Fume Extractors for Injection moulding

Fumes have immediate effects on health like irritation to the eyes, nose and lungs. In some cases, these effects can be severe, long-term and irreversible. Client had installed Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) to clear fumes but performance of this filter was disappointing and within 2-3 months they had to search for new filtration system.

Challenge

  • Poor air quality due to fumes posed a threat to employee health as fumes affect respiratory system
  • Fumes resulted into a smoggy environment on shop floor affecting visibility

Approach

The team from SFS studied the ESP used by the Client and suggested to switch to the mobile fume extractor. The Client’ s team was hesitant and sceptical to invest in a new solution immediately, especially given the failure of their existing system. Sensing the Client’s need for a reliable and full-proof filtration system SFS’s team offered a trial of its Mobile Fume Extractor on one of the injection moulding machines in the production line.

Solution

The Mobile Fume Extractor from SFS is a centralized solution to create a safer environment on the shop floor by eliminating fumes. The Client’s team observed the performance of SFS’s solution and noticed improvements in the air quality to complete satisfaction. SFS designed a centralised fume extractor with ducting facility. A single system could be installed on the production line consisting of six machines to filter the fumes from injection moulding machine.
