Reduce air pollution in the automotive industry

Reduce illnesses

Prevent an excessive amount of dangerous welding fumes entering the human body is essential for you and your colleagues. Taking care of them by providing clean air at work will ensure a healthier and saver workspace.

Reduce pollutants

Welding fumes in your facility can have a negative impact on equipment, such as forcing downtime and additional cleaning costs. By offering an effective extraction system these side-effects will be limited.

Be compliant

It is important to keep workplace exposure of welding fumes below the legal limits, even in peak-times. This is what you have to take into account.

The automotive industry is one of the largest and most important economic sectors worldwide.

Today’s demands in the automotive industry are much greater than ever before. For example, vehicles are graded on stricter and more precise parameters, from weight to safety to durability. In addition automotive manufacturers and suppliers have to respond to greater demands within their production facilities, to provide a safer, healthier and more environmentally-friendly workplace.

To ensure a pleasant workplace for your personnel and to be code compliant in the automotive industry you need to control welding, cutting, grinding fumes, (oil) mist and smoke. We offer various solutions that keep workplace exposure to welding and laser cutting fumes within legal limits, in accordance with international guidelines.

Reduce illnesses

Preventing oil mist entering the human body (respiratory problems) or settle everywhere in the factory (slippery floors) is essential for you and your colleagues. By providing clean air at work you will ensure a healthier and saver workspace.

Reduce pollutants

Oil mist in your facility can have a negative impact on equipment, such as forcing downtime and additional cleaning costs. Using an effective extraction system these side-effects will be limited.

Be compliant

It is important to keep workplace exposure of oil mist below acceptable limits, even in peak-times.

The automotive industry is one of the largest and most important economic sectors worldwide. During the fabrication of tools and components for this industry, many different metalworking processes are taking place, such as milling, drilling, honing, casting, grinding, heat treatment and cold forming. During these metalworking processes various oil and emulsions are used to cool or lubricate the metal components. If these metalworking fluids get airborne, an aerosol forms. This oil mist causes slippery floors and work surfaces and can have negative health effects. In addition, these fine droplets can affect the electrical equipment in the facility.

Plymovent offers various solutions to remove the oil mist in the automotive industry.

Reduce pollutants

Pollution in your facility can have a negative impact on equipment, such as forcing downtime and resulting in additional cleaning costs.

Be compliant

It is important to keep workplace exposure below the legal limits, even in peak-times.

In the automotive industry exposure to hazardous vehicle exhaust emissions can cause serious health problems for your mechanics and other personnel. The most efficient way to combat that exposure is to capture the exhaust fumes at the source and eliminate contact with harmful pollutants like diesel fumes and benzene. Proper ventilation and prevention must be assured in your facility.

High-quality exhaust removal systems are recommended to make sure that legal exposure limits are not exceeded in your facility. Plymovent offers various systems that capture, extract and remove gas and diesel exhaust emissions, creating a cleaner and healthier work environment for your personnel. From existing, to new facilities, our range of vehicle exhaust extraction products and system solutions covers it all.

New Diesel Engine Technology and Ultrafine Particles

11 Jan 2019 Health risks

Over the years, modern diesel engines have become cleaner. Or in other words: they have become less pollutable and emit less hazardous fumes. Diesel engines even emit less carbon dioxide than gasoline engines and many diesel engine manufacturers claim that most of the harm of diesel exhaust has been reduced.

Hazards due to diesel fumes are still insufficiently prevented

17 Oct 2017 Health risks

In workplaces such as garages, bus depots and warehouses there is a lot of pollution, caused by diesel engines. The engines produce toxic gases and particulates, that can cause serious health risks and legal liability. Although it is well known that fumes are toxic and protective measures should be taken, that isn’t always done.
