In PVC and aluminum components’ supply chain as profiles, windows or fixtures, the presence of fine dust and shavings from processing is almost inevitable. When dust and shavings hoards are not handled in an appropriate manner the efficiency of machinery and production processes may be affected, leading in some cases to serious risks of explosion. Especially in presence of fine particles of aluminum the risk of explosion becomes extremely high and is commensurate with the fineness of the particles: when the size of aluminum particles is less than 100micron the powder burns easily and can become the source of ignition in an area with risk of explosion (ATEX zones). For these reasons it is necessary to take precautions in the engineering phase of equipment, providing systems for continuous removal of aluminum powdersduring processes directly on the machine, especially on miter saws and CNC machining centers:
The continuous suction of chips and dust on board of saws, CNC machinery and other processing machinery is an essential factor maintaining the highest safety and quality of product in PVC, aluminum and other plastic materials’ supply chain.
