Why Are Industrial Filtration Systems Important for Manufacturing?
February 21, 2023
An industrial air filtration system is used to clean up air quality, protect employees and equipment, and filter out specific desired contaminants from the air stream. It is vital to maintaining a manufacturing facility in pharmaceuticals, essential oils, food & drink processing, chemical manufacturing and blending, power generation, and other industries.
This is achieved by proper selection of vapor phase activated carbon vessels as well as desiccant beds and molecular sieve filtration.
Here are five critical reasons you need to pay special attention to the quality and maintenance of your industrial filtration systems.
Protects and Extends the Usable Life of Equipment
Industrial filtration systems remove contaminants to purify air and gas streams. This helps to remove extra moisture and dust particulates before they reach the moving parts of your equipment. Specialized filters can also remove dangerous aerosols and vapors before they lead to vacuum pump failure.
Ensures the Purity and Quality of Your Products
Industrial filtration systems keep mold, dust, extra moisture, and cross contaminants from polluting your products. This helps ensure that the product retains its quality throughout the production process. More importantly, it helps prevent costly waste, recalls, and disposal due to a contaminated batch.
Improves Workplace Safety and Employee Productivity
An EPA air quality study revealed that indoor air tends to be 2-5x more polluted than outdoor air. There is also the concern about oils and toxic contaminants coating work surfaces, which can increase the risk of falls, chemical exposure, and other risks.
Additionally, a safe and clean workplace improves employee productivity and retention. A workplace wellness study revealed that 31% of employees lose an hour or more of productivity daily from poor air quality and environmental factors. That’s not counting when they need to sit on standby while machines on their production line are being repaired.
The same study also revealed that 7 of 10 employees are more likely to accept a job offer or keep their current job if the workplace supports their wellness and safety. According to a 2019 Glassdoor Study, it takes an average of $4,000 and 24 days to train a new employee, so retaining top talent is vital. This makes industrial filtration of your manufacturing facility an essential investment.
Improves Brand Image With Visitors
On top of keeping the workplace safe, it also improves the appearance of the facility when auditors, inspectors, and investors visit. Clean air quality and surfaces can help with that critical initial impression of a high-quality manufacturer.
Lowers Production Costs
Dusty, oily, and contaminated machines must work harder to get the job done. Industrial filtration systems lower production costs by:
● Reducing the need for repairs and replacements
● Production lines are shut down less for repairs
● Machines are less reliant on HVAC systems, reducing energy costs
● Some filtration systems can pull and recycle desirable products from the air stream for greater efficiency.
● Reduces the cost of removing contaminants for safe disposal
Conclusion
Industrial Filtration Systems do more than keep a machine running smoothly. They are vital tools affecting productivity, product quality, and effective waste disposal. They are a critical investment that affects every part of the production process.
