Hosokawa Micron Ltd announces the launch of a new range of clean air technology Fettling Booths for use in applications in engineering, aerospace, automotive and metal working industries. Designed to reduce operator exposure to potentially harmful fettling dust, polishing dust and swarf created in production of painted and non-painted metal parts or panels, the booths create a safe working environment for operators undertaking polishing, drilling or filing activities where airborne particles are generated.
There are two types of booth available; the mobile Fettling Trolley or the static Fettling Bench. The designs incorporate rear extract filter plenums which allow a horizontal air flow to extract airborne particles away from the operators breathing zone.
Mobile Fettling Trolley
The 'plug and play' back-draft extracted booth incorporates a two stage filtration system comprising of replaceable panel filter and HEPA filter to H13 grade standard. HEPA filtered air is discharged into the factory working area. Constantly monitored by alarm activating pressure gauges, a high performance extraction fan ensures a reliable air flow through the booth, even when the filter cells are dirty, maintaining a safe working environment for operators.
Complete with lighting and an integrated Type H vacuum cleaner for the safe removal of swarf or larger filings the wheeled Hosokawa Micron Fettling Trolley is easily transportable around the workshop.
Static Fettling Bench
Mounted to a fixed point in the workshop the Static Fettling Bench ducts exhaust to a remotely located reverse jet pulse or shaker filter with dust collection in a sealed bin for easy disposal. Air from the booth is extracted through an H13 grade standard filter. HEPA filtered air is discharged into the atmosphere. Units can be supplied with explosion relief panel (if needed).
