In today’s case study, we will discuss the aspiration needs of a company specializing in the production of automatic product packaging lines and machines. This company, is involved in the manufacture of packaging machines for various sectors, including the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. During the production process, the company produces large amounts of fine dust. In this article, we will find out how RIBO industrial vacuum cleaners can meet these company-specific needs, improving the efficiency and safety of production processes.

What are the wastes produced by the company

Automatic product packaging machines perform several functions to prepare products for sale. These machines weigh, pack, and label products efficiently and accurately.

There are different types of packaging machines, including cartooning machines, tubing machines, cartooning machines, and tube and bottle machines. Each type of machine has its specific task in the packaging process.

During the production process of automatic machines, different types of waste can be generated, such as:

• Metal

Metal chips, scrap or defective parts may be produced during the machining of mechanical components of machines;

• Plastic

During the production process there may be molding waste, cuttings, or nonconforming products generated;

• Electronic

Automatic machines contain electronic components such as circuit boards, wiring harnesses, and sensors. Waste electronic components or circuit boards may be generated during assembly and wiring;

• Cardboard and paper

Cardboard or paper scraps may be produced during assembly and preparation for shipment of packaging machines to companies.

The presence of the wastes listed above causes the formation of dust, including very fine particles, which poses a challenge in terms of cleanliness and safety of the work area of the packaging machine company.

What are the vacuum needs

The vacuum needs of an automatic packaging machine company include several objectives to be met, including:

• Safeguarding the health of operators

The company must ensure the safety and health of its operators. Industrial vacuum cleaners are essential for removing dust, or other substances in the work environment. Through them, operators’ exposure to potentially harmful agents is reduced and a healthier work environment is created.

• Keep the work area properly clean and safe

A clean work environment is essential for productivity and safety. Industrial vacuum cleaners remove dust or other waste present on the floor or in other work areas. This prevents accidents that could be caused by dirty or slippery surfaces.

• Preventing machinery inefficiency

The presence of dust particles or debris in the air can cause damage to machinery and equipment used in the company. Industrial vacuum cleaners can capture these particles before they settle on surfaces and inside machinery, ensuring proper operation and durability of the equipment.

For the reasons just listed, the automatic packaging machine company chose to install the RIBO suction system from the VT line. This one, can be integrated into control units to suck up dust generated by waste from machine making.
