Sidlaw Packaging Ltd, Ilkeston, Nottingham

Sidlaw Packaging requested the expertise of the engineers to design a more effective system of fume extraction.

The manufacturers of packaging for the food industry had an existing duct system that was ineffective and fumes produced through the process of heat sealing plastic bags were escaping into the workplace causing discomfort to personnel working in the area.

Optimair designed a system that could cope more effectively with extracting the fume by introducing a higher velocity of air in order to increase the amount of fume captured and taken away at source.
