How can pollutants in sheet metal sanding and satin finishing industries be reduced?

Written by Cindy Vargas | Dec 13, 2021 4:07:27 PM

The industries that deal with sanding, satin finishing and any other similar processing on metal sheets, need to install special systems to reduce the incidence of harmful dust dispersed and produced during processing.

This aspect therefore makes it clear that specific solutions are needed as these products could cause countless damages to people and things present inside the plant.
The presence of chemical agents, intended not only as artificial substances or mixtures, but also as natural ones, exposes workers both to the risk of accidents and occupational diseases, as well as being extremely risky for the entire working environment.
Even simple dusts related to operations of sanding, satin finishing and cutting of metal sheets, can be present harmful pollutants and substances dangerous to humans. This is the reason why it is necessary to use specific aspiration systems, able to reduce their incidence, but above all to give back to the environment a clean air, free from dangerous substances.

Specific filtration systems for environments in which metal sheet is processed


Choosing a specific aspiration plant will allow to reduce the harmful emissions on one side and on the other to protect workers and production lines. This because if dusts are a risk for human health, they are also a risk for machines. Accumulated dirt could, in fact, cause damage to the operation with a consequent increase in the incidence of breakdowns and early deterioration.

In addition, the same residues can accumulate and, besides making the work area dirty, could lead to accidents, such as accidental falls for example, due to the patina formed on the ground and therefore dangerous for those who daily work in the area concerned.

Therefore, we can affirm that identifying the correct filtration system for industries involved in sanding, satin finishing and cutting of metal sheets must be a duty both towards the operators and towards the environment, in order to limit as much as possible the excessive emission of polluting dusts.
