In the aluminum surface and coating manufacturing industry, effective waste and dust management is a crucial issue. Machining operations generate fine dust, toxic residues and abrasive materials that can pose a serious risk to both the health of operators and the environment. To maintain a safe and productive work environment, the adoption of reliable industrial vacuuming solutions is essential.

What are the wastes produced by the processing of metal surfaces

Companies engaged in the processing of metal surfaces and coatings face different types of waste generated by various processes such as sandblasting, polishing, grinding, and chemical treatments. These processes improve the surface characteristics of metals, but produce a wide range of waste, including:

• Fine metal powders: produced during sandblasting and grinding.
• Abrasive residues: such as silica sand or corundum used to sandblast or polish surfaces;
• Toxic particles: generated in painting processes or chemical treatments with hazardous substances;
• Oils and coolants: used to lubricate and cool machines.

If not handled properly, these waste materials can endanger the health of operators and contaminate the work environment. An effective vacuum system is therefore essential to properly collect and dispose of these wastes, ensuring a safer and cleaner working environment.

To meet these needs, the company has adopted RIBO VS line of industrial vacuum cleaners.
