98 4 1 AERSERVICE FORNISCE PRODOTTI E SOLUZIONI TENENDO CONTO DI RIFERIMENTI NORMATIVI NAZIONALI E INTERNAZIONALI APPLICATIONS The ICAF trolley-mounted air cleaner is the ideal solution for suction and filtration of welding fumes and fumes from occasional manual thermal cutting and the adsorption of low concentrations of substances such as: gas, oil-free vapour, odour produced by various applications in the industrial and chemicals sectors. The high quantity, quality, and lifetime of the activated carbon sections employed (total of 40 kg of carbon media) function EFFICIENCYly with the various gaseous pollutants and make this air cleaner, which was originally designed in the early 1980s, absolutely unique and still very much in demand for severe duty conditions in which the large filtration surface area and the high performance extend the range of application to include the sectors of welding and Mechanical engineering and chemical processing on microparticulates and gases. National and international regulations allow the use of these devices in replacement of conventional air cleaners with an articulated arm in special situations such as occasional or discontinuous use (e.g. 20 hours out of a 40 hour working week) or in situations in which the work processes are dynamic to the point at which a fixed capture system is ineffective. In addition, filtration unit also purifies the air in the surrounding environment, so not only treating the area contaminated by the work process but simultaneously creating air exchange in the workplace and further decreasing the level of pollutants present. To comply with regulations and to obtain high quality filtration with consequent safety for the operator, it is essential to perform correct maintenance/periodic replacement of the filters, which, in our units, provide high capacity for accumulation of contaminants and very low costs for spare parts of the filtration section. WELDING AND FINISHING AREA SHEET METAL WORKING SHOP AERSERVICE SUPPLIES PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS TAKING ACCOUNT OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NORMATIVE REFERENCES OPERATOR SAFETY Pollutants deriving from industrial and small workshop processes must be captured as close as possible to the point of release and routed to the exterior of the workplace. In the case of intermittent work processes however, such pollutants can be aspirated and filtered out of the air, which is subsequently returned to the workplace. In this case, in addition to the use of portable air cleaner systems the installation of ambient ventilation systems may be required. Italian decree D.Lgs. 81/2008 - 2006/15/EC TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED To guarantee and satisfy the applicable national and international standards and regulations, we make use of the best available technology, which, combined with superior technical know-how, results in the creation of safe products that are in compliance with the people responsible for using the equipment; for example, the speed of capture of the pollutant is never considered at less than 0.5 m/sec during the design stage (as required by the controlling authorities). ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT The filtration performance levels guaranteed are established in accordance with international specifications that limit the concentration levels of airborne pollutants for professional activities for which a repeatedly exposed worker does not suffer any form of health impairment. American Conference of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) – Italian decree D.M. 20/08/1999. National and international regulations are referred to the values specified by ACGIH.
