Challenges

Oerlikon Balzers is the world’s leading supplier of surface coatings for components and tools used in sectors such as the automotive and medical technology industries. During the treatment process for components (such as microblasting or sandblasting), a large amount of dust and material particles is produced, which is deposited in the air, on the ground and on the components themselves. There was also considerable dust build-up in the incoming and outgoing goods sections. An extensive amount of cleaning was required here to achieve the ideal production conditions and protect employees.

Benefits

Thanks to the air cleaning devices from Zehnder Clean Air Solutions, particle load has been reduced by an average of 78 %. This has enabled Oerlikon Balzers to optimise its production conditions and reduce costs for quality assurance and cleaning. In addition, the machines are exposed to far less particle-related wear. And above all, the employees benefit from healthier breathing air. That’s not to mention the bonus points when it comes to corporate image, as the cleaner production areas are now even more impressive when customers come to visit.
