Industrial Filtration:
The best Workmec® solutions for
industrial air filtration

Industrial filtration represents a set of technologies and engineering solutions dedicated to purifying air within production environments. In modern industries, where operations generate emissions of dust, fumes, and harmful substances, maintaining high air quality standards is not only a regulatory requirement, but a vital necessity to protect workers’ health and ensure operational continuity.

Impacts on health and work environments

Without an effective industrial air filtration system, suspended particles—such as PM10, PM2.5, and PM1—can cause serious respiratory problems. Furthermore, pollutants such as benzene, carbon monoxide, and aromatic hydrocarbons threaten both environmental safety and human health. Air quality directly impacts employee well-being, productivity, and the life cycle of industrial equipment.

Italian and European regulations on air quality

Legislative obligations and current regulations

In Italy, regulations regarding air quality in industrial environments are particularly stringent. Legislative Decree 81/2008 requires employers to adopt preventive measures to reduce exposure to airborne harmful substances. This includes the installation and maintenance of efficient and compliant filtration systems.

Compliance with Legislative Decree 81/2008

The decree requires the adoption of ventilation systems that ensure adequate air exchange and the removal of contaminants. Workmec® products, designed with cutting-edge technologies, help companies fully comply with these standards, improving the work environment in terms of safety and comfort.

Industrial air filtration: technologies and benefits

Types of particulate matter and pollutants treated

An efficient industrial air filtration system can remove fine particles (PM10, PM2.5, PM1), volatile chemical agents (VOCs), metal fumes, oils, and other contaminants. The industrial air filters developed by Workmec® enable targeted action on each of these elements, helping maintain compliant and healthy operating environments.

Tangible benefits: health, productivity and maintenance

Good filtration brings significant benefits:

  • Reduced sick leave.
  • Increased worker productivity.
  • Increased longevity of industrial equipment.
  • Improved humidity and temperature control.

 

Industrial air filters: functions and variants

Industrial air filters are devices designed to trap harmful particles in the air before they are dispersed into the workplace or reintroduced into production circuits. They consist of a filter body (bag or cartridge) and a support (basket or frame), the construction quality of which is essential to the system’s efficiency.

Workmec® sleeve baskets: the heart of the filtering system

Anti-collapse frames and optimised airflow

The filter baskets produced by Workmec® are frames made of electro-welded metal wire, designed to support the filter bag and prevent it from collapsing during vacuuming or cleaning. This ensures a uniform and constant airflow, improving the efficiency of the filter system.

Customization and available templates

Workmec® offers a wide range of baskets:

Standard, modular and venturi baskets

  • Single-section or multiple models for easier transport.
  • Baskets with integrated venturi tubes optimize compressed air cleaning efficiency.
  • Special surface treatments for harsh environments.

Overplate and underplate models: FA, FB, FC, FD, BR1®

  • Patented quick couplings such as the BR1® model.

Above-plate and below-plate versions for every system requirement.

Industrial filtration accessories: the complete Workmec® range

Venturi tubes, gaskets, nozzles and stainless steel

Every effective industrial filtration system requires robust ancillary components:

  • Venturi tubes to increase air velocity.
  • Seals and nozzles designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
  • Stainless steel components for corrosive environments.

Surface treatments and cataphoresis

Workmec® uses cataphoresis treatment to improve the corrosion resistance of iron components. This electrochemical process increases the durability of materials in extreme environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
