DENTAL TECHNICIAN EXHAUST SYSTEMS

In dental laboratories, professionals are continuously exposed to a high concentration of ultrafine dust deriving from the processing of dental prostheses. Since the amount of toxic substances released into the air very quickly reaches dangerous volumes, it is necessary to provide for the installation of appropriate systems of aspiration and filtration , which capture such dust before it represents a concrete threat to health.

The production of dental prostheses requires prolonged milling and polishing operations of plaster and special resins; both materials tend, by their very nature, to generate from the beginning of processing a very high quantity of ultrafine dust, which immediately spreads into the air and which, given the proximity of the operator to the object being processed, can be inhaled with extreme ease. This, however, represents a serious threat to health, since the extremely small size and the very nature of these particles can easily lead to the development of serious respiratory and skin disorders. This situation requires the installation of extremely localized aspiration systems, which allow the immediate elimination of such dust as it forms, and then provide for its filtration. A rapidly developing sector in the dental technology field is 3D printing, which allows a significant reduction in time and costs; however, 3D printers generate a large amount of toxic and foul-smelling vapors, which must be immediately captured and aspirated.

Starting from the on-site inspection, and continuing throughout the design phase, Balducci offers its expert consultancy free of charge to all customers on the creation of all industrial aspiration systems. Our industrial aspiration systems are always custom-made, starting from a careful and competent assessment of the operating conditions, the specific situation, and the real needs of each customer. In this field, there are no standard solutions. Among the solutions that must always be provided for in an industrial aspiration system, for example, dust suppression is particularly important. noises : as sector specialists, we are able to include and provide in our systems all the necessary elements in this sense. Where necessary, the systems can be manufactured in accordance with all ATEX regulations .

Balducci's industrial aspiration system maintenance service is aimed at both customers who have one of our systems installed and those who have relied on other companies for the creation of their own, and includes both ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. The maintenance of industrial aspiration systems is, in fact, an absolutely essential operation, for at least three reasons: firstly, it guarantees the uninterrupted operation of the production lines, because it prevents material deposits and blockages; secondly, it protects the health of the operators in the plant, eliminating airborne toxic substances; and lastly, it protects the safety of the company by preventing the risk of fires and explosions.

The main operations related to the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems can be summarized as follows:

• Accurate control of the plant's conditions and verification of component wear

• Cleaning or replacement of the installed filter elements

• Repair of any damage; if necessary, replacement of damaged components

• Verification of the functionality of the aspiration system according to the established efficiency parameters

• Check of the safety devices installed on the system

• Restoration of any compromised functionalities
