A laminating roll cleaner, calender roll cleaner, chill roll cleaner or backing roll cleaner are a few examples of roll cleaners that are custom designed and manufactured by Polymag®. Process roll cleaners developed by Polymag® use either the contact cleaning roll technology for dry loose surface contamination or scrubbing contact devices to mechanically loosen and remove contamination without process roll damages.

The effective separation of dust particles is based on the centrifugal force in a rotating air-stream, which is obtained by a specially designed centrifugal impeller and increased by means of guide vanes. The powerful rotation hurls the dust particles against the cylinder walls, where the dust-laden air is separated from the rest of the air in the separation section and led to the mini cyclone. The mini cyclone separates the remaining air - approximately 5 %of the total amount of air - from the dust, which is then discharged through an air lock valve into a bag or a dust container.

Advanced Bulk and Conveying, Inc., dust collectors operate on reverse air pulse principle. Dusty air enters the unit and passes through the filter bags, leaving dust on the bag exterior. Filtered air is exhausted to the atmosphere at the top of the unit. An electric timer actuates valves in sequence, which releases compressed air through venturi tubes. Shock waves formed in the venturi travel downward and release caked dust from the bag exterior and then collects the dust in the discharge cone.

They arrive in bags of 1,000 corks or 2,000 capsules. As long as a spot check yields no corks with more than 2 milligrams of dust per cork, the industry standard recommended by the Cork Quality Council, then they’re good to go. Staff rips open a bag and loads them into the hopper, which feeds the bottling line. Depending on line speeds, they’ll last a few hours—and then it’s time for another bag.

All too often, the manufacturing debris on components is not soil (foreign material), but rather clean dry particles of the same composition as the finished assembly. Wiping or blowing particles off doesn’t address the problem of statically charged surfaces or the statically charged particles you are trying to remove. By using an air knife with ionizing bar you can remove particles and eliminate static attraction. Posted by Sonic Air Systems, Inc. in Case Studies.

Through milling, sanding, grinding crushing or cutting, general manufacturing often generates large amounts of dust that settles on equipment and facility structure surfaces. If fire ignites in a contained area where combustible dust particles have accumulated, such as a duct system or overhead beam, the formula for an explosion is complete, and while an initial blast can be devastating, it often stirs up additional dust that can ignite, leading to a secondary blast that can destroy an entire facility.

Hexavalent chromium is a natural metal used in the manufacture of stainless steel. Even before the new Cr(VI) exposure regulation, OSHA had established limits of 5 mg/m3 for carbon steel and other types of welding to protect the health of welders and employees in the surrounding area.

One good reason: Dust and fine particles 0.5 microns or smaller can leak right through a new bag or cartridge filter’s pores, working their way deep into the media to the point of blinding, or clogging, the filter and slowing or stopping airflow through your collector. So if your dust particles are smaller than 10 microns, taking the time to pretreat your new filters’ media surface with a dry precoating material — such as agricultural lime or diatomaceous earth — is smart.

After determining that they couldn’t find a satisfactory source to produce pre-cut boards for these new signs, Dee Sign executives decided to cut the signs themselves. Since they would now be cutting 10 to 15 pieces of fiberboard at a time, several hazardous situations arose: abundance of dust disposal because sawing a large amount of fiberboard at once creates very fine sub-micron particles, which can be hazardous when inhaled, saw is located next to paint finishing area; the sawdust could damage the sign’s finish and sawdust is potentially an explosive material.

Each production line created a thick haze of particulate where fiberglass rolls are cut, glass is broken and where fiberglass media is inserted into a cardboard frame. Because dust was released in several places, it made the fiberglass particulate difficult to capture. Also, standard air cleaning equipment designs are not equipped to capture the large amount of dust produced in this facility. Dust settled on machinery as well as employees’ clothing, hair and into their eyes. Even though employees wore safety glasses, fiberglass contaminants caused daily eye injuries.

Available in an assortment of media—including Protura® Nanofiber—UAS cartridge filters rank among the highest in performance, efficiency and value. Keep in mind that not all cartridge filters are created equal. Low-cost commodity filters typically have a shorter filter life cycle, lower efficiency rating and actually contribute to an increase in the energy demands of a dust collection system.

Most of the material sprayed at Thermal Spray Technologies is stainless steel or another chromium-bearing material. A by-product of the spray chromium is the pollutant hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Thermal Spray Technologies was in compliance with the pre-existing Cr(VI) limits of 52 ?g/m3. But when OSHA lowered the Cr(VI) permissible exposure limit (PEL) by a factor of 10, to an eight-hour time weighted average exposure limit of 5?g/m3 of Cr(VI), management realized there was no way they could meet the new regulation with their existing media filtration source capture system.

The resulting weld smoke and fumes can harmfully affect the plant environment unless they are successfully captured and clean air is maintained. Typically, source capture systems do the best job of capturing weld fume contaminants with the least amount of air volume requirement or CFM. Source capture systems include fume collection hoods, ducting, an air cleaning device and air moving devices (fans). But in a large, open facility like Cherubini’s, with overhead cranes and large fabricated structural pieces, a source capture system was impractical.

The company’s Polymer Compounding Division (PCD) plant in Whitewater, Wis., produces custom rubber compounds that are sent to the company’s molding facilities or sold to customers for manufacturing various end products. In the past, the PCD plant’s four fan-cooled roller mill motors frequently failed prematurely because the motors’ fans pulled in nuisance carbon black dust with the cooling air. Since the failing motors caused high maintenance costs and unacceptable production downtime, the company needed to find a way to increase the motors’ operating life.

The unit can be placed directly on or adjacent 10 a machining center. Ease of installation and low maintenance help make the Coolant-Cat a practical and economical solution for capturing harmful contaminants. Filtration becomes more efficient as the primary filter loads, and unlike other air cleaning technologies, the Coolant-Cat coUects small, large and conductive materials. The filters are easy to replace and the media collection surface holds up to 30% more contaminant than comparable products, which means less frequent filter changes.

This innovative cartridge dust collection system is specifically designed to capture the smoke, dust and powders that result from a variety of manufacturing operations. With a choice of two compact, low-profile sizes—750 or 1,500 CFM —the V Series truly is the most economical solution for cleaner factory air. The V Series is available in three configurations: an integrated downdraft bench, a portable unit with swing arm and a free standing system. Installation is simple, requiring an electrical connection and a compressed air connection for the in-place cleaning option. Posted by United Air Specialists, Inc. in Product Brochures.

The most effective method of capturing weld fume particulate from a welder’s breathing zone is to collect it directly at the source. This is a difficult task given that up to 95% of weld fume particulate is submicron (less than 1 micron) in size. Particles in this size range are considered respirable, or so small that they simply pass through the body’s normal filtering system and directly into the lungs. UAS is serious about clearing the air of weld fume particulate, and has developed a unique line of proprietary solutions for welding applications.
