Why filter in storage and handling?
Filtration in storage and handling facilities is vital for several reasons:
- Storage protection: Goods and materials in storage need to be protected from contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture. This can significantly affect the quality and usability of stored goods.
- Safety: Safety is a top priority in storage and handling facilities. Filtration plays a role in protecting personnel from harmful fumes and gases, as well as in preventing fire and explosion hazards.
- Operational efficiency: Clean air and liquid filtration contribute to the reliability of machines and equipment, resulting in smooth operation of forklifts, conveyors, and other logistics equipment.
- Environmental protection: Minimizing emissions and preventing air and water pollution is essential to comply with environmental regulations and maintain the company's reputation.
