Application examples:

 

Metal processing

In a large production hall, metal components are welded and ground. Although decentralized extraction systems were installed, fine metal dust had accumulated throughout the building over many years, blackening large areas of the hall. A central material flow route also had to remain unobstructed.

Solution:
The production hall was thoroughly cleaned, and an intermediate ceiling was installed below the roof structure. Air is now extracted at the facades, filtered through a high-performance cartridge filter system and combined with a supply and exhaust air system that continuously provides fresh air.

 

Wooden windows

After flood coating, wooden frames and windows are lightly sanded to remove the raised wood fibres. Traditionally, the workpieces were sanded horizontally on trestles, allowing dust to spread throughout the production area.

Solution 1:
The complete suspension remains positioned in front of a movable extraction wall that can be adjusted to the workpiece. This allows ergonomic processing of the vertically suspended frames while the sanding dust is extracted and returned to the workplace through a HEPA filtration system.

Solution 2:
The same principle as Solution 1, with the suspension moving continuously through the workstation.

 

Welding shop

Traditional welding shops often relied on extraction arms. In practice, however, these systems are frequently not positioned correctly and therefore cannot provide sufficient protection against hazardous welding fumes and fine dust.

Solution:
An integrated ventilation concept with source air supply at each workstation and central extraction using high-performance cartridge filters.

 

Orthopaedic technology

Orthopaedic workshops process large quantities of plaster models and plastics, generating significant amounts of dust while also using solvents during manufacturing. In this project, the new production facility was designed as a Minergie-P building with very limited permitted air volumes.

Solution:
– Recirculating filter system for plaster and plastic dust
– Ventilated workstations with activated carbon filtration for solvent handling
– Storage cabinets with integrated extraction and EI90 fire protection
– Compact paint booth for small coating applications
