How to avoid sweeping profits out the door
Every company has to streamline their production facilities to meet the ongoing needs of global consumer demands. With the ability to search and purchase services and products around the globe with a few clicks of a button and well placed search criteria, customers expect to find better prices and a higher standard of quality for the products they frequently purchase. Every successful business already knows the customer is always right.
How can pneumatic and material conveying systems help?
Businesses can save money and improve their stock with the addition of efficiently organized material conveyance systems and dust collection applications. Airlock feeders and industrial cyclone are only two components used in dust collection systems that can easily eliminate harmful particles at the source and modern pneumatic systems which are capable of material conveyance,
separation and accumulation in a vast array of industries ranging form woodworking and metal working shops to pharmaceutical plants and limitless farming applications.
Every improvement adds up no matter how small the improvement is, even with something as simple as an airlock feeder. Each one is a step closer to maximum efficiency and less waste. Here are some benefits to utilizing a pneumatic conveyance system.
- Less manpower
- Improved working conditions
- Improved air quality
- Less machine downtime
- Superior collection
- Automation
- improved product quality
- Increased production
- Recycling opportunities
- Reduced Waste
Less manpower – Without a dust collection system in place, shop cleanup requires a labor force to perform custodial jobs. A well-designed collection system reduces the need for “elbow grease” and still gets the job done.
Improved working conditions – When there is excess materials scattered unnecessarily through out a shop, it can create slipping hazards as well as an unclean work environment.
Improved air quality – Dust can carry a variety of health hazards when air is full of air particulates, including allergies, eye and throat irritation or even cancer. Through the steady removal of these fine hazards, air quality can be greatly improved which is generally required by safety regulations to begin with.
Less machine downtime – Sawdust and metal shaving buildup can cause mechanical failures that result in more maintenance and repair. Through the use of point of contact dust removal, machinery can be kept clean and ready to use without slowing down operations.
Superior collection – Collection systems provide a steady air flow at the source of manufacturing and a simple broom doesn't collect the fine particulates that are often left behind. Other air conveyance systems can actually separate materials with the proper use industrial cyclones and airlocks.
Automation – An airlock feeder doesn't have to be trained, and industrial cyclones already do the work without being instructed to.
Improved product quality – Fine woodworking and many metal working products require finesse and the right system can reduce errors in everything from plasma cutting to fine sanding.
Increased production – With less downtime and premium working conditions, companies can increase their production quotas.
Recycling opportunities – Air conveyance systems can also provide recycling opportunities for companies that have an eye on the “green” market. Those recycling opportunities can lead to reduced waste or even an untapped gain in cash flow.
Reduced waste – By improving the working conditions and improving the quality of products being manufactured, waste can be drastically reduced.
With the right air conveyance system, woodworking shops, pharmaceutical companies, farms and other industries that employ or suffer from miniscule particles, can greatly enhance their capabilities of streamlining the process by which they produce goods for their customers without breaking the bank. Many professional companies offer free services to help business owners ascertain the right system needed for their applications.
