Any industrial work application that includes grinding and deburring is going to create dust that requires immediate filtration. Whether it is an angle grinder, die grinder or an automated grinding machine, dust and particles will pollute your workplace unless they are captured and filtered at the source.

The dust produced by workplace grinding applications produces a range of health effects, mostly centered in the lungs. A condition known as pneumoconiosis or “dusty lung” affects many workers that don’t have access to proper filtration and ventilation. The result is scar tissue build up in the lining of the lungs that contributes to serious, chronic lung problems.

The key is to remove dust and particulate before it reaches the breathing zone of nearby workers. Depending on the nature of the work application, grinding and deburring can create airborne metal, composite, rubber or fiberglass dust that is particularly dangerous to inhale.

We offer filtering and ventilation equipment such as downdraft tables and dust collectors that will capture the dust as you produce it, then filter and remove it from harm’s way. All of our dust filtration and ventilation products meet required regulatory guidelines, and our expert team is always ready to provide information and help guide you in the right direction.

Electro-Coating’s success of chromium plating – also known as hard chrome plating, engineered chrome plating, or industrial chrome plating in Industrial applications is attributed to its unique combination of multiple properties and benefits not possessed by any other one material available commercially. In many instances all these properties are important for successful commercial applications. The properties of chromium are most desirable as metal coatings due to their inherent protective and decorative characteristics. Chromium deposits with excellent adhesion to a variety of base metals. It has a pleasing bluish-white color and is highly resistant to oxidation or tarnishing, contributing to its popularity as a decorative coating. In addition, hardness, wear resistance and low co-efficient of friction are the properties that make chromium of value in practically every major industry. When identified as industrial hard chrome, it is differentiated from decorative applications, and is primarily applied to a substrate material for the purpose of wear resistance.

The electrolytic deposition of chromium to the surfaces of other materials, primarily metals, occurs when electrical energy supplied to electrodes in a solution consisting primarily of chromic acid is converted to chemical energy to produce chromium metal.Frequently, when expensive machined parts are damaged or worn and no longer functional, hard chrome plating can be used to build up the lost metal and the parts can then be ground to their original tolerances. In many cases the wear life will have improved.

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.
