Common problems

Problem Dust at a conveyor transfer point Dust at a conveyor transfer point is usually driven by falling material, displaced air and poor sealing. Understanding which of… Read more Problem Excessive heat in an industrial workspace Excessive heat in an industrial workspace usually combines heat from processes, roofs and machinery with limited air movement. The options… Read more Problem High dust at crusher discharge Crushers and screens generate fresh fines and move large volumes of air, so dust at the discharge is common. The… Read more Problem Low humidity in a textile production area Low humidity in spinning, weaving and other textile areas can affect fibre behaviour, static and breakage. Restoring control starts with… Read more Problem Manual material movement in a warehouse Manual movement of pallets, trolleys and carts takes labour, creates congestion and carries safety risk. Mobile robots, guided vehicles and… Read more Problem Need a leak-resistant high-pressure connection A leak-resistant high-pressure connection depends on the fitting system, tube quality, correct assembly and suitable materials working together. Most leaks… Read more Problem Unreliable flow measurement Flow readings that drift, jump or disagree with the plant balance usually come from a mismatch between the meter principle,… Read more Problem Water hardness affecting equipment Hard water deposits calcium and magnesium scale on heat-transfer surfaces, nozzles, membranes and pipework. Confirming hardness and the wider water… Read more
