Foundries & Metal Casting Air Filtration

Sand, Smoke, and Metal Dust in One Shop

A foundry doesn't have one dust problem, it has several, one at nearly every stage of the casting process.

Making sand molds releases silica dust into the air, and it's fine enough to be a serious health risk over time. Pouring molten metal adds fumes and smoke as the hot metal reacts with the mold material. Knocking castings out of their molds, called shakeout, releases a burst of dust all at once. And cleaning and finishing the castings, called fettling and grinding, adds metal dust and more silica dust on top of everything else.

Where Foundry Dust Problems Show Themselves

• Dust readings near molding, shakeout, or fettling areas are high

• Workers report coughing or breathing trouble after shifts

• Dust is visible settling on equipment shortly after cleaning

• You're adding a new molding, pouring, or finishing line

• Filters clog faster than your maintenance schedule expects

• Your process uses sand molds with a high silica content

Made for Heavy Dust Loads and Hot Fumes

Electrocorp systems are built for the harsh conditions of foundry work, high dust loads, fine silica particles, and hot fumes coming off molten metal. Heavy-duty particulate filters capture silica dust and metal fines before they spread through the shop floor, while carbon stages handle fumes released during pouring and mold breakdown. Units can be placed at shakeout stations, fettling benches, or across the whole casting floor.
