Challenge
General Electric was facing a significant safety concern during the boring stage of production. Large quantities of metal dust were being generated, posing a health hazard to employees and potentially compromising the operational efficiency of the environment.
Solution
To address this, our team designed and implemented a tailored dust filtration system that would drastically reduce the dust exposure in the production zone. A large enclosure with strategically placed vacuum filtration points was installed. This setup not only eliminated the maintenance issues caused by dust buildup but also enhanced environmental control throughout the facility.
By filtering and recirculating the air within the facility, we maintained air quality, ensuring that clean air was distributed to surrounding areas. Additionally, a negative pressure environment was sustained within the production zone, preventing dust particles from migrating to other parts of the plant.
