How Does a Dust ​Collection System Work?

In its most basic form, LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) systems are industrial dust extraction systems designed to draw airborne dust particulate away from production areas to improve the air quality in a production facility. The dust extraction system reduces exposure to harmful inhalable fumes and dusts and helps comply with safety standards. Once airborne dust is captured and conveyed to a dust extraction filter unit, it is purified by being separated from the airstream. The air is then released back into the building or discharged externally to atmosphere. It is essential to control the level of respirable dust inside a production facility to prevent health hazards for your employees, and it should be regarded as a priority. This article will dive into your LEV system's key components and considerations.

Why is dust control essential for laser and plasma cutting?

Both laser and plasma cutting machines use highly concentrated channels of energy to cut through a variety of materials including wood, some plastics, metal, fabrics, and rubber. Whilst some materials react well to laser and plasma cutting, others can smoke and burn, release sparks or gas, or produce toxic vapours. Laser and plasma cutting is a highly effective method of cutting a range of materials but must be practised safely, with adequate ventilation and protection put in place to control these hazards.

The Future of the Beverage Can Manufacturing Industry

The beverage can industry has seen increasing innovation in recent years; disruptions to the supply chain during the pandemic affected the mining of raw materials and consequent production, but also highlighted the global reliance on single-use consumer products from PPE to plastic bottles. Growing demand for a recyclable and sustainable solution led forward-thinking manufacturers to innovate new shapes, volumes, and designs of aluminium beverage containers as a lightweight and 100% recyclable alternative to plastic bottles. Recent reports suggest that a multitude of factors have influenced the future of the beverage can manufacturing industry, with post-pandemic consumer mindsets leading the way for this resilient and adaptable industry.

Understanding Dust Hazards in Brick Production

Understanding dust hazards in brick production is essential in ensuring a safe and successful manufacturing process. Dust can be a significant issue in brick production, as it can create an unhealthy environment for workers and contributes to air pollution. It is important to understand the sources of dust and the steps that can be taken to reduce dust hazards. Employers should implement effective dust control measures such as adequate ventilation and dust suppression systems to reduce dust hazards. Employers should also ensure that raw materials are stored properly and finished products are handled carefully. By taking these steps, employers can help to reduce dust hazards in brick production.

Dust Control for Animal Feed Manufacturing: All you need to know

The animal feed manufacturing process has always been an area of concern regarding combustible dust. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) governs the animal feed processing industry through the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) to ensure safe work environments.

Most Hazardous Occupations for Dust

Hazardous working conditions are a big concern for a lot of employers, especially in recent years. When it comes to dust and working conditions, this is now a significant concern for many businesses working in many sectors regarding health and safety. HSE (Health and Safety England) has reported an estimated 12,000 lung disease deaths each year linked to past exposures at work. With this in mind and the startling figures surrounding hazardous dust, at IntegratedAIR Filtration, we specialise in dust extraction units. Our mission is to keep our clients’ businesses safe, so here’s what you need to know about hazardous dust and the occupations at risk.

Why Is Dust Extraction So Crucial in​ The Workplace?

Any dust created in the manufacturing process can be hazardous for those working on an industrial site and potentially lead to significant health issues. We at integratedAIR Filtration help our clients find the correct dust extraction for their business and tailor on BlueClean® units to suit their unique needs. When dealing with the manufacturing process or raw materials, all industrial workers know they often produce harmful airborne contaminants. Dust and fumes are one of the leading causes of health problems in industrial workplaces; correct extraction systems are not only essential to meet workplace regulations, but they ensure the safety of your employees. If there’s one thing that many industries often fall short on, it’s proper dust extraction. Here are some reasons why dust extraction is so necessary for the workplace;

Why is ATEX Vital?

At integratedAIR Filtration, we understand the importance of dust extraction units required for staying safe in hazardous working environments. It is essential to have a correctly designed dust extraction in ATEX environments. In areas where explosive atmospheres are identified, employers must specify the level of risk by assigning each area a zone classification, based on: How likely could an accident be? How often is the explosive atmosphere present? How long would any reaction last if it was to occur?
