Attention to Process-Generated Dust in Industrial Facilities

HIFYBER, operating under Abalıoğlu Holding, explained that harmful dust particles generated from industrial facility processes, typically smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter, can cause respiratory tract infections, asthma, heart disease, and even lung cancer. Air pollution ranks among the major problems of our time. Emissions in the form of smoke, dust, gas, vapour and aerosol, particularly resulting from industrial facility operations, directly threaten the environment and human health.

Industrial dust threatens worker health

In food, pharmaceutical, plastics, wood, packaging, metal processing, ceramics, rubber production, paper manufacturing, cement and steel production facilities, dust particles generated from processes, typically smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter, can cause respiratory tract infections, asthma, heart disease, and even lung cancer. To combat this situation, dusty air in industrial facilities must be captured at source using "dust collection systems," filtered, and then released to the environment before workers have the opportunity to inhale it. In this way, a definitive solution is provided against pollutants that negatively affect worker health and performance, and a comfortable and safe working environment can be created.

Effective solution through "proper filtration"

HIFYBER, supplying high-efficiency "filtration media" for air filters in dust collection systems, shared information on the importance of filtration efficiency of air filters used in dust collection systems. "The filtration efficiency of filters used in dust collection systems in industrial facilities directly impacts facility hygiene, worker health and safety, production efficiency and product quality," said HIFYBER General Manager Ahmet ÖZBECETEK, continuing as follows: "In dust collection systems comprising a blower, dust filter, filter cleaning system, dust hopper and dust disposal system, it is vital that the 'air filters' used have high efficiency particle retention capability. As HIFYBER, we manufacture filter fabric developed for the air filters of dust collection systems through coating applied on blend papers. In this way, we enable dust collection systems in industrial facilities to easily filter particles smaller than 1 micron, providing healthy and safe working environments.

Eliminates explosion risk

Filters that clean indoor air in industrial facilities must also absorb electrostatic charges present in the environment, eliminating explosion and spark risk. Along with high indoor air quality with HIFYBER filter media, we also provide FR (Flame Retardant) properties. This makes it possible for operations to create healthy and safe working environments," he said.

Reduces maintenance costs

In his remarks, Ahmet ÖZBECETEK stated that with HIFYBER filter media possessing high strength, they provide long-term filtration efficiency, thereby also reducing maintenance costs in dust collection systems. HIFYBER continues to provide safe conditioning and high "indoor air quality" through filter media solutions with virus and bacteria spreading prevention properties in dust collection systems, gas turbines, air conditioning systems and vehicle cabin air filters.
