£60k Dust Extraction Investment
Lamplas have turned to Nederman for the latest in on-tool dust extraction equipment. Traditionally Lamplas’ two large trim departments have used general workshop dust extraction. This has proved expensive to run and only marginally effective at dust capture.
Nederman high vacuum system creates a powerful vacuum that captures dust at source. This is supported by several downdraft extraction benches to create a cleaner working environment. The final additions to the new Trimming workshop are large entry and exit pneumatically controlled PVC crash doors to allow hands-free movement of employees and unrestricted flow of products.
The Nederman equipment allows for dust extraction through into the new Development workshop and the new Finishing workshops, and with automatic vacuum valves, energy usage and noise are kept to a minimum.
