Metalworking & Blasting

Selecting filters for metalworking and blasting

When selecting filters for metalworking and blasting, there are important considerations:

• Application-specific: Filters should be chosen based on the type of machining process, the material, and the contaminants generated.
• Efficiency: Filters should provide the right efficiency to remove specific particle sizes and contaminants.
• Maintenance: Filter maintenance should be feasible and cost-effective to ensure production continuity.
• Regulations: Filters must comply with industrial standards and regulations for air quality and safety.

Example situations for filtration in metalworking and blasting

Filtration in metalworking and blasting occurs in various situations to optimize the work environment and ensure the health of employees:

• Welding fume extraction: During welding, welding fumes containing harmful particles and vapors are generated. Mobile welding fume extraction units are used to capture and filter this welding fume directly at the source before it reaches the breathing zone of welders.
• Blasting operations: Blasting operations such as grit blasting or sandblasting create dust and abrasive particles. Air filtration solutions are used to remove this dust and particles from the air, keeping the work environment clean and safe.
• Metalworking in workshops: Various processes in metalworking workshops such as grinding, drilling, and milling can spread fine dust and metal particles in the air. Filter bags, hoses, and cartridges are used to remove these contaminants and improve air quality.
• Maintenance of compressed air systems: Compressed air systems play a crucial role in metalworking. Compressed air filters are used to purify the compressed air and ensure the reliability of pneumatic tools and machinery.

These example situations emphasize the need for filtration in metalworking and blasting to create a safe and efficient work environment, as well as to protect equipment and employees from harmful contaminants.
