Clean Air Matrix
RoboVent engineers are experts in every category of air filtration and ventilation. The four categories below represent the major options for treating your contaminated air. RoboVent has designed solutions for each of these categories and has manufactured air filtration systems of unrivaled quality.
For more information about these categories, see Indoor Air Quality 101.
Large blowers and air filtration equipment draw contaminated air from the plant (typically at the ceiling level), filter it and return it to the plant. This is a proven solution in plants welding large parts with overhead cranes. It reduces the haze in the air, resulting in a cleaner working environment, with no negative pressure or heat loss.
Air in the immediate area of the welding activity is captured in a hood system, then filtered and returned to the plant. This is the best solution whenever possible. It allows for a more flexible system and removes the smoke directly from the operator's breathing zone. There are many types of source capture, including overhead hoods, crossflow hoods, fume arms and fume guns, some of which work better than others.
Large exhaust fans draw contaminated air from the plant and exhaust it directly into the environment, typically through the roof or walls. This is a traditional method and often results in negative air pressure. Also, it is very difficult to climate-control your plant and the system may not work well in the winter.
Air in the immediate area of the welding activity is captured in a hood, sent through ductwork, and exhausted directly into the environment. This is a lower capital cost alternative to filtration, but tends to result in high operating costs and large, unsightly ducting systems that work less efficiently with modifications. It also results in negative pressure problems.
Fiber Laser, Dust Collector
As technology evolves and lasers become more powerful, extra requirements are placed on the machine operators to control the dust produced from the process.
Fiber lasers require more advanced dust collectors to handle the finer particulate and heavier dust volumes produced from the stronger laser. Stronger laser allow fabricators to cut thicker materials, faster. And, with that extra material and speed comes higher temperatures and finer dust.
Senturion protects your laser inside and out, allowing the housing and optics to stay cleaner for a longer period of time. With a 7” HD control display and shipped plug-n-play, ready to go, Senturion is a breeze to operate. It also reduces downtime with a powerful 15HP, energy efficient motor and individual pulse valves for longer filter life.
Senturion is tested and proven on high kW fiber and CO2 laser tables while cutting heavy plate on long production runs. PleatLock filters allow for initial filtration of MERV 15. Senturion can be placed indoors or out, configured with a range of motor blower combinations and built with explosion proofing for combustible dust.
