Product suitable for these processes:

Application

Application: Bonding process

Air-technical prerequisites

For bonding processes with glues or other application media, dust, vapours, stabilizers or aerosols in general can become airborne and pose a potential high risk.

Studies prove that aerosols which develop during application proceses cause skin allergies. Especially areas of the skin on arms, neck, forehead, eyes and lips are affected. Different procedures during the process as for example mixing or application increase molecular development of aerosols.

These areosols can be removed by direct exhaustion from the work atmosphere and filtered out reliably with approved air cleaning equipment.

By doing so, not only health hazards are eliminated but general risks as well:

Risk of fire,
smell nuisances,
unwanted impairment of sourrounding surfaces/workpieces.

Folding

Folding: transforming process, non-cutting.

Potential risks with non-cutting machining operation.

For folding processes, very often supportive agents (especially lubricants) are used. They provide for minimized friction and cooling of tools. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (coolant mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines.

In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

Coolants are, generally speaking, complex mixtures, which contain besides oil as a basic component many other components. These are either contained deliberately (e. g. additives) or are brought into the coolant during the production process (e. g. cracked elements). The different wanted and unwanted components form the cause for specific hazards resulting from coolants:

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Drilling

Drilling: chipping machining operations

Potential risks with chipping machining operations

For drilling processes, very often supportive agents (especially lubricants) are used. They provide for minimized friction and cooling of tools. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (coolant mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines.

In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Turning

Turning: cutting process, chipping.

Potential risks with (metal-) cutting machining operation.

For turning processes, very often supportive agents (especially lubricants) are used. They provide for minimized friction and cooling of tools. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (coolant mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines. In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Eroding

Eroding: shaping process, erosive procedure.

General hazards provoked by dielectric fluids.

The fluids used especially for diesinking demand precautionary steps due to their high risk potential regarding fire and water safety. When choosing dielectric fluids for operation, work safety issues regarding skin kindness, toxicity (low content of condiment), smoke and odour development should be taken into account.

Specific hazards

Eroding machines must be equipped with fire prevention features and air cleaning devices. Possible specific dangers are:

fire dangers,
health hazards through vapours,
and skin contact with potentially hazardous dielectric fluids.

Milling

Milling: cutting process, chipping.

Potential risks with (metal-) cutting machining operation.

For milling processes, very often supportive agents (especially lubricants) are used. They provide for minimized friction and cooling of tools. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (coolant mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines. In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Casting

Casting: shaping procedure

General Hazards provoked by aerosols or gases during casting processes

Almost all casting processes for almost all materials provoke aerosols and especially smoke and gases due to the high temperatures applied. These contaminants pose hazards, which should not be underestimated. These can be discriminated into general and specific dangers. The specific dangers are:

risks of fire and explosions,
general long-term health hazards,
generally lowered product and production quality
loss in capital goods, especially by soiling of facilities/workshops.

Specific (health) dangers through contaminants

The (liquid) materials used are generally complex mixtures, which consist of several components. Due to the high temperatures these mixtures are in part chemically transformed and new components develop (e.g. residual substances or gases), which pose a threat to health:

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Tempering

Tempering/Hardening: changing of material, aerosol-forming

Risk potentials during hardening processes

Hardening (of metals) serves for increasing the mechanical resistance of materials. The liquids to cool down the material (e.g. emulsion, oil or salt baths) pose a general hazard with regard to the developing aerosols (e.g. smoke, mist or steam).

In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Bonding

Glueing/Bonding: Bonding process, outgassing.

Air-technical prerequistes for bonding procedures.

Handling of solid and liquid glues, which contain plasticizers, solvents, stabilizers, catalysts, initiators and other caustic or irritant materials demand great care. These materials inherit a high risk potential.

Studies prove that aerosols which develop during outgassing (drying) of the bond cause skin allergies. Especially areas of the skin on arms, neck, forehead, eyes and lips are affected. Different procedures during bonding as for example mixing or application increase molecular development of aerosols.

These areosols can be removed by direct exhaustion from the work atmosphere and filtered out reliably with approved air cleaning equipment.

By doing so, not only health hazards are eliminated but general risks as well:

Risk of fire,
smell nuisances,
unwanted impairment of sourrounding surfaces/workpieces.

Lasing

Lasing: Bonding procedure, aerosol forming.

Dangers and health risks resulting from lasing processes.

