Wood Working involves many kinds of processes such as cutting, sanding, drilling, banding etc. These processes generates large amount of wood dusts. Very fine particles of wood dust will be generated and efficient handling of these dust particles is highly important for ensuring the safety of the employees. By extraction of wood working dust, workplace environment will be improved and eventually productivity will also be increased. More over the extracted wood dust particles .

Woodworking, involving everything from small hand tools to large CNCs, whether cutting, sanding, planning, edge banding, dowel drilling, and so on, can create large amounts of wood dust. To handle these various applications safely and efficiently, APZEM has developed a wide range of products and systems including dust collectors, piping / ducting, fans, conveyors, silos and automated control systems. These systems make it possible for customers to not only achieve a good working environment, but also recycle wood waste, which can represent a large economic value. Another hazard associated with wood working is combustible dust. Wood waste can profitably be recycled into new material (i.e. MDF-board) or into energy if used as bio-fuel. Well designed and efficient wood waste handling installations have become a major part of the woodworking industry.

Soldering enables the joining of metal parts by melting a filler metal to attach wires and other metallic components. The fumes generated from melting solder especially solder containing Lead or Tin present are dangerous and require local ventilation to remove harmful smoke from the work area. Soldering application need to be properly ventilated to prevent toxic fumes from reaching the worker’s breathing zone.

There are a number of different industries such as the electronics assembly industry and electronics repair companies who must deal with the hazards of solder smoke. Fumes created by automated PCB soldering including wave soldering machines, handheld soldering irons, torch brazing and furnace brazing are often ignored because of the small volume of smoke generated. However, these applications still require careful consideration as dangerous fumes can impair employee’s respiratory tracts depending on the filler metals used.

Because manual soldering applications require working with tiny components, workers end up positioning their heads right above toxic rosin or lead solder fumes with a direct exposure into their throat, nasal passages and lungs, and as a result, they can experience respiratory complications. Rosin irritation can cause various side effects and the inhalation of lead fumes is carcinogenic. As lead oxide smoke collects in your lungs, it can be transferred into your bloodstream.
