Wolfe Industrial
Towards Safer, Cleaner and Efficient Manufacturing

In the tire and rubber industry, as well as other manufacturing facilities, ensuring cleanliness and maintaining a healthy work environment is a significant challenge. Manufacturing operations involve the transport and processing of numerous powdered and formulated ingredients that generate dusts, mists, smoke and fumes that can become fugitive air born hazards when not properly captured with a dust and particulate collection system. Dusty and oily walking and working surfaces along with contaminated air in the work environment create safety hazards and cause serious health threats to workers. To combat this issue, the dust collection system has become an integral part of many industries. However, a majority of manufacturers today are unable to maximize the effectiveness or harness the complete benefit of their dust collection systems. This is sometimes because of faulty system designs from the beginning or no redesign considerations calculated for system modifications. The ineffectiveness of the system creates several problems from the manufacturing standpoint. For starters, inefficient collection of dust and fumes can lead to severe health hazards for the employees leading to government regulatory citations. On top of the health hazards, contaminated surfaces of the production equipment and the product components impact the final quality of the products manufactured. All-in-all, it leads to exorbitant costs in equipment maintenance and housekeeping. Hence, manufacturers are looking for a dynamic partner that can help them improve their existing systems or design and implement customized new dust and fume collection systems.

Wolfe Industrial is that most sought partner, which is at the forefront of designing, fabricating, installing and maintaining the equipment and systems that manufacturers need to run efficiently, safely and profitably.
