Marmara University test results prove that Aerosol Control Systems significantly reduce aerosol exposure

17/02/2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health risks associated with exposure to hazardous aerosols during routine dental procedures and the potential transmission of infectious diseases became even more of a concern. Considering the potential for patients infected with COVID-19 to transmit the virus while asymptomatic, it should be assumed that all patients can transmit disease. As the most important layer of the total protection strategy, the effectiveness of Nederman’s enhanced disease protection system was evaluated in collaboration with the leading dental university in Istanbul, Turkey - Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry, established in 1952.

Nanofiber filter media increase the efficiency and life span of your dust collection and fume extraction system

19/01/2021

Blended paper media have been used in industrial dust collection and fume extraction systems for decades. Made up of cellulose (80-85%) and polyester (15-20%) fibers, they collect particles in a variety of dust, fume and/or smoke generating applications, such as metalworking, welding, plasma cutting and laser cutting. With the advancement and availability of nanofiber technology, these filters are now able to collect more – and smaller – particles than ever before, while at the same time lasting longer, using less fan and compressed air energy, and requiring less maintenance than their predecessors

Regulations applying to combustible dust

08/01/2021

Companies that handle combustible dust need to comply with workplace safety regulations, and legislation aimed at preventing the risks posed by combustible dust. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed federal standards for workplace safety in the United States. In the European Union, the ATEX directives have been adopted in order to protect employees and equipment in workplaces with an explosive atmosphere.

How do I know if my dust is combustible?

25/11/2020

Combustible dust is a more common phenomenon than one might think. The combustibility of a wood-based type of dust is rather obvious, but many other organic dust materials – cocoa powder, flour, lemon pulp, and sugar, for example – are also potentially explosive. As are most fine dust particles from pharmaceuticals, plastics, textiles, and a range of other materials.
