Dust and fume extraction solutions for the automotive industry
At APS UK LTD, we’ve spent years working with those operating within the automotive industry to provide high quality dust and fume extraction systems.
In the automotive industry, processes like cutting, shaping, welding, and finishing can generate potentially toxic fumes and airborne dust. Exposure to these airborne particles can lead to respiratory problems and long term health issues for workers.
As well as the production of vehicle parts, processes such as the manufacture of things like car cleaning products use chemicals which generate various airborne contaminants.
Our expertise in air pollution control means we’ve been able to develop bespoke Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems for our customers, which take into account factors such as airflow dynamics, chemical characteristics, and operator safety.
High-efficiency filtration systems are integrated into LEV systems to effectively capture, contain, and remove contaminants, helping to safeguard worker health.
These systems help automotive industry businesses to meet important regulations such as Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR).
Examples of Dust and Fume Projects for the Automotive Industry
Case Study: Car Cleaning Product Manufacturer
APS was approached by a prominent manufacturer of cleaning products for the automotive industry, which was in the process of building a new facility aimed at automating the mixing of diverse chemicals to produce its cleaning solutions.
The client needed a customised LEV system for each part of its production process, to effectively capture and remove contaminants, ensuring adherence to strict regulatory requirements.
APS developed bespoke LEV systems, considering factors such as airflow dynamics, chemical characteristics, and operator safety.
