In order to minimise these risks, an efficient extraction solution is necessary. To capture and eliminate emissions directly at the source before they can spread into the ambient air, the right capture solution combined with a dust & fume collector is needed. A proper designed system helps to minimise air pollution in the workplace, reduce exposure to hazardous substances and ensure compliance with local occupational health and safety regulations.
The filter elements often became clogged, resulting in production downtime for maintenance and filter replacement. In addition, production was to be expanded to include additional welding robots, so that the dust & fume collection system had to extract a higher volume of process exhaust air together with additional contaminants.
The customer was looking for a solution that would reliably separate the oily welding fumes without the need for additional precoating equipment but also to reduce downtime for maintenance work. Furthermore, the extraction system should provide an appropriate clean gas value so that the cleaned process exhaust air could be returned to the production environment.
Camfil´s proposed solution convinced the customer in that way, that he not only used the extraction solution to expand his machine park, but also replaced the two existing competitor's extraction systems in his production line. The initial quotation was one Gold Series GSX04 dust collector but became two redundant GSX08 dust extraction systems, which now reliably ensure greater safety in 24/7 shift operation.
