Dust collector

In most production processes, micro particles are generated that remain suspended in the air, these are breathed in directly by workers and can cause various respiratory diseases.

This 2022, during the past World Health Day, the WHO, has presented a new analysis of its Guidelines to measure Air Quality throughout the world, the results are not encouraging, 99% of the world population breathes polluted air .

In the Industrial sector around the world, there are processes that require the use of some type of manufacturing gas, whether they are dedicated to metallurgy, food, health, agriculture, etc. Its use depends to a large extent on the applications and the function it fulfills during the production process.

Industries dedicated to manufacturing or assembly, in their distribution within the plant, implement small, compact and versatile areas, called work stations. These are regularly placed in series, since this makes the production lines more efficient.

During 2022, the industrial sector around the world is facing the challenge of continuing to protect the health of employees, improve the conditions of the work area, avoid emitting pollutants into the atmosphere at all costs and make the most of the company's budget. Without a doubt, these are some of the challenges that require the use of equipment and technology, in addition to an effective analysis that allows them to be faced and solved.

Good practices in the management of Combustible Metals within companies are based on the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standard 484, this standard establishes the appropriate parameters for the prevention and management of these residues, such as: potassium , magnesium, zirconium, titanium, sodium and lithium.

The National Fire Protection Association or NFPA, is an international voluntary institution, which aims to standardize action protocols in Fire Protection and Prevention (National Fire Codes), this entity promotes good practices in the fire fighting and prevention.

Combustible dusts are considered all those materials that have as part of their properties the ability to catch fire or generate an explosion. The NFPA 654 of the year 2006 defines it as any solid particle that represents fire or deflagration, regardless of its size.

The performance of the bags or sleeves depends closely on the materials with which it is manufactured, as well as other factors. Choosing the right filter for a Dust Collector is very important, since the efficiency of capturing the particles depends on this and that the equipment has optimal performance during its operation.

Have you ever wondered how much money preventive maintenance on your equipment or machinery saves you? It is undoubtedly one of the most frequent questions we ask ourselves while making budgets for this area in companies.
