Compromised performance. Reduced life. Increased operating costs. Just three consequences of particulates finding its way into large, complex, high-value products. Whether you're building a jet engine, assembling a satellite, or finishing a boat, cleanliness is critical for product quality. Every manufacturer of marine, aerospace, or defense products understands that an industrial clean room is ...
Clean Air in Zero to 60 for Mission-Critical Operations Military and defense contractors face daily, indoor air quality (IAQ) challenges, due to contaminants released from manufacturing and maintenance processes. Finishing metal machinery and components can be particularly hazardous, both to employee health and production deadlines. When time is money, permanent enclosures are not efficient for ...
This study attempts to predict the potential CO2 reduction due to pre–proposed future restructuring scenarios toward clean generation technologies for the Jordanian utility sector. The calculation is based on CO2 emission for unit electricity generated and the changing type of fuel percentages for electricity generation in Jordan. It was found that such restructuring will significantly contribute ...
Save Maintenance Time and Money with Modular Industrial Air Filtration According to the Department of Energy, predictive maintenance can reduce overall industrial maintenance costs by up to 30%, cut downtime by up to 45%, and decrease breakdowns by more than 70%. If you’re a shop floor manager, you already know that proactive maintenance is key to preventing unplanned equipment outages, ...
Employees who don’t work in an industrial profession probably take indoor air quality for granted. But without clean air, CNC machining, stamping, cutting, grinding, welding, and coating processes pose serious health risks for employees. Illness-related lost man-hours and rampant turnover can devastate a shop floor production schedule. Here are just a few manufacturing industries who face ...
Airborne particulates can be a constant challenge for manufacturers. These contaminants can increase wear rates, waste man-hours in clean-ups and rework, and cause potential health problems for employees. Unfortunately, installing a permanent clean room to control airborne particulates is not a cost-effective option, due to footprint and potential productivity disruptions. For manufacturers with ...
Dedicated spray booths, gantry cranes, complex HVAC systems, workflow redesigns … these are just a few of the manufacturing plant layout expenditures for creating clean rooms to capture particulates from messy coating, painting, sanding, and finishing procedures. For large-scale manufacturers, clean rooms are critical not only for a compliant, safe work environment, but also for preventing ...
Lean & Modular Industrial Air Filtration In the face of new economic uncertainties, it may be time for manufacturers to turn to their “lean” roots to apply small ideas to solve seemingly enormous problems. Perhaps this starts with asking questions such as, “What can we do to eliminate inefficiencies associated with potentially-hazardous machining, sanding, coating/painting, ...
Context & Challenges To ensure people’s safety and a good repeatability of industrial process, the analysis of ambient air is crucial. Especially, electronic boards are produced in clean air room by complex lithographic process using very reactive chemicals. The nature and concentration of volatile compounds can be different depending on the chemical process and can also vary rapidly. ...
We previously explored the serious health hazards and bottom-line risks that metal fabricators and other manufacturers face from hexavalent chromium exposure. Fortunately, there are cost-effective, clean air solutions to safeguard employees, increase overall productivity and profits. Duroair’s modular industrial air filtration solutions isolate and capture dangerous hexavalent chromium ...

In any industrial setting, cleanliness is essential to ensuring production quality and reducing operating costs. Whether you’re sanding a boat, manufacturing a jet engine, or finishing an MRAP, dust and other airborne particles can settle into every nook and cranny of your large, complex components. Tiny particulates can contaminate bolts, rivets, or screws and endanger equipment ...
This year we are very pleased to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the first one-inch polarized-media electronic air cleaner. It was thirty years ago that the first polarized-media electronic air cleaner, produced under our “Dynamic Air Cleaner” brand, was introduced. As with many high-efficiency filtration products, polarized media has its roots in industrial applications. ...
Oil mist collectors, much like wet dust collectors and cyclone dust collectors, are used in a huge variety of industrial grinding, cutting, induction hardening, induction heating, and other industrial applications — but information about these commonplace air cleaning tools is few and far between. Here’s a short FAQ for those who want to learn more about the product they’re ...
EPA rethinks air quality standards, seeks comments. By any independent standard, the federal government has made significant progress in reducing lead concentrations in ambient air. Average lead concentrations have dropped 96% since the 1980s, primarily due to the ban on lead in motor vehicle gasoline. Since the late 1970s, bloodlead concentrations for children ages 1 to 5 have decreased ...
As the full effect of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments continue to impact today’s industry, many companies will be required to install new or additional air pollution control equipment. With well over twenty years of proven success, catalytic oxidation is a popular method for controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.During the past 25 years, industry has made progress in ...
Situation A North American weld shop needed a cost-effective way to isolate their robotic welding machine and contain the large clouds of indoor weld smoke that placed both employees and plant productivity at risk. PPE reduced respiratory threats, but did nothing to improve work area visibility. In addition to covering their OSHA and EPA bases, the company needed a clean air solution to: ...
