COSMETIC INDUSTRY EXHAUST SYSTEMS

The cosmetics industry is undoubtedly one of the sectors where it is most necessary to provide in a structured way to the aspiration and to the filtration removal of contaminants. The production processes typical of this industrial sector are in fact characterized transversally by the use of often toxic solvents, and therefore by the development and diffusion in the air of harmful or unbreathable vapors, which must be properly captured and disposed of.

Solvents are fundamental for the production of cosmetics, and the toxic vapors that these substances exhale are easily inhaled by operators; if the first consequences of such exposure may be simple irritations or allergic manifestations, prolonged contact can instead cause much more serious disorders, which can involve both the respiratory system and the nervous system, even going so far as to cause tumors. In addition to the danger represented by such toxic and malodorous vapors and gases, the cosmetics industry processes many products that are present as fine powders, which can also spread in the air with great ease and require, similarly to gases and vapors, accurate aspiration and filtration. Where such fine powders are present in the atmosphere, in fact, the problem of possible toxicity is added to that of the risk of explosion, which often makes it necessary to design the entire aspiration system according to ATEX regulations.

Consultation is a fundamental element in the creation of an efficient industrial aspiration system. Balducci provides it free of charge to its customers, starting from the first on-site inspection. In the field of high-efficiency industrial aspiration systems, there are no standard solutions: all the projects of our systems are entirely custom-made, 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 offer of industrial aspiration system maintenance covers both ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, and is aimed at both those customers who have purchased one of our systems and those who have systems installed by others. It can in fact be stated that scrupulously following the maintenance of industrial aspiration systems is a threefold safeguard for the company, and therefore absolutely necessary: by carrying it out correctly, in fact, it prevents potentially toxic substances from accumulating in the air that would compromise the health of 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 that derives 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
