Reduce Oil Mist Health Hazards & Safety Risks
Leakage of oil mists and cutting fluids from machinery and ductwork can cause health hazards and safety risks for workers, including respiratory ailments and increased risks of accidents. Nearly all machining operations create oil mist, the aerosol formed when oil is used for cooling or lubricating during the machining of metal or plastic components. Proper ventilation is required to prevent oil mists from fouling equipment, products, and the working environment.
Nordfab Ducting offers QFS™ Sealed Duct to protect against leakage in ducting used in ventilation systems where oil mist and smoke are contaminants.
Nordfab's easy to install three part system for sealing ductwork to prevent leakage includes:
The combination of these Oil Mist System components with Nordfab’s Duct Pipe, which features solid welded seams, provides excellent leakage protection, in comparison to lockform seams which allow air to leak (view movie showing comparison).
