In this article, Dustcontrol highlights problems associated with dust pollution in modern production facilities and illustrates how integrated high vacuum systems can provide competitive advantage. Intense workloads and pressure to produce quality products are
creating demand for cleaner production facilities. However,manufacturing intensity seems to make this need harder than ever.
Airborne dust and particulate waste from manufacturing processes are increasingly nacceptable in facilities trying to achieve efficient working environments. If physical concerns over product quality and environmental health are not enough, external pressures from COSHH and recent ATEX regulations, add to the burden.
While it may seem that air cleaning through large-scale ventilation is a primary option, many businesses could improve their facilities through on-tool extraction.This involves high vacuum systems that transport waste to a centralised location for easy disposal or intermediate pre-separators for potential recycling. Such systems can also be used as general in-house vacuums, negating the need for sweeping (which creates hazardous airborne dust) and mobile vacuums.

Michell Instruments are delighted to announce that they now offer a rental scheme for a number of their products. Due to a significant demand in the market, Michell made four of their most popular dew point hygrometers available for hire.
Offering the customer free packing and carriage in the UK and free technical, and applications support, the rental scheme gives the customer all of the benefits of buying a new product, but the ease of hiring it at a fraction of the cost. Each product is calibrated to National Standards and calibration is re-verified before delivery.
Providing the customer with a flexible, efficient and cost-effective solution, this scheme has been an instant success. Since its launch, Michell have had all of their available instruments out on hire and are adding to their product range to deal with the demand. Special gas producers, Air Products, Plc, Manchester, were one of the first customers to be delighted with this new service.

Industry in general is still to wake up to the full energy saving potential of enhanced lubricant technology, perhaps because energy saving synthetic lubricants are perceived as expensive, compared to traditional mineral oils. Justification for increased expenditure on lubricants can be difficult, as lubricants are often viewed as a maintenance cost, while energy is seen as an operating cost.
A recent study at a leading food manufacturer by Fuchs Lubricants, illustrates the savings that synthetic oils can offer. Energy consumption was reduced by more than 5% in hydraulic systems and bearings, > 5% in spur gears and >30% in worm gears. Trials of new synthetic lubricants on a single 100HP rotary compressor, operating on full load over three shifts, resulted in savings of
By using the latest condition monitoring systems and services, manufacturing companies can reduce unforeseen breakdowns. Schaeffler UK's managing director, Kate Hartigan, explains
When owning and managing high value items like cars or homes, most people are comfortable paying insurance premiums. So, surely manufacturing companies need to ensure their high value capital goods are adequately insured against unforeseen breakdowns? After all, lost production could equate to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of pounds per day. Although the cost of machine components like bearings and motors is small compared with the total machine price, the cost of production downtime and consequential losses resulting from a component failure, are often significant.
Take a steel or aluminium manufacturing plant. The typical cost of production downtime is
