Air purification plays a crucial role in foundries, where the processes often generate a number of harmful particles and chemical substances. Dust and micro-particles from sand, metal oxides and additives used in the molding process can cause serious health problems such as silicosis, COPD and even cancer. In addition, melting and casting metal releases hazardous gases and fumes, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds, which can cause both acute and chronic health problems. High temperatures during melting release fumes that may contain toxic metal particles, such as chromium and nickel, which is particularly dangerous in foundries that handle alloys.

With effective air purification, harmful particles, smoke and gases in the air are minimized, which improves both the safety of the work area and makes the work environment healthier for the staff. Clean air also protects the foundry’s equipment and premises. Dust and particles can damage production equipment, leading to wear, clogging and higher maintenance costs. Without air purification, the ventilation system can quickly fill with dirt and particles, reducing its efficiency and increasing operating costs. Dust and particles can also settle on surfaces and lead to corrosion or damage to building structures.
