Health and safety at work

The challenge

The production activities of equipment such as cooling towers, condensers and cooling installations in aid of air conditioning systems require a lot of metalworking and welding. Baltimore
Aircoil concluded for itself that the extraction of welding fumes and hazardous gases in the production halls could be improved.

The solution

Plymovent has rearranged the workplace and provided it with a ‘fully controlled’ source extraction system including 10 UltraFlex extraction arms. The control box and frequency controller ensure a constant extraction. Through an efficient fan and recirculation of valuable warm air the use of energy is minimised. Maintenance is kept to a minimum, thanks to the self-cleaning filtration unit.

The company

Baltimore Aircoil Company is one of the AMSTED Industries; each year approximately 3,000 units leave the BAC European manufacturing plant (Heist-op-den-Berg) which employ some 500 people. AMSTED Industries has the world’s most extensive line of factory-assembled and field-erected cooling towers, evaporative condensers, closed-circuit fluid coolers and thermal storage systems.
