate ceiling was installed below the truss. Since then, the air has been extracted at the facades, cleaned with a cartridge filter system, and combined with a supply and exhaust air system that provides fresh air.

Wooden windows

The wooden frames and windows are lightly sanded after flooding to break the raised fibers. Typically, the windows were sanded lying on trestles. The dust was not centrally extracted but spread throughout the production area.

Solution 1:
The entire suspension remains in front of an extraction wall. The wall can be moved towards the component. The work is performed ergonomically on the vertical frame. The dust is removed and returned to the room through a HEPA filter.

Solution 2:
The same principle as Solution 1, but the suspension is continuously moved.

Welding shop

In the past, extraction systems with extraction arms were often used. Nowadays, it is evident that these are not efficiently used enough and, therefore, do not sufficiently protect employees from toxic dust.

Solution:
Integral ventilation concept with source supply air at the workplaces and central extraction with cartridge filters.

Orthopedic technology

In orthopedic technology, a lot of work is done with plaster models and plastics. A lot of dust is generated while working, and solvents are also used.
The new building is planned as a Minergie Plus house, allowing only minimal air volumes.

Solution:
– Recirculating filter system for dust and plastic particles
– Ventilated workstations for handling solvents, including ventilation and activated carbon filters
– Cabinets with integrated extraction and EI90
– Small paint booth for small painting jobs
