Grinding
When grinding, deburring and polishing metal, large amounts of metal dust are released. This metal dust contains both coarse and ultrafine particles that can penetrate deep into the airways and pose a real health risk when inhaled. Using adequate respiratory protection is therefore essential to safeguard workers' health.
Sources of dust when grinding
Machining and mechanical operations such as grinding, deburring and polishing are accompanied by the release of a great deal of dust. The metal particles released range from coarse grains to ultrafine dust that spreads easily through the space and remains suspended in the air for a long time.
In addition, these processes may involve machining fluids, producing aerosols — a kind of mist that can contain irritant and allergenic components. Although some workshops are equipped with dust extraction, it is precisely the finest and most harmful dust that is not fully captured.
Arbin respiratory protection for grinding
For metalworkers who do not carry out welding work, Arbin offers the Kite Pro Vision with impact protection for the face — the most versatile fresh air hood on the market. The air hoods provide the highest possible level of protection against dust, many times higher than the commonly used disposable dust masks (FFP2/FFP3).
Thanks to the support of the motor, the wearer does not have to overcome the resistance of the fine dust filter; a slight positive pressure of fresh air provides a cooling airflow inside the mask. This contributes to excellent wearing comfort, allowing the user to work for long periods without hindrance. Please note: the air hoods do not provide protection against gases.
