PLASTICS INDUSTRY EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Industrial aspiration is an absolutely fundamental need in the plastics industry, for managing the large quantity of toxic emissions that develop during processing and that seriously threaten the health and well-being of operators in the sector. In addition to purifying the air from harmful contaminants, the aspiration systems also contribute to reducing humidity in the work environments of these companies, bringing the microclimate that normally forms there to more comfortable levels.

The fumes in the form of toxic gases and fumes that industrial aspiration systems allow to be captured and filtered are generated, in the plastics industry, at various stages of processing, requiring different aspiration points along the production line; it is also necessary to consider that these emissions are accompanied by the generation of dust of different granulometry, which must also be eliminated. The most problematic areas are those relating to grinding and crushing, cutting, and molding and extrusion processes, during which both fumes and organic vapors are released. Even where polymers that are not inherently toxic are used, the additives and chemical agents necessary for their processing emit harmful fumes, and prolonged inhalation could cause serious health problems for operators.

Balducci's consulting services on the design and construction of all industrial aspiration systems are completely free of charge, from the initial site survey to the project's completion. The industrial aspiration sector always requires consideration of conditions, application situations, and specific needs that are inevitably unique and different for each client. None of our systems are standard: all are custom-made. One of the fundamental considerations that must be made, for example, when designing an industrial aspiration system is that relating to abatement. noises ; Balducci specializes in this sector, and can always provide the ideal solution for each proposed system. Where necessary, the systems can be built in accordance with all ATEX regulations .

Balducci is able to offer a professional ordinary and extraordinary maintenance service for aspiration systems, both to clients where it has installed its own system and to those whose systems were built by other companies. There are at least three reasons why it is absolutely necessary to regularly carry out periodic maintenance of industrial aspiration systems: to ensure the trouble-free operation of production lines by avoiding the deposit of materials, to protect the health of operators by eliminating all potentially harmful substances from the air, and to prevent fire or explosion hazards by preventing the uncontrolled accumulation of fine dust in the air.

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
