If you’re in the steel welding industry, you should be concerned about the dangers associated with the processes involved. Whether it is the welder, or anyone else who works within the premises where the welding process takes place, each one can be affected by the hazardous gases produced when the metal is welded. The harmful gases can be produced directly from the structural steel, and also by chemical reactions from the air. Structural steel – The pros and cons Structural steel is a low-carbon, non-alloyed or low-alloyed steel that is not heat-treated, or only partially treated. This type of steel is used in construction, bridge building, mechanical engineering, ship building, and other such constructional industries. The reason behind such wide usage of structural steel is its mechanical strength, toughness, durability, and affordability. However, despite all these benefits, one must be careful while working with the metal because the side-effects of welding such a metal remain q...

A variety of machining processes that use metalworking fluids generate airborne mists, which can be harmful. If left unchecked, these mists can create a dangerous work environment that can result in serious health problems for workers. This is why these mists need to be controlled by facility operators. One best solution to keep your space safe, and your business in regulatory compliance, is a high-efficiency  mist collection system . But, before you purchase an oil mist collector, it is important to consider a few critical aspects, some of them being – The kind of machining processes being used What kind of machining processes are you conducting? High-speed and high-pressure applications include cutting, grinding, and drilling; while low-speed and low-pressure processes include milling, turning, and honing. The type of fluid being used What type of metalworking fluid are you using – coolant or oil? Coolants are water-soluble concentrates that provide lubrication, while oil co...

Industrial processes like machining, grinding, and milling produce oil mist when fluids come in contact with tooling components, and become dispersed throughout the air. Such oil mist not only affects the machine parts, but also impacts the health of the workers and others in the premises. To resolve all such issues, mist collectors are used. Mist collectors ensure overall shop safety and employee health, while also reducing maintenance and downtime. Oil mist collectors ensure overall shop safety Even in enclosed machines, oil mist can escape when opening the door, while loading raw materials and removing finished parts. This escaped oil mist can land on nearby surfaces like walls, floors, counters, and lighting. This increases the need for housekeeping, as it causes cleanliness concerns and slipping hazards. And, if there is any kind of fire or spark around, it can also result in creating a fire hazard. Oil mist collectors ensure employee health When oil mist touches the skin, it...
