HT LASER
Work in the metal industry is perceived as physically heavy and dirty. Lappeenranta‘s Site Manager, Anna Fellman, says:
"With clean indoor air, we make sure that dangerous small particles are not circulating to breathing air and that our employees stay healthy."
We have known for a long time that HEPA filtration is the only adequate way to protect employees, Fellman continues.
HT Laser offers cutting, edging, welding (laser and laser hybrid welding, MIG / MAG and TIG welding), machining, 3D metal printing, surface treatment, assembly and product development services.
The company operates in eight locations in Finland and in Poznan, Poland, employing approximately 400 people. In 2020, the company‘s turnover was EUR 61 million.
We require the use of fresh air masks when welding or grinding. In addition, we emphasize hygiene factors, such as hand hygiene, in preventing exposure. It is our duty as an employer to make sure that employees get home healthy every day." - Anna Fellman
Camfil‘s dust extraction systems were chosen as the solution. The Keuruu site has used Camfil‘s solutions equipped with HEPA filtration for a long time, so the choice was easy for Lappeenranta as well.
First, a suction duct system was installed.
Second, Camfil delivered six CamCleaner 6000 air purifiers to the welding plant, which circulate the hall air, filtering it to HEPA level. In addition, Air Image Sensor systems were introduced for air quality monitoring and automatic speed control of air purifiers.

Camfil‘s dust management systems are an excellent solution for industrial environments. Equipment that uses certified HEPA filters remove even the smallest dust particles. Molecular filtration can be added, if necessary.

Camfil‘s solutions are designed to complement the ventilation system to protect workers, products and processes. At the same time, they also reduce energy consumption.
