Be compliant

It is important to keep workplace exposure of oil mist below acceptable limits, even in peak-times.

Solutions for oil mist in the automotive industry

The automotive industry is one of the largest and most important economic sectors worldwide. During the fabrication of tools and components for this industry, many different metalworking processes are taking place, such as milling, drilling, honing, casting, grinding, heat treatment and cold forming. During these metalworking processes various oil and emulsions are used to cool or lubricate the metal components. If these metalworking fluids get airborne, an aerosol forms. This oil mist causes slippery floors and work surfaces and can have negative health effects. In addition, these fine droplets can affect the electrical equipment in the facility.

Plymovent offers various solutions to remove the oil mist in the automotive industry.

Your advantages

  • A safe and healthy workplace
  • Workplace exposure to oil mist within legal limits
  • Protection against the risks of oil mist
  • Energy and maintenance cost savings

New Diesel Engine Technology and Ultrafine Particles

11 Jan 2019 Health risks

Over the years, modern diesel engines have become cleaner. Or in other words: they have become less pollutable and emit less hazardous fumes. Diesel engines even emit less carbon dioxide than gasoline engines and many diesel engine manufacturers claim that most of the harm of diesel exhaust has been reduced.

Hazards due to diesel fumes are still insufficiently prevented

17 Oct 2017 Health risks

In workplaces such as garages, bus depots and warehouses there is a lot of pollution, caused by diesel engines. The engines produce toxic gases and particulates, that can cause serious health risks and legal liability. Although it is well known that fumes are toxic and protective measures should be taken, that isn’t always done.
