Professional chimney systems for metalworking industry

Metalworking is one of the most energy-intensive industries. The targeted use of process heat for procedures such as melting, forging, or welding is indispensable in this sector. However, these processes also generate exhaust gases and process air, which not only strain the environment but also jeopardize employee safety. For this reason, modern chimney systems are a crucial component of any production facility. They guarantee the safe discharge of these pollutants while simultaneously meeting stringent legal requirements.

Process heat in metalworking

Metalworking is one of the most energy-intensive industries in which process heat is indispensable. This is the targeted thermal energy used for technical processes such as melting, forging and welding. Without it, many production steps would be impossible.

However, these processes generate exhaust gases and process exhaust air, which not only pollute the environment but also endanger the safety of employees. Modern chimney systems are therefore a crucial component of production facilities, as they guarantee the safe discharge of pollutants and at the same time meet strict legal requirements.

Areas of application in metalworking

Whether in the iron and steel industry with its foundries and steel mills, among automotive suppliers who forge or powder-coat metal parts, or in mechanical engineering where melting, welding, and heat treatment processes are essential for component manufacturing - wherever metals are processed, the use of process heat is necessary. The same applies to companies involved in metal finishing, which treat surfaces using procedures such as hot-dip galvanizing.

The necessity of exhaust routing

In the generation of process heat, hot exhaust gases, vapors, and particles inevitably arise as process air. A chimney system serves as a high-performance duct to discharge these emissions in a controlled manner. A professional exhaust gas solution is essential for many reasons. It protects employees from harmful gases, vapors, and fine dust contained in the process air, and prevents corrosion and damage to production facilities caused by aggressive residues. Furthermore, an optimized exhaust draft ensures efficient combustion and reduces energy consumption.
