Lithium is the backbone of today’s battery-powered world, from electric vehicles to smartphones. As demand rises, so do the challenges of controlling airborne particulates. Lithium dust isn’t just messy—it’s reactive, abrasive, and harmful to both people and products.

Sand processing produces sharp, lightweight dust particles that are both abrasive and hazardous to inhale. Left unchecked, sand dust can cause serious respiratory risks (including silicosis) and trigger compliance issues with OSHA and EPA standards.

At Sly, we understand the growing need for cleaner air in manufacturing. One way we help industries achieve this goal is through wet scrubbers. These systems reduce air pollution by capturing harmful particulates and gases before they impact our environment and your workers’ health. How Wet Scrubbers Work A wet…

Choosing the right dust collector for your operation isn’t just about capturing dust—it’s about capturing the right size of dust. Particle size impacts everything from filtration efficiency to system performance, making it essential to understand the composition of your dust. Knowing the particle size distribution can mean the difference between…

Dust collection in plastic manufacturing isn’t just a cleanup task. It’s critical to protect air quality, worker safety, and operational efficiency. Processes such as pelletizing, grinding, molding, and conveying produce fine dust particles, often called “fines,” which can lead to serious risks like combustible dust explosions and harmful chemical exposure. …

Filter bags are the backbone of any dust collection system, keeping industrial operations clean, safe, and compliant. The right filter bag improves air quality and boosts system efficiency. Understanding the properties of different filter bags can help optimize the performance of your facility and reduce costs. Choosing the Right Filter…

Dust collection in high-temperature environments demands more than standard solutions. High-temperature dust collector bags are engineered to withstand intense heat, harsh chemicals, and abrasive particles while maintaining peak filtration performance. Whether managing emissions in a cement kiln or capturing fine dust in a smelter, these durable bags ensure efficiency, compliance,…

Dust control isn’t just a regulatory checkbox—it’s essential for your industrial operations’ safety, productivity, and sustainability. Airborne particles can lead to equipment failures, health risks, and environmental violations without the right dust control system. But with the right strategy, you can protect your workers, stay compliant, and maintain efficiency. Understanding…

Fly ash, a fine powdery byproduct of coal combustion, poses significant challenges in industrial settings. If not appropriately managed, this substance can cause serious environmental and health issues. Despite its problematic nature, fly ash offers valuable commercial uses, making its effective control essential. Understanding its properties and implementing robust dust…
