On the Pluvigner (Hill-Rom company) site, the production line of AVANTGUARD hospital beds is fitted with a state-of-the-art fume extraction system.
Yves Jochaud, head of sector for SAF, explains: "the company wanted a production line reflecting its product: innovative and clean. The SAF solution was chosen". This includes a high-pressure network with welding fume capture by blow-off pipes and a low pressure network with extraction panels to capture residual fumes.
"The system is highly technical, stresses Marc Dubos, head of marketing for the AZUR range. In addition to guaranteed extraction efficiency and compliance with atmospheric discharge levels, it integrates ergonomic needs - the blow-off pipes and panels have been designed to specific geometry - and can be extended to keep pace with development of the line. In this way, the high-pressure power unit with a capacity of 4000 m3/h for 15 welders can be enlarged to 30 welders. For the extraction panels, the network allows an extraction capacity of 16000 m3/h with a possible extension to 32000m3/h".
The technical approach, advice and products have been decisive strengths. Yves Jochaud explains: "we have worked in close collaboration with CMB*, the local SAF distributor, to adapt our equipment to the customer's expectations. The result: Hill-Rom is satisfied and is currently consulting us for other extraction networks".
