What’s about sustainability, electricity consumption that must be lower, worker well-being and customized workstation?
If you want to be able to say that you have a green company and to be modern, then you cannot underestimate the importance of dust collection systems for your business.
Let’s find out why together…
What is industrial dust extraction?
An industrial dust extraction system is a type of equipment designed to improve air quality by removing dust particles and contaminants from the air in industrial settings.
These systems work by capturing dust at its source and then filtering the air before releasing it back into the environment.
They help maintain a safe and clean workspace, protect equipment from dust damage, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
h3: Why dedusting systems are so important for the tissue and converting sector?
Dedusting systems are crucial for the tissue and converting sector for several reasons:
- improved air quality
These systems help maintain clean air by removing dust particles generated during the tissue manufacturing and converting processes.
- Enhanced product quality
Dust can contaminate the final product, leading to defects and reduced quality. Dedusting systems ensure that the tissues and other products are free from impurities.
- Equipment protection
Dust can accumulate in machinery, leading to increased wear and tear, maintenance issues, and potential breakdowns. Dedusting systems help protect equipment, extending its lifespan and reducing downtime.
- Compliance with regulations
Many regions have strict regulations regarding air quality and worker safety, like the ATEX standard. Dedusting systems help companies comply with these regulations, avoiding fines and legal issues.
- Operational efficiency
By keeping the production environment clean and free from dust, dedusting systems contribute to smoother and more efficient operations. This can lead to higher productivity and lower operational costs.
- Worker health and safety
Prolonged exposure to dust can cause respiratory issues and other health problems for workers. Dedusting systems help create a safer work environment, reducing the risk of health issues and improving overall worker wellbeing.
But that’s not all…
Industrial dust collection systems must also combine more elements, as can be seen from the wide variety of Sorgato products and solutions.
The most important is the filtering systems that can use drum filters, water scrubber filters, bag filters or cyclone filters, based on the specifications of the processes and the company needs.
What are the goals that the tissue and converting sector can achieve thanks to dedusting systems?
The new challenge in the tissue and converting sector today are:
- achieving the right balance between cost sustainability and plant performance;
- install dust extraction systems not only along the line;
- contain electricity consumption;
- facilitate cleaning and maintenance activities by line operators, reducing time and costs;
- predict future needs in advance.
But it’s often not easy to correctly interpret the working conditions of a converting line that is not yet in operation.
To achieve the set objectives it is therefore necessary to make a preliminary survey to know approximately how much dust will be generated and realize a custom dedusting system to place where it is most convenient for workers.
In this way, it’s also possible – thanks to the experience – to facilitate cleaning and maintenance activities by line operators, reducing time and costs, installing dust extraction systems not only along the line and containing electricity consumption.
To make the cost-benefit ratio also more sustainable, the project must include an adequate number of dust hoods and a filter with a fan and motor appropriately sized according to the requirements, based on the estimated amount of dust that will be generated by the plant.
