A recent report states that the Industrial manufacturing and the construction industry are the two largest polluters, contributing to the second largest year-over-year increase in air contaminants in the last two decades. Industrial operations produce heavily contaminated air in manufacturing industries, which can disrupt the efficiency and pose health, safety, and environmental risks. Therefore, Robust Air Filtration and Corrosion Control solutions are used to mitigate these industry issues. These solutions possess multifaceted benefits which will increase productivity on the one hand and health benefits of employees on the other.
“The greatest asset of a company is its people,” said Jorge Paulo Lemann, Co-Founder of Banco Garantia. Yes, employees are one of the most valuable assets of any organization. Hence, the assurance of their safety on shop floors is the utmost priority. The air they breathe should be the best of the standards as contaminated air may comprise heavy dust levels, explosive dust, and molecular pollutants, which may result in odors, corrosive reactions, and even pose a toxic threat to operators and the environment.
Therefore, clients today are looking at fit-for-purpose air filtration solutions that would provide outstanding long-term performance in adverse operating conditions. Moreover, to comply with stringent health and safety regulations, Industries are looking at advanced Air Cleaning Solutions for both Equipment and Employees.
Owing to the complexity and criticality of operations in the industries, only a few players in the air pollution control equipment market have the solutions for all the industrial segments. One such leading player in this segment, offering Best-in-class Industrial dust collection equipment and Replacement Filters is Camfil Air Pollution Control. Camfil’s decades of industry experience and dedication towards research and development has helped the company to stand tall in this segment.
Camfil’s filters are integral to all the company’s offerings and constitute the largest part of the business. These air filters can be as small as a matchbox or as large as a shipping container.
