Requirements & Challenges

Tableware and home accessories, which are made of ceramic, are produced with special techniques developed in Esma Dereboy Art Workshop. At some stages of production, which is made with today’s modern technology, ceramic parts are polished or grinded manually. Fine ceramic and clay dust, which released during polishing and grinding process, was disturbing the operators and causing an uncomfortable working environment.

In order to eliminate this problem and to protect employee health at the highest level, an effective solution was required for dedusting the production hall.

Solution

  • VANTERM determined the amount of extraction-air required, acc. to the measurements and observations made in the production area of the ceramic parts. The air capacity calculation was made mutually, taking into account the possible production increases for the coming years. It was proposed and accepted to use EK-series extraction arms in order to collect ceramic and clay dust at source, to avoid the dust from spreading around.

  • The necessary duct recommendations and the related pressure loss calculations were carried out and the system was put into service, successfully. The solution is provided in the project by using AC-model filter unit and EK-series extractions arms. Additionally, ECO-1 model mobile filter units are also used at couple of points.
