WOOD INDUSTRY EXHAUST SYSTEMS

In the wood industry, the aspiration systems are a fundamental element of production. Companies that work with wood, such as carpentry shops, are in fact among the industrial realities in which the production of waste dust is greatest, which – together with the fumes generated during processing – represent a problem both from the point of view of health and safety.

The reasons why it is fundamental to install special aspiration systems in wood processing companies can be divided into three distinct categories. First of all, we have safety reasons: sawdust and fine wood dust, which inevitably rise during cutting operations, form nebulizations that present a risk of fire and even explosion. Secondly, wood fumes and dust – in the high quantities that tend to accumulate in companies in this sector – represent a threat to the health of operators, because they can cause long-term respiratory diseases. Finally, the accumulation of dust and especially chips on work surfaces and machinery also risks compromising their proper functioning, and represents a threat to the quality of the finished product. For all these reasons, installing industrial aspiration systems along wood processing lines is an indispensable necessity.

Consulting on the design and construction of all Balducci industrial aspiration systems is completely free, from the initial survey to the conclusion of the project. Our industrial aspiration systems are always custom-made, starting from a careful and competent evaluation 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 foreseen in an industrial aspiration system, for example, dust abatement is of particular importance. 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 is able to offer a professional ordinary and extraordinary maintenance service for aspiration systems, both to customers where it has installed its own system and to those whose systems have been built by other companies. 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 toxic substances suspended in the air, and lastly it protects the safety of the company by avoiding 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
