Plymovent has a strong focus on innovative product development, by developing solutions for clean air at work that are ahead of the curve or add more bang for the buck.
To achieve this, we are continuously working on the growth of our in-house product development capabilities, both on mechanical and electronic levels. For the latter, Plymovent has invested in an in-house EMC test room, that enables our electronics engineers to perform a full set of tests on circuit board prototypes and test models.
EMC is an umbrella term for a set of regulations and standards which describe tests and procedures on how to measure and determine the amount of radiation a product may emit, and the amount that it should be able to withstand. Compliance with EMC regulations is not a nice to have, but a mandatory part of the CE marking requirements.
Lead Electronics Engineer Marcel de Blok: “By having this in house EMC test facility, Plymovent reduces product development cycle times, increases the speed of the learning process and therefore significantly shortens its time to market for innovative product development. This strengthens our position in creating better and more meaningful products for our customers”.
Last year, leading US firefighter advocate Billy Goldfeder wrote an article on the importance of having compatible systems among fire departments with automatic or mutual aid agreements:
Welders must be protected against hazardous welding fumes. Depending on the welding environment or how and what is welded, welders can be protected by systems for source extraction and general filtration and ventilation. Also, they can be protected by respiratory protective equipment (RPE), such as welding helmets with fresh air supply. Supplied air respirators are known to provide the best all-around protection for the welders themselves
Nowadays, everybody knows that welding fumes are very dangerous and that all kinds of protective measures should be taken and respected during work. In other blogs on this site, you can read more about those dangers and risks. But is everybody really aware of the importance of those protective measures such as PPE and local exhaust ventilation? The answers of welders themselves are surprising…
