STEEL INDUSTRY, METALLURGY, FOUNDRY
Steel & metallurgy, major players in the industrial era
Metalworking in all its phases, in steelworks, foundries, forges, mechanical workstations, surface treatment (TTS) and paint shops, generates fumes, dust, oil mist from whole oils and emulsions, steel, cast iron, titanium, aluminum chips…
For example, the OEL for oil mist is set to 0.5 mg/m3, welds on STAINLESS STEEL generate Hexavalent Chromium aerosols (classified CMR) and gaseous pollutants such as NO (Nitrogen Monoxide) , NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) , O3 (Ozone) from COCl2 (Phosgene) , Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) , or particulate pollutants such as iron, aluminum or manganese oxides… (Useful Doc: ED 6132 – Welding fumes)
Aluminum or Titanium dusts are classified as explosive…
The fumes from furnaces, presses and ovens produce fumes and hot gases that pollute the atmosphere and are sources of energy that can be collected and recycled…
Solutions that meet industry requirements
In metal working, WATTOHM adapts to the constraints and specificities of the sector by offering robust equipment, resistant to heat and abrasion, allowing to respect standards and recommendations such as rejection rates, acoustic and environmental constraints.
We offer solutions for dust extraction, filtration, dust removal from furnaces, crucibles, rolling mills, oil mist extraction and filtration on machining lathes, chip transport, dust removal from grinding wheels, back stand and sanding, acid or solvent vapor extraction from surface treatment tanks, surface preparation such as sanding, polishing or pickling…
New technologies such as lasers, during powder handling, cutting, welding, embossing or additive manufacturing operations generate nano smoke and fine dust that must be extracted, filtered and sometimes recycled.
Similarly, specific extractions generate significant workstation depressions. These depressions facilitate the entry of parasitic air and generate air currents that disturb the aspirations and certain processes. We offer ventilation systems to balance the aeraulic balance of the workshops, and to ensure the comfort of the operators in terms of temperature, humidity and air speed.
Solutions dedicated for heavy duty industry
We design extraction and filtration systems in accordance with INRS recommendations, in compliance with client specifications and food standards. Our metalworking installations meet industry requirements in terms of abrasion, temperature resistance and productivity (5x8h, 7x8h, VSD, etc.).
Our team is familiar with the specific requirements of this heavy and often demanding industry and will be able to meet any specific needs you may have in the metallurgy, steel and foundry industries. Wattohm has surrounded itself with trained and qualified partners to meet these needs.
Our team offers project-based solutions, with various milestones linked to the installation acceptance process, in order to provide you with all the information you need, on time, with follow-up according to your availability.
