How to Eliminate Pollutants from Thermal Sheet Metal Cutting with Tama Aernova's Horizontal Cartridge Filter

Discover how to eliminate thermal sheet metal cutting pollutants with Tama Aernova's horizontal cartridge filter. Maximum efficiency, ATEX compliance and lower maintenance costs for a cleaner and safer working environment.

In the metalworking industry, the build-up of fine particulate matter and cutting residues can reduce productivity, compromise product quality, and threaten the safety of working environments. During thermal cutting, fumes, and gases, along with microscopic metal particles and slag, leak into production spaces, settling on machinery and surfaces. This contamination not only introduces health hazards to operators but also affects the precision of processing and the reliability of equipment. In fact, the accumulation of this pollutant on mechanical components in high-temperature cutting processes generates friction, accelerated wear, and malfunctions. This can lead to unplanned downtime, increase maintenance costs, and reduce the useful life of production equipment. An efficient industrial filtration system is therefore essential to ensure reliability and safety.

Becky Srl and the Challenge of Industrial Filtration in Thermal Cutting Processes

Becky Srl, a specialist in producing plasma, laser, and oxyfuel cutting equipment, sought an effective solution to meet customer needs. The challenge was even more complex in ATEX environments, where certified filtration became essential. To ensure a safe and efficient alternative, Becky Srl needed to integrate its cutting equipment with a vacuum solution capable of:

  • Effectively extract fine particulate matter generated during the cutting process and other metalworking operations, reducing residue accumulation in critical areas.
  • Maintain operating conditions, limit premature wear of mechanical components, and prevent malfunctions due to dust contamination.
  • Optimize maintenance costs, by reducing the need for extraordinary interventions and extending the service life of production facilities.
  • Ensure compliance with ATEX regulations, by enabling certified filtration solutions designed to operate in environments with a risk of explosion from the presence of combustible dust.

Becky srl had therefore to propose to its customers a high-performance industrial suction system capable of ensuring their competitiveness, production reliability, and operational safety.
