Industry
On production lines, various mechanical or chemical processes often take place that create polluted air. Whether textiles, wood, cardboard, plastics, or foodstuffs are being processed, it can be said with certainty that during the production process, one is confronted with greatly increased dust levels. Employees employed in such production halls thus come into contact with a large quantity of fine dust which can cause negative health effects over time.
Sources of dust in industry
Every mechanical process inevitably generates dust, with friction between materials being the main cause. Think of drilling, sawing, grinding, and sanding. These dust particles can be visible, such as sawdust or grinding dust, but also invisible to the human eye. In general, the smaller the dust particles, the greater the impact on health. Even brief exposure can have health effects, which is why adequate respiratory protection is essential.
Certain raw or auxiliary materials are naturally dusty, and processing them releases large amounts of fine dust. A common occupational disease among bakers, known as baker's asthma or farinosis, is the direct result of excessive exposure to flour dust. Dust control is therefore very important in industrial and artisanal bakeries and mills. Using a suitable dust mask is an essential part of this.
Arbin respiratory protection for industry
The Arbin Kite air hoods belong to the category of so-called 'powered air masks', allowing many users to carry out their work comfortably. Although they may look heavy, the flow of clean air along the face makes breathing very easy. Moreover, the Kite air hood offers the highest possible level of protection, much higher than the commonly used FFP2 or FFP3 masks. The Kite Pro Vision's panoramic visor with impact protection provides a wide field of view.
Thanks to the support of the motor, the wearer of a Kite does not have to overcome any resistance from the fine dust filter, ensuring a continuous flow of clean, cooling air inside the mask. All of this contributes to excellent wearing comfort, allowing the user to work for long periods without hindrance. In this way, respiratory protection effectively contributes to health and is not perceived as a burden.