During lasing processes - very much comparable to welding - several dangerous gaseous substances and particles develop. These substances form out of:

Basic and additive material,
coatings and
general impurities.

Due to the high temperatures during the lasing process these substances form through different physical and/or chemical processes:

Evaporation,
condensation,
oxidation,
corrosion,
pyrolysis and
burning.

Particles which develop during lasing are very fine and homogenous and are exclusively alveolar. That means they penetrate even the smallest pulmonary alveoles. Substances which develop during lasing have got different effects on the human body; iron oxide, for example, can lead to increased stress on the lungs. Another negative effect may even be obstructive bronchitis or siderosis. General health hazards are:

Stress on pulmonary function
deposit of dust in the lungs
siderosis
aluminosis

Protective measurements and air filtration

Effective air filtration and cleaning is the only possibility to remove contaminants out of the respiratory aera of a worker and the workshop as a whole. Furthermore, facilities and workshops are protected against pollution of smoke particles, which very often form a greasy layer on surfaces. Air pollution control systems need special filters for extraction of lasing dust. Mostly surface-type filters such as the "TUBE"-technology is applied due to the nature of the dust.

Pressing

Pressing: non-cutting process, shaping.

Potential risks with non-cutting machining operation.

For pressing processes, very often supportive agents (especially form release agents) are used. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines.

In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Sawing

Sawing: cutting process, chipping.

Potential risks with (metal-) cutting machining operation.

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),

loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,
bronchial asthma and pulmonary fibrosis.

Grinding

Grinding: cutting/chipping process, material removal.

Potential risks with (metal-) cutting machining operation.

For grinding processes, very often supportive agents (especially coolants) are used. They provide for supporting the grinding process and cooling of tools. Adding such supportive agents results in the development of aerosols (coolant mist, smoke), which should be treated with caution and seen as a high-potential risk to humans and machines. In this context, general hazards and specific risks can be distinguished. The general hazards with regard to the spreading of aerosol mist are:

slip hazards (e. g. on greasy, oily, wet floors),
fire hazards (e. g. by spreading of small fires on oily surfaces and through explosions caused by dense oil/emulsion mist),
development of an explosive atmosphere,
constant long-term health effects (e. g. by long-term inhalation of aerosols),
in general lower production and product quality (e. g. by dirty production processes).
loss in value of capital goods.

Specific (health) hazards caused by aerosols

Grinding coolants are, generally speaking, complex mixtures, which contain besides oil as a basic component many other components. These are either contained deliberately (e. g. additives) or are brought into the coolant during the production process (e. g. cracked elements). The different wanted and unwanted components form the cause for specific hazards resulting from coolants:

chronical bronchitis and lipid pneumonia,
acute and chronical changes in the functioning of the lungs,

Welding

Welding: Bonding procedure, aerosol forming.

Dangers and health risks resulting from welding.

During welding processes several dangerous gaseous substances and particles develop. These substances form out of:

Basic and additive material,
shielding gas,
coatings and
general impurities.

Due to the high temperatures during the welding process these substances form through different physical and/or chemical processes:

Evaporation,
condensation,
oxidation,
corrosion,
pyrolysis and
burning.

Particles which develop during welding are exclusively alveolar, that means they penetrate even the smallest pulmonary alveoles and are generally known as "welding fume". Substances which develop during welding have got different effects on the human body; iron oxide, for example, can lead to increased stress on the lungs. Another negative effect may even be obstructive bronchitis or siderosis. General health hazards are:

Stress on pulmonary function
deposit of dust in the lungs
siderosis
aluminosis

Protective measurements and air filtration

Effective air filtration and cleaning is the only possibility to remove contaminants out of the respiratory aera of a welder and the workshop as a whole. Furthermore, facilities and workshops are protected against pollution of welding fume particles, which very often form a greasy layer on surfaces.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous Industrial Applications

Many industrial applications cause air pollution, which does not only pose technical problems (e. g. exhaustion of flour) but also health problems (e. g. flour-related pulmonary disfunctions). Very often, hazard risks add up due to different contaminants in the air.

Not only in these cases it may be mandatory (and demanded by law) to install air cleaning equipment and execute (if not already happend) a risk assessment analysis together with the determination of maximum permissible workplace concentrations. We will be glad to assist you in executing such assessments and recommending the right air cleaning solution for you. We are specializing in plant construction and easy-to-install solutions. Since 1983.
