How NanoFiltech Helps the Metal Industry Keep Dangerous Particles Out of the Air
People in the metalworking sector generally don't think about the quality of the air until it becomes a problem. Grinding, welding, polishing, and cutting all release a lot of small dust and metal particles into the air. These toxins in the air can hurt equipment, put workers' health at risk, and even cause expensive downtime.
We know that the air quality problems in metal manufacturing facilities are very complicated at NanoFiltech. That is why we are working on producing next-generation filtering materials that will help keep the air clean, make systems work better, and enable long-term sustainable operations. Why it's important to control particles in metal processing
Facilities that do heavy-duty machining, surface finishing, or foundry operations can have a lot of particles. If these pollutants aren't controlled, they can cause:
• HVAC and dust collector work less well
• Workers' health problems (respiratory irritation, long-term exposure)
• Equipment wears out and rusts
• Problems with following OSHA, ISO, or local rules
Fine particles like PM2.5 or ultrafine metal dust are especially harmful since they stay in the air and are easy to breathe in. The first and most important line of defense is good filtration.
NanoFiltech's Plan for Clean Air in the Metal Industry
We provide a six-step method for keeping the air clean in metalworking areas:
1. Find the sources of particle emissions
Do site surveys to find out where and how particles are made, like in grinding zones, cutting stations, welding booths, and so on. Also, map out the airflow paths throughout the building.
2. Set Goals for Air Quality
Set targets for each workstation that can be measured, like PM2.5 levels below 35 µg/m³ or a pressure drop of 120 Pa or less. These benchmarks help you choose the right filter and construct the right system.
In places with a lot of dust or humidity and caustic materials, regular filters might not work. NanoFiltech's nanofiber-coated filter medium has:
99.5% efficiency on PM2.5 and smaller particles; low pressure drop, which lowers fan energy use; materials that resist moisture and corrosion; and a longer filter life, even when the fan is running hard.
4. Make sure the sealing and integration are done right
Bad sealing around filters or leaks in ducts might affect performance. To get the most out of your filters and keep them in good shape, we suggest utilizing high-quality gaskets, filter frames, and pressure drop monitoring sensors.
5. Make the air flow and ventilation better
Use NanoFiltech nanofiber filters to set up effective localized exhaust systems (such welding hoods and grinding booths) along with centralized HVAC units. Increasing the air change rate (ACH) also helps get rid of and catch pollutants more effectively. 6. Keep an eye on, fix, and make things better
Keep an eye on air quality in real time using particle counters and differential pressure sensors. Set up a plan for changing the filter based on load and performance, not just time.
Why choose NanoFiltech?
NanoFiltech makes industrial air purification materials that are better at filtering because they include nanofibers in them. Our products are designed to provide both high-efficiency filtration and low airflow resistance, which makes them perfect for:
Metal fabrication shops, foundries and machining facilities, welding, polishing, or cutting activities, and dust collection and HVAC systems in hostile environments are all examples of places where this is used.
We can help you with PM control, energy savings, and better air quality at work, whether you're building a new filtration system or replacing an old one.
Clean air makes people more productive and safe.
Clean air is no longer simply good for your health; it's also good for your business. Controlling airborne particles makes equipment last longer, cuts down on maintenance, and keeps your workers healthier and more productive.
NanoFiltech can help you improve the air quality in your building with high-performance nanofiber filtration systems that are made to meet the needs of modern metal manufacturing.
