JEWELRY WORKSHOP EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Aspiration of the harmful substances generated during the typical processing of the goldsmithing sector is necessary to protect above all the health of the operators, who often work in closed and confined environments and therefore would suffer particularly from the inhalation of toxic gases and vapors. In addition to this, the high intrinsic value of the material used makes accurate recovery of even minimal quantities of powdered waste advantageous, with significant economic returns.

There are essentially three goldsmithing operations during which potentially dangerous fumes and gases develop, and which require professional aspiration. First, there are direct metalworking processes, which are often carried out with caustic chemical compounds harmful to the body; secondly, there are welding processes, which always develop toxic fumes; and finally, there are the metal melting and annealing operations, during which poisonous fumes are released. In all these cases, the extreme proximity of the operator to the point of generation of toxic substances requires the use of localized aspiration systems, so as to prevent any inhalation. Parallel to this need for protection, aspiration also meets the need to recover the dust resulting from the processing of gold, whose considerable value makes their capture and purification advantageous for subsequent recovery and reuse.

For each of its industrial aspiration systems, Balducci offers free consultancy from the design phase and on subsequent implementation, starting from an initial on-site inspection. 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 client. In this field there are no standard solutions. Among the solutions that must always be provided for in an industrial aspiration system, particular importance is given, for example, to the abatement 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 offers a preventive and periodic maintenance service for aspiration systems to all its customers; we are able to operate with the same efficiency both on systems of our own making and on those of 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 jams, 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
