Particle Poker: The Right Filter Strategy for Manufacturing Companies
The selection of the ideal extraction and filtration system is based on a precise analysis of process-related emissions and operational requirements. Further key aspects and parameters play decisive roles. Invisible particles, visible consequences
Modern manufacturing industry is a dynamic field in which innovative joining, cutting, and surface treatment processes, as well as additive manufacturing, deliver top performance on a daily basis. But every coin has its downside: These processes generate particles of varying sizes, shapes, and chemical compositions. Often suspended invisibly in the air, these particles can have serious consequences.
Fine dust and fumes penetrate deep into the respiratory tract and can cause serious long-term health damage. Deposits in machinery and equipment impair their functionality, cause costly downtimes, and can even negatively impact product quality. Furthermore, unfiltered emissions pollute the environment.
To address the urgency of air pollution control, legislators worldwide have enacted strict guidelines. A central pillar of these are European Union (EU) directives, such as the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), which are implemented…
