The footwear manufacturing sector is probably one of the industrial areas where the presence of substances necessary for the production process and at the same time highly harmful to the health of operators is most commonly found. The solution to this problem is naturally the installation of appropriate aspiration systems Specifically calibrated to the typical needs of this sector.

In the footwear production process, there are two critical areas where industrial aspiration is fundamental: leather processing and the bonding of the various parts of the shoe.

During the first phase, in fact, the processing involves operations that generate dry dust and leather waste, which must be immediately aspirated from the work area. More subtle, but also more relevant, is the problem related to the pollutants present in the mastics used for gluing soles and uppers, and in the products used for cleaning the finished footwear: these are organic solvents highly harmful to the nervous system and respiratory tract, such as toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, methylcyclopentane, cyclohexane and n-hexane, in addition to acetone and toluene acetate. All gases and vapors released by these substances require immediate and accurate aspiration, followed by the necessary filtration.

Starting from the on-site survey, and continuing throughout the design phase, Balducci offers free expert advice to all its clients on the construction of all industrial aspiration systems. In the field of high-efficiency industrial aspiration systems, there are no standard solutions: all the projects of our systems are entirely custom-designed, based on the actual conditions, situations and needs of each client. For example, an industrial aspiration system very often requires an efficient abatement system. noises : as sector specialists, we are able to design and include this element in our offer. Where necessary, the systems can be built in accordance with all ATEX regulations .

Balducci's industrial suction system maintenance service is aimed at both clients who have one of our systems installed and those who have relied on other companies for the construction of their own. It includes both ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. It can in fact be stated that scrupulously following the maintenance of industrial suction systems is threefold protection for the company, and therefore absolutely necessary: by performing it correctly, in fact, it prevents potentially toxic substances from accumulating in the air that would compromise the health of the operators, it prevents the processed material from accumulating in the machinery with the consequent risk of machine downtime and jams, and it avoids the danger of fires or explosions deriving from 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
