Dust generation is an unavoidable hazard in the construction industry. Finding ways to suppress dust is essential for personnel health and reducing downtime risks.

The accumulation of dust in the air and on the surface is not only a potential fire hazard, but also a risk of equipment damage, and its short-term and long-term impact on workers cannot be underestimated. In fact, the United Kingdom’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other agencies have implemented strict workplace exposure restrictions (WEL) on wood chips and other hazards. The reason is that carpenters and joiners are four times more likely to suffer from asthma than other British workers.

Keeping wood chips at a safe level requires the installation of dust removal or local exhaust ventilation solutions on woodworking machines to capture and remove dust before it spreads. Plywood production and dust emission

For example, plywood is made by compressing thin layers of wood glued together with an adhesive. It is a versatile material that can be used in applications such as flooring, furniture, and paneling. For a new plywood production facility in western Russia, the production of this material faces many challenges, especially in finding effective filtration solutions.

The production of plywood produces airborne dust particles composed of long-fiber wood chips and wood chips. In all stages of production, dust is generated and dispersed in the air in large quantities, including when cutting logs and removing bark, as well as when grinding and cutting plywood.

In addition to the hazards caused by the dust itself, there is also the risk of toxic pollutants. During the drying process of veneer, organic compounds such as methanol are released. When veneers are glued and pressed at high temperatures to produce plywood, more pollutants are released, and the plywood releases pollutants such as formaldehyde.

For this new company, planners of manufacturing facilities need to integrate effective and robust filters to handle long fiber particles and high air flow. They need to ensure that the filtration solution they choose can provide high separation efficiency despite increased dust load exposure and no frequent maintenance. solution

The filtration specialist Delbag has extensive experience in handling a wide range of projects with similar requirements.

Delbag can easily provide a modular configuration filter fixing unit for a clean filter cartridge (CFC) equipped with HL12.5 air filter plates. In order to improve the filtration performance, the filter plate was installed twice on the CFC bracket.

HL12.5 filter plate is composed of multi-layer metal mesh composite mesh. Because of its dense mesh structure, it is very suitable for processing fibrous coarse dust. In addition, the boards are covered with dust adhesive, so their high dust holding capacity ensures that they are an effective solution for the new plywood factory in Russia. Because it is both robust and effective, the company can continue to rely on Delbag filtration solutions without having to suspend production due to short maintenance intervals.
