Overview
Foundries produce cast metal components by melting, molding, and finishing materials such as iron, steel, aluminum, and brass. These processes generate significant amounts of airborne dust and fumes. Common sources include silica sand from molding, metallic dust from grinding and finishing, combustion byproducts from melting, and fine particulates from shakeout and reclamation. The combination of high heat, abrasive materials, and fine dust makes air quality control critical for worker safety, equipment protection, and regulatory compliance.
Challenges & Considerations
High Heat and Harsh Conditions: Systems must withstand extreme temperatures, radiant heat, and abrasive dust.
Combustible and Toxic Dusts: Aluminum and other non-ferrous metals produce combustible dust, while silica and metallic particulates pose health risks.
Heavy Dust Loads: Shakeout, sand reclamation, and grinding operations generate dense, abrasive dust that quickly wears down filters and ductwork.
Maintenance Access: Large-scale equipment and elevated installations demand service-friendly designs to minimize downtime.
High Temp Construction
By utilizing special grade components, our dust collectors can be used in applications where the processing air is of higher temperatures.
We can also provide filters made from fire-retardant media!
Service Friendly Design
We engineer our dust collectors with serviceability at the forefront—making routine maintenance safer, faster, and more efficient. We recommend a ladder and access platform package as well as a remote mounted fan placement.
HEPA After-Filters & Broken Bag Detectors
Implement secondary safeguards to ensure harmful chemical dusts are properly filtered. We can supply and install HEPA housing units on the return ducting line to capture even the smallest leftover particles. Also available is the particulate detection system, which monitors return airflow to ensure the filtration is working as designed.
