Industry solution · Metal Processing
Low-maintenance, energy-saving extraction for metalworking fume and dust
Fume, dust and odour extraction — steady extraction, noise and vibration control, fewer failures.
Dust-tolerant dutyNoise and vibration controlLow maintenance
Process & Pain Points
Where the fan sits in your system
Typical scenario: Pickling-line exhaust, welding fume capture, grinding dust extraction, oil-mist filtration duty
Metalworking sites are heavy with dust and oil mist, and in that environment the belts and bearings of a conventional fan wear faster still. Workshops are sensitive to noise, yet vibration and noise from ageing fans tend to get worse year on year as wear progresses.
Dust accelerates belt and bearing wear
Loud, vibrating fans make for a poor working environment
Work is intermittent but the fan runs constantly, wasting energy
Faults are discovered only after they happen, disrupting scheduling
Capture hood → Ductwork → Treatment unit → Fan → Stack (supply boundary per proposal)
Recommended Solution
Solution outline (final configuration subject to site survey)
There is no “one-size-fits-all model” — different conditions mean different configurations. Below is the selection framework for Metal Processing duty.
Model
Direct-drive construction with fewer wear parts, matched to extraction systems with pre-filtration
Control strategy
Start/stop and speed linked to workstation activity, with automatic turndown when idle
Noise and vibration
Full-unit dynamic balancing plus anti-vibration mounting to improve the acoustic environment
O&M onboarding
Vibration and temperature trends monitored, with early warning as wear develops
Expected Value
Four kinds of value, subject to site assessment and measurement
Energy
Runs on demand under intermittent duty, cutting idle-running consumption
Reliability
Fewer sudden failures of the belt-breakage kind
Maintenance
Fewer wear parts, with maintenance planned from data
Management
One dashboard across multiple workshops
