Foundry & Forge

Forge and foundry operations involve various processes, including melting, pouring, cooling, sand handling, grinding and polishing. They may involve special challenges such as high temperatures and heavy dust loads.
For example the melting and pouring of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials can cause fumes which require extraction consideration to be given to the high temperatures that the systems will have to handle throughout the operation.
The management of sand is a large part of the foundry industry with procedures such as sand molding manufacture, shake-out and reclamation creating silica dust known as Respirable Crystalline Silica or RCS which can be exceptionally harmful to lungs when inhaled and so requires accurate and efficient control.
