Mechanical metal working

Metal fine particulates reliably separated

Highly efficient filtration is essential in the mechanical processing of metals and the resulting emissions. Especially, the occurring fine particulates pose increased risks for the health of the operating personnel. In addition, the contamination of processing machines, workplaces and the product to be processed causes considerable impairments and potentially high costs.

The Herding® Sinter-Plate Filters base on pure surface filtration and combine very high separation efficiency with unparalleled durability. It thus meets the high demands on the filter technology used in this field and sets equal standards compared to conventional filter media. In combination with an effective dust collection, humans, machine and the surroundings are protected sustainably from harmful emissions. Along with the enormously high service life of more than 15 years, depending on the process, Herding® filter media generate absolutely constant operating conditions and thus makes a valuable contribution to work safety and environmental protection.

Reliable filtration during metal working processes

The manifold characteristics of the emissions from mechanical metal processing essentially depend on the respective machining process. In addition, the processing of e.g. normal steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised sheet metal and cast materials can generate flammable and/or explosible dusts. Furthermore, combinations of different material pose the risk of chemical reactions inside the filter unit.

Proven option packages of Herding filter systems are available to set up an optimum system configuration to provide separation at constant operating conditions in all types of mechanical metal processing. Highly effective spark arrestors specifically scaled to the air flow can be integrated in the units. This warrants without restrictions the reliable separation of existing sparks as well as fine particulates.
