Industrial Air Solutions for High-Heat, High-Dust Environments
Foundries present some of the harshest air quality challenges in manufacturing. Molten metal, sand handling, core making, and shakeout processes all generate extreme heat, hazardous fumes, and massive volumes of dust and particulate.
AirPro delivers engineered air pollution control systems specifically designed for foundry environments—where durability, reliability, and performance under pressure are critical. Our solutions help protect workers, equipment, and processes while ensuring compliance with OSHA, NFPA, and EPA regulations.
Applications We Support
- Iron, steel, and aluminum casting
- Sand handling and mold prep
- Core making (cold box, hot box, shell)
- Shakeout and sand reclamation
- Finishing, grinding, and polishing
- Furnace charging and tapping
Air Quality Challenges in Foundry Operations
Melting and Pouring
- Releases fumes, metal oxides, silica, and carbon monoxide
- Exposure to manganese, lead, and other toxic substances
- High-temperature emissions require specially designed hoods and ducting
Mold & Core Making
- Resin-bonded cores and sand molds release VOCs and formaldehyde
- Dust from sand mixing and transport creates inhalation and combustion risks
Shakeout & Cleaning
- Heavy particulate is released during the shakeout and casting cleaning process
- Dust is often abrasive, hot, and potentially explosive
Grinding and Finishing
- Fine metallic dust and grinding debris present both respiratory and fire hazards
- Requires spark-resistant systems with continuous airflow and high-efficiency filtration
