15 Key Points to Consider Before Buying a Fume Extraction and Filtration System

During your production processes, harmful particles such as dust, fumes, odors, and oil mist are released from the machines you use. If solving this issue has become complex for you, we recommend reading this article from beginning to end Before Buying a Fume Extraction and Filtration System.

With the advancement of technologies used in industry, production applications continue to evolve and improve day by day.

When investing in a new CNC machine, welding machine, plasma, laser, press, handheld grinder, saw, heat treatment furnace, vertical machining center, or industrial robot, you carefully analyze every detail, make comparisons, and then make your decision.

Afterward, you invest in the most suitable systems you are convinced of in order to improve your production and achieve higher quality, faster, and error-free products.

Once all these systems are commissioned and operated for a short period, or during an inspection, the harmful particles generated by these machines will inevitably emerge as a major issue.

If you identify these problems during inspections, you may have limited time to resolve them or insufficient budget remaining from your allocated investments for that year.

Key Points to Consider When Purchasing Industrial Air Filtration Systems;

1. 1. First, organize a meeting with responsible personnel who are familiar with your application and will use or manage the system, and act together based on common needs.
   2. Do not invest in any system that is merely for show, that you believe will not be used, or that may be temporary. There is no unsolvable problem in fume extraction and filtration systems.
   3. Ensure that the extraction and filtration system will first protect employee health and then improve indoor air quality.
   4. Considering nature and the environment, be sure to integrate the extraction system with a central or local filtered system.
   5. If you have a suitable area in your facility, try to position the filtration system within the indoor environment.
   6. By recirculating the cleaned air back into the same environment, you can save energy by not exhausting the heated air in winter or cooled air in summer.
   7. If you decide to install the system indoors, choose HEPA or ULPA outlet filters with at least H efficiency class according to global standards.
   8. Request and evaluate whether the noise level of the system will be suitable for your working environment from the manufacturer.
   9. If you position the filtration system outdoors, ensure that it meets a maximum emission value of 5mg/nm3 as a global standard.
   10. Prefer filters with a large filtration surface area to achieve long service life and reduced maintenance downtime.
   11. Consider potential layout changes and opt for portable mobile and compact systems.
   12. Do not overlook the environmental damage caused by choosing filterless or coarse-filter systems to avoid filter investment and maintenance costs.
   13. If you prefer a central system for multiple applications, request an energy-efficient system with inverter technology, considering whether your applications will operate simultaneously.
   14. Take precautions in advance without waiting for legal penalties that may arise from occupational diseases, environmental complaints, or inspections.
   15. You can contact your clean air solutions provider FRESHWELD, which considers all your questions and problems and produces the right solutions, to gain more comprehensive information about Fume Extraction and Filtration Systems.
