Nordfab® is available in a range of material options, including galvanized steel in diameters from 3" to 84" and stainless steel options ranging from 8" to 24". Each component features fully welded seams that prevent leaks and contamination, while the modular design allows for easy reconfiguration. This adaptability, combined with superior construction quality, makes Nordfab® Ducting suitable for everything from dry dust collection to challenging wet, oil mist, and abrasive processes.
Welding Industry: Ensuring Safety Through Effective Fume Extraction
The welding industry faces unique challenges in maintaining air quality and worker safety. Welding fumes, easily inhaled and trapped in the lungs, pose significant health risks to operators while settling on floors and fixtures, creating potential safety hazards and equipment malfunctions. Welding fume ducting provides a comprehensive solution to these challenges through advanced source-capture technology and robust construction.
Nordfab® Ducting captures fumes directly at the source, preventing their dispersion throughout the facility. This targeted approach not only protects worker health but also helps maintain equipment functionality and cleanliness. Available in diameters from 3" to 24", these systems are specifically engineered to handle the demanding environment of welding operations while ensuring compliance with OSHA's permissible exposure limits.
Key Benefits:
• Prevents fume accumulation in breathing zones
• Reduces floor and fixture contamination
• Maintains consistent air quality
• Supports regulatory compliance
Automotive Service: Superior Vehicle Exhaust Management
Vehicle repair facilities present unique challenges in managing exhaust emissions, with temperatures reaching up to 600°F. Automotive exhaust solutions provide comprehensive protection through advanced ducting systems designed specifically for these demanding conditions.
The system's ability to capture emissions directly at the source, combined with its temperature-resistant construction, creates a safer working environment for repair and maintenance technicians.
The Quick-Fit® system's adaptability proves particularly valuable in automotive settings, where service bay configurations often require flexible ducting solutions. The tool-free installation and adjustment capabilities allow facilities to modify their setup as needed, while the system's durability ensures long-term performance even under heavy use conditions.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Precision Dust Control
In the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, maintaining clean air and preventing cross-contamination are paramount concerns. Pharmaceutical ducting solutions address these challenges through precision engineering and superior construction quality.
The systems feature smooth internal surfaces that minimize particle accumulation and facilitate thorough cleaning, while the static pressure reduction design ensures optimal flow characteristics.
The stainless steel construction options provide the durability and sanitization capabilities required in pharmaceutical manufacturing, while the system's modular nature allows for easy validation and maintenance. This combination of features not only supports GMP compliance but also helps facilities maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and product quality.
Agricultural Production: Adaptable Dust Management
Agricultural facilities face unique challenges in controlling organic and inorganic dust during processing, handling, and storage operations. Agricultural ducting systems provide robust solutions through corrosion-resistant construction and adaptable designs that can grow with facility needs.
The system's ability to effectively capture and control agricultural dust helps protect workers from both short-term and long-term respiratory issues.
The modular nature of Nordfab® Ducting proves particularly valuable in agricultural settings, where seasonal changes and varying production needs often require system modifications. Quick-clean access points and tool-free maintenance features ensure minimal downtime while maintaining optimal performance throughout the harvest cycle.
Food Processing: Maintaining Safety and Sanitation
Food processing facilities require specialized dust collection solutions that meet stringent safety and sanitation standards. Food processing ducting systems excel in these environments through careful attention to sanitary design principles and easy-clean surfaces.
The systems prove particularly effective in applications ranging from baked goods manufacturing to powdered milk processing, spice handling, and sweetener blending operations.
NFPA-compliant components and explosion protection compatibility ensure safety in environments where combustible dust may be present. The system's comprehensive size range and adaptability allow facilities to maintain efficient operations while meeting all relevant food safety regulations.
