Herding Filters

Automotive Industries, August, 2003

PIAB Vacuum Conveyors has announced the availability of its Herding Filters for automotive manufacturing applications. According to PIAB, the filters are engineered to be free of silicone and textiles and will allow paint to adhere easily to the surface of a vehicle. The Herding Filters are designed to prevent dust and fine particles from being drawn into the vacuum pump and escaping into the surroundings. The residual powder that falls off of the vehicle's surface is then reclaimed by the PIAB vacuum conveyor. PIAB USA Inc., Tele: (800) 321-7422, www.piab.com.
