The dust and fume produced is largely carbon-based and
requires extraction to ensure operators are not exposed to irritating or
potentially harmful carbon dust or fumes. Our bespoke extraction hoods
integrated directly with the Antares CNC machine, minimising the facilities
exposure to the contaminants and ensuring the machine can be easily cleaned
down.
The bespoke ductwork is designed with the clients
requirements in mind, conveying the fume and dust via air through a run of
high-quality ductwork at roof-height and allowing access to all sides of the
CNC machine.
The system is integrated with a BlueClean® HC PRO filter unit
which utilises downflow cleaning technology to maximise efficiency; in addition
to this, an ATEX-rated non-return valve and explosion relief panel ensure the
safe treatment of potentially explosive dusts with external venting away from
the facility.
