A mechanical workshop is a place where repair, maintenance and manufacturing operations of mechanical components and machinery are performed. Mechanical workshops provide a variety of services and face increasing challenges related to the management of waste generated during each production process. One particularly critical issue is the type and amount of waste generated by machine tools during machining operations.

In this article, we will examine the importance of adopting efficient vacuum solutions to effectively address the challenges of the mechanical industry.

Waste produced by mechanical workshops

The activities carried out by mechanical workshops generate a variety of wastes, including a significant amount of oil mists consisting of small particles suspended in air. These mists result from machining operations with high spindle speed and high coolant pressure. During these operations, small droplets of oil can be projected into the air, forming an oily mist. These mists present several problems for the health of employees and the healthiness of the work environment, so they must be handled very carefully.

Suction needs of mechanical workshop

Oil mists extraction has become a priority need for machine shops seeking to maintain a clean and safe working environment. This need is driven by several factors:

• Health risks

The presence of oils and fumes in the air can cause direct health risks to operators, making it essential to adopt extraction solutions;

• Wear and tear on machinery and equipment

An environment soaked in oil mists can accelerate equipment wear and tear, making investment in a vacuum system a strategic choice for quality-oriented companies;

• Quality of finished products

Oil mists in the air can adversely affect the quality of finished products. Preservation of high standards requires the adoption of advanced extraction solutions that limit the presence of contaminants in the production process;

• Air pollution

The spread of fumes and oils into the environment can have negative impacts on the surrounding ecosystem. Reducing these emissions becomes a key objective for a sustainability-oriented mechanical engineering industry.

To address these challenging situations and handle large amounts of pollution, iVision Vacuum designed OIL MIST, a new line of vacuum cleaners with simple and effective waste management system.
