Scrap and Oil Mist Removal at Can Plant - Australia

A state-of-the-art metal scrap and oil mist extraction system has been installed by Impact Air Systems at a prestigious aluminium can manufacturing plant, setting new standards in operational efficiency and workplace safety. This advanced system is designed to handle the unique challenges of managing waste materials like metal scrap and oil mist that are common by-products in the production of aluminium cans.

Key Features of the Extraction System:

Dual-Purpose Design

– The system is engineered to address two critical areas of waste management: metal scrap extraction and oil mist removal. This dual-purpose design enhances the plant’s ability to maintain a clean, efficient production environment while reducing the risks associated with airborne contaminants.

High-Efficiency Metal Scrap Collection

– Equipped with powerful air handling and separation technology, the metal scrap extraction component efficiently captures and transports excess aluminium pieces generated during the can-forming process. This helps reduce material waste and maximises the recovery of scrap for recycling, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Advanced Oil Mist Extraction

– The oil mist extraction system uses specialised filters and air circulation technology to capture fine oil particles released during the lubrication processes in the can production lines. By removing these airborne contaminants, the system improves air quality within the plant, ensuring a safer and healthier working environment for employees.

Integration and Flexibility

– The extraction system is fully compatible with the plant’s existing infrastructure, making it easy to integrate without causing major disruptions to production. Its flexible design allows for future upgrades and scalability to accommodate increasing production demands or evolving environmental regulations.

Manufacturing Process Benefits:

Optimised Production Efficiency
Automated removal of metal scrap and oil mist keeps production lines clear and running smoothly, minimising downtime and boosting overall output.

Enhanced Health & Safety
By extracting oil mist and airborne particulates at the source, the system significantly reduces worker exposure to harmful contaminants—creating a cleaner, safer working environment.

Environmental Compliance & Sustainability
Efficient waste handling and recycling processes support compliance with environmental regulations and contribute to more sustainable, responsible manufacturing practices.
