BOFA filtration technologies for a healthy environment
Many industrial processes generate airborne particles. These can pose a risk to human health and affect production and product quality. In many countries around the globe, workplace exposure standards have been established to regulate emissions from industrial activities. These standards aim to ensure safe working environments for individuals. Violations can have financial consequences and damage the company’s reputation.
BOFA filtration technologies
BOFA’s advances in fume and dust extraction technology play a crucial role in health and safety strategies in industrial environments. These developments help manufacturers comply with local regulations while ensuring a clean working environment.
BOFA’s portable filtration technology is capable of capturing airborne contaminants down to a minimum size of 0.3 microns. This performance is achieved through a sophisticated collection and filtration system, comprising a patented DeepPleat DUO pre-filter, a high-efficiency (HEPA) main filter for airborne particles and a layer of activated carbon to remove vapours, gases and odours. The precise configuration, airflows and filters used are tailored to each specific application and industrial process.
Filtration solutions for reliable performance
BOFA filtration technologies have proven themselves by delivering reliable performance and automated monitoring, particularly where there are constraints in the workplace. User feedback has highlighted the importance of reliable monitoring, continuous tracking of filter condition and remote diagnostics, which make for quick filter replacement. This approach protects not only operators but also equipment, avoiding unplanned downtime.
BOFA systems are designed to handle the emissions specific to a variety of processes, such as laser coding, marking, cutting and engraving, inkjet printing, electronic soldering and 3D printing.
In the context of additive manufacturing, BOFA technology can filter the nanoparticles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during these processes. Each solution is customised to take account of the processes, materials and chemical interactions involved. This ensures optimal protection for workers and avoids downtime caused by equipment contamination.
By combining systematic monitoring, intelligent airflow management, extended filter life and tailor-made solutions, BOFA technology plays a key role in the safety of industrial environments. In addition, BOFA units are transportable, which makes them suitable for agile production environments, an increasingly crucial feature.
