Increase production efficiency, reduce your environmental impact and keep your shop and workers safe. Our dust and fume collectors and air filters for metalworking work hard for you, so you can focus on getting the job done.
Depending on the industry, contamination from metalworking can include heavy dust levels, explosive dusts and molecular pollutants that are responsible for odour, corrosive reactions or toxic threat to operators and the environment. All of these require unique air filtration solutions that are purpose designed to provide high levels of long-term performance in potentially harsh operating conditions.
The metalworking industry can include aerospace, buffing, polishing, grinding, laser cutting, plasma cutting, machining, metallizing, paint spraying, shot blasting, silos, welding, thermal spraying and more. Capturing the dust, smoke, mist or fumes generated during metalworking processes can create a unique challenge. Often, floor space is at a premium.
Camfil is an expert in industrial dust, mist and fume collectors that stop pollutants from entering the workspace and outside air, creating safer and cleaner environments. By combining the use of guidelines with our in-field experience and state-of-the-art filtration, Camfil will correctly size a cost- and space-saving filtration system that is reliable, durable and easy to maintain. Let us help you put in a safe dust and fume collection system.
A well-designed and maintained dust and fume collection system prevents respiratory problems and keep facilities in compliance with current air quality requirements. It can thus help you to avoid potential long-term liability issues, too
Dry blasting is used to remove contaminants and irregularities from a metal surface to create a specific finish, prepare it for paints or coatings. Dust collectors are the most effect way to capture and collect the particles of abrasive media and contaminate that become airborne during the blasting process.
Thermal spraying is a technique where a material, in wire- or powder form, is being melted and transferred with high velocity to the surface of the substrate where it forms a protective coating. The emissions generated from these processes pose a health and safety risk to both operators and the environment.
There are different processes in a foundry such as metal casting, sand mold knock-out, grinding or fettling. These emissions are often hazardous to the health of operatives in the workplace and need to be captured and extracted in a controlled manner before they become airborne to reduce the risk of contamination and harm to the personnel.
Today's fiber laser tables generate molten metal, smoke and gases, which can pose breathing hazards to machine operators. Good ventilation and high quality filters help to prevent the inhalation of toxic airborne particles.
Plasma cutting is used for a variety of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum and copper. Plasma tables generate molten metal, smoke, and gases which can be breathing hazards for machine operators.
Industrial machining processes generate mist from cooling lubricants which have to be controlled before entering the ambient air. Mist separators extract the process air from the machine tools and separate the emissions from the air stream before returning the cleaned air back into the production or outside into the environment.
Many industries rely on electronic and electrical control equipment for safe and efficient operation. To avoid unscheduled breakdowns, the equipment must be protected from corrosion originating from chemicals used in their manufacturing processes.
Overexposure to weld fumes can cause a wide range of health problems. Metal dust particles cause eye irritation, upper respiratory irritation and frequent headaches. Capturing dust and fumes generated during welding presents a unique challenge.
During the painting process, good filtration is crucial for protecting workers from a wide range of particulate and other airborne contaminants being taken in from the paint booth.

Almost all industrial manufacturing, processing or packaging applications generate dust as a side effect. Many of these dusts are both combustible as well as explosive, and removing them from the work place can significantly reduce the risk of serious accidents. It is estimated that there are approximately 2,000 dust explosions in Europe annually. Most of these are minor but some are very destructive. So by extracting the dust, the risk in the production is reduced, but unless the extraction system is safe the risk is just moved.
Though tablet compression does not generate large volumes of fugitive dust, safe and efficient collection of whatever dust is created by this process is critical. The dust collector linked to the press can contribute to reliable, consistent performance – or detract from it, if components are not properly designed.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API´s) create a number of challenges for pharma manufacturers and their production processes. The API’s create very fine dusts and often high solvent concentrations during the product handling and manufacturing processes.
