Dust Collection for Railway Equipment Manufacturing

Introduction to Dust and Fume Collection for Railway Equipment

As the economy slowly improves—and as economic forecasts remain positive—trends in the railway equipment industry look good. Demand for rail transport is growing, as large portions of both imports and exports travel over rail. Recent investments in rail infrastructure will help drive demand, as well. As freight miles increase, shippers will require new railway equipment, including locomotives, rail cars, and associated equipment.

During this period of growth, manufacturers of railway equipment will need to be mindful of changes in regulations regarding dust and weld fumes in their facilities. Some of these changes have been significant, and the need to comply with them is both legally and financially serious. Plus, the need to maintain a safe and pleasant work environment is as important as ever.

SOLUTIONS FOR DUST AND FUMES IN THE RAILWAY EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY

LEFILTER has almost three decades of experience solving air quality challenges in manufacturing environments. Our engineers got their start controlling weld fumes in the automotive industry and since have grown to address dust and fumes at every scale, from the smallest operation to the largest. LEFILTER manufactures its own equipment, ensuring end users the best quality and performance.

The railway equipment industry requires air quality solutions of all kinds, from source capture for specific applications to ambient capture across entire facilities. LEFILTER line of portable collectors lets manufacturers capture dust and fumes at their point of creation. These collectors use fume arms or hoods to make sure welders are protected, as well as everyone in the facility. These collectors are especially useful when welding or cutting large components.
