Chemical manufacturers create the adhesives, foams, plastics and other raw materials that are used to make most consumable products. Many use batch mixing and other processes that create dangerous dusts. When operators handle these materials or\u00a0convey or dump them into processing equipment, the dust becomes airborne and endangers air quality.<\/p>\n

Airborne chemical dusts can be hazardous to workers, equipment, manufacturing plants, and the environment. They can be toxic as well as combustible. In addition, airborne dusts can cross-contaminate products, putting the end users of those products at risk and exposing manufacturers to liabilities.<\/p>\n

Industrial Dust Collectors Contain Dangerous Chemical Dusts<\/strong><\/p>\n

OSHA recommends that facilities maintain workplace air quality through \u201cengineering and work practice controls\u201d where feasible. Dust collection systems are the most cost-effective way to improve air quality in a chemical manufacturing or processing facility. They work around the clock, using advanced filtration technology to safely capture and contain airborne dust and contaminants.<\/p>\n

Camfil APC\u2019s premium-quality dust collectors cost-effectively collect many types of chemical dust, including toxic dusts, combustible dusts, cross contaminant dusts, and nuisance dust. They ensure that all employees can work safely in facilities where toxic chemical dusts\u00a0are present. They:<\/p>\n
