Optimized Dust and Fume Control Solutions for the Rubber Industry
The rubber industry faces unique challenges when it comes to dust and fume control. Dynavac offers a comprehensive suite of solutions specifically designed to address these concerns and create a safer, healthier, and more efficient work environment.
Understanding Rubber Dust and Fume:
- Rubber Process Dust: This arises from handling, weighing, and mixing uncured rubber ingredients.
- Rubber Fume: This originates from mixing, milling, blending, vulcanization and devulcanization activities.
Exposure Risks and Regulations:
- Exposure to dust and fumes can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.
- Workplace exposure limits exist for individual chemicals present in rubber processes.
- COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations require employers to assess risks, implement control measures, and comply with other COSHH requirements.
Dynavac’s Control Strategies:
