Video Case Study: Capturing Welding Fume/Smoke at Toyo Seat USA

How does an award winning automotive seating manufacturer solve weld fumes issues while not interfering with a streamline production and improve mobility?

Frequent required movement, rearrangement and set up of numerous robotic weld cells could be needed during some production processes.  As the years passed, issues started to arise.  Each weld cell was equipped with a dust collector mounted on top of it increasing the chance of sparks entering the collector as well as creating maintenance issues, and making mobility a challenge.

You can find out how the problems were solved and mobility increased by installing a complete newly designed dust collection system.

Case Study: Dust Collection in Plasma and Wire Spray Operations

Read about one company in Atlanta, GA that was experiencing problems collecting metal dusts from a plasma and wire spray operation that produces metal coatings for rolls used in the printing industry - and how switching to the right type of cartridge dust collector reduced downtime and disposal costs.

This type of application can be very challenging. Various types of wires made of 316 stainless steel, Monel® alloy, zinc, and other materials are fed into the spray gun two at a time. The wire spray gun is fed with a compressed air line. The compressed air blows through these wires as they cross, creating an arc that blasts the wire onto the roll to form the coating. The wire spray is very fine, mostly submicron particulate and is inconsistent in shape, causing a difficult challenge for the dust collector.
