Glass Industry and Dust Collection

Introduction to Dust and Fume Collection for Glass Manufacture

As the economy has slowly emerged from the recession, demand for glass products has grown steadily. Industries such as construction and automotive are rebounding, creating solid demand. Use of glass in bottling, telecommunications and consumer products is strong, too, due to growing consumer spending. Economic forecasts predict continued growth in glass demand over the next several years.

Whether manufacturers are making flat glass, pressed glass or new containers, workplace safety is still a major concern. In fact, a new regulation on silica dust will require many glass manufacturers to change their air quality protocols. As manufacturers increase production and implement new technologies, they must be vigilant in keeping up with air filtration. Besides protecting employees, clean air is necessary for maintaining high product quality, as well.
