Extraction systems for foundries

Fumes, dust, odors, aerosols and oil mist in foundry environments

Foundry operations involving steel, cast iron, aluminum, lead, copper, bronze, brass, and non-ferrous alloys generate a wide range of airborne contaminants, including:

Fumes and vapors at varying temperatures.
Dry and wet dust.
Oil mist and aerosols.
Odors generated during melting, rolling, and casting processes.

The concentration and type of contaminant vary depending on the material being processed and the specific production stage. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory illnesses, skin disorders, allergic reactions, and, in more severe cases, chronic lung or neurological diseases.

Regulations and workplace safety

European regulations require foundries to implement specialized dust collection and air filtration systems capable of:

Capturing contaminants directly at the source.
Filtering pollutants according to their specific characteristics.
Reducing emissions released into the environment.
Protecting the health and safety of workers.

La Coro solutions for a safer foundry

La Coro Impianti designs and manufactures custom-engineered dust collection and air filtration systems for every type of foundry and metal die casting operation, including:

Pulse Jet baghouse dust collectors with pre-separation systems.
Venturi scrubbers for wet or odor-producing contaminants.
Panel demisters for removing release-agent aerosols and oil mist.
Source-capture systems featuring extraction walls, articulated arms, and custom-designed hoods.
Dry or wet filtration systems, selected to meet the specific requirements of each production process.

Materials and technologies

Our systems can be manufactured using:

Galvanized steel.
Painted carbon steel.
AISI stainless steel.
Polypropylene (PP).

When required, systems can also be equipped with acid gas neutralization using hydrated lime and dioxin adsorption using activated carbon, providing advanced treatment for demanding industrial applications and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards.
