Keeping it Clean

RoboVent

Nearly two years ago, the Metaldyne Tubular Products plant in Hamburg, Michigan faced a dilemma present in many forming, fabricating and welding plants. What to do about weld smoke? Effectively capture and filter it at the source with an investment in new technology that yields a cleaner plant, or continue using older or outdated filtering equipment and continue to pay for regular plant cleanings. 

At Metaldyne Tubular Products, the decision was made based upon a simple observation and a company policy to always look for ways to raise the bar and improve operations, according to Butch Bennett, Program Manager at Metaldyne Tubular. “Our air quality reports were very favorable but our plant walls and machinery were getting dirty,” he said.
