Industrial air filter: protection and safety for your company!
The industrial processes, the people involved and the products handled… All need an environment free of possible contaminants to function safely.
Contaminant agents, such as particles from industrial processes, are released during manufacture and are suspended in the air; particles of dust, pollen or fibers from external environments, enter through cracks, doors and windows, or are carried on people's clothes; and mainly contaminating living organisms such as mites, viruses and bacteria. All these contaminants are capable of causing countless damages to companies. You have to be careful to avoid future problems. Understand…
Risks of contaminated air
Damage to brand reputation, financial losses such as the spoilage of product batches, and even legal consequences (if the company does not adequately comply with air treatment regulations ) are some of the risks a company faces when neglecting air filtration in its physical spaces.
But just as the products and the entire production line are important and require care and protection, people's health is also fundamental!
Controlling air pollution in industrial environments reduces the degree of unsanitary and protects employees.
It is possible to prevent diseases that can be acquired through the air such as:
- Allergies, flu and colds
But in addition, it is also possible to avoid more severe diseases, caused by continuous exposure to toxic elements harmful to the body.
extended protection
In cases of contamination in the product line, the problem can extend to affect the final consumer. In this way, we understand that the risks of air contamination are not restricted to the industrial environment and the people who work there. It can go further, even affecting the health of others.
Air treatment is therefore an extended form of protection for everyone!
Environmental issues
Another fundamental aspect, and also the responsibility of companies, is air treatment for disposal purposes. Industrial air is laden with gases, odors, and toxic residues that remain suspended in the air. Therefore, it is the responsibility of industries to filter the air after production, only then returning it to the atmosphere. This is a way to reduce the environmental impact of industrial processes, in addition to complying with current environmental protection laws.
Filtration systems as a form of protection
To protect themselves, companies use air filtration systems. These systems in turn are built according to the type of process performed. Each process in particular is characterized by the generation of a type of waste… In fact, each waste will therefore need a different type of filtering.
Filtration systems are made up of a combination of filters; various types of filter elements; different filtering classes. Always bearing in mind the degree of purity that is intended to be achieved for that location.
industrial air filter
But regardless of which process the company adopts, the filters undeniably carry out the air treatment process.
See the functionality of the most used filters in industries…
- Coarse and Medium Filters they perform the capture of large particles and help carry out the first step of the air filtration process.
- Activated Carbon Filters they attenuate gases and odors, adsorbing body odors, cooking odors, smoke and renewing external air with harmful gases.
- Fine Filters are able to capture smaller particles and are also widely used as pre-filters of Absolute filters.
- HEPA filters are the so-called absolute filters, as they are capable of retaining micro particles of up to 0,3 µm, achieving a filtration with an efficiency percentage of up to 99,995%.
See some branches of use
Food industries, laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies, due to their need for a high degree of air purity (required by technical standards that regulate and dictate the level to be achieved), widely use Fine Filters and HEPA Filters . They are very characteristic of these places.
Shopping malls and stores use refrigeration and HVAC systems for air filtration. These locations utilize various types of filters with different combinations, with filter mats , filter holders , and multi-bag filters being very common.
Paint booths typically utilize filter mats , pleated cardboard , and many disposable filters in their filtration processes.
In data centers, pleated filters are highly recommended because these facilities require a high degree of cleanliness and, conversely, are locations with a high airflow rate.
In industrial kitchens, filters are used both in range hoods and in the exhaust system . They are fundamental components for ensuring safe air free of contaminants. The use of activated carbon filters for odor adsorption, in addition to metal filters, is very common in these environments.
