DIE CASTING EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Industrial aspiration in companies that deal with die-casting of metals and plastics is a recognized necessity; the dangerous fumes of dust and gases related to the very high-temperature processing of these materials, and their high degree of toxicity for the bodies of operators in these professional environments, are well known. In addition to this, in die-casting plants there is the need to evacuate large masses of superheated air, another requirement that the industrial aspirators can brilliantly solve.

The die-casting procedure, for both plastics and metals, is based on the injection of high-temperature molten material, injected at high pressure into the mold. Industrial aspiration is therefore primarily necessary to manage the fumes and vapors produced by the molten material itself, which have a high degree of toxicity. In addition to this, however, the design of the aspiration system must also take into account the filtration of another potentially toxic element: the aerosol generated by the release agent used on the mold walls, which, in contact with the overheated surfaces, in turn releases other fumes potentially harmful to the respiratory system of operators, who, with prolonged inhalation, can suffer from increasingly severe disorders, up to and including tumors.

Consulting is a fundamental element in the creation of an efficient industrial aspiration system. Balducci makes it freely available to customers, starting from the first site visit. It is not possible to offer standard answers and solutions in the field of industrial aspiration: the possible combinations between the specific needs of the client, particular operating conditions and actual application situations are too numerous. Our systems are always custom-made. Inevitably, for example, an industrial aspiration system must be accompanied by the necessary precautions regarding the abatement noises With years of experience and specialization also in this field, we are able to incorporate these solutions into each of our projects. Where necessary, the systems can be built in accordance with all ATEX regulations .

Balducci's industrial aspiration system maintenance offer 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. Regularly performing maintenance on industrial aspiration systems is, in fact, an operation of the utmost importance, because it implements three fundamental safeguards: that of the health of the operators working in the plant, obtained by cleaning the air of potentially toxic or harmful dust, that of safety regarding fires and explosions, ensured by the elimination of fine dust from the internal atmosphere of the building, and that of productivity, achieved by preventing machine downtime due to material build-up.

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
