The filling and sewing process involved in the production of duvets and pillows, generates a lot of textile dust. Moving and storing the finished products and materials also contributes to the large amounts of dust that accumulate in the air and on the equipment.
Frequent downtime due to dust
The dust in the production area at Dan Bedding required considerable cleaning and caused a number of problems during the sewing process. The dust would settle in layers on the sewing threads and often cause the threads to break, resulting in stopped operations at the sewing stations.
In addition, the employees working in production experienced discomfort due to the amount of dust in the air - especially at the filling station, where duvets and pillows are filled with fiber material.
Dan Bedding took action and contacted several suppliers of air filtration products, including Camfil, to find the best solution to the dust problem.
The proposed solution & the test
Camfil visited Dan Bedding and suggested the CC 6000 air cleaners that can easily be moved around when needed. These air cleaners are equipped with efficient HEPA filters that capture up to 99.95% of the particles in the air.
The CC 6000 air cleaner ensures more efficient production, a healthier working environment, and optimised air quality with less dust and fewer particles in the air.
The CC 6000 air cleaner has proven its worth with many satisfied customers in the industry. Camfil was able to demonstrate a very similar situation that took place at MC Emballage, a total supplier of industrial packaging. In their case the CC 6000 air cleaners completely solved their dust problems. The production manager from Dan Bedding visited MC Emballage and saw the solution in action.
Dan Bedding decided to trial a CC 6000 air cleaner for a month to experience the difference for themselves.
