Introduction
For more than half a century, Lambson Innovate has been at the forefront of British manufacturing. They produce precision – engineered products for a diverse range of industries with expertise in bonded components, profiles and panels.
Lambson’s manufacturing processes inevitably produce airborne particulates that the company vehemently control with a number of dust control (LEV) systems. To maintain the proficiency and compliance of the LEV systems, they partner with Dust Control Environmental Ltd (DCE) for a testing and maintenance service package.
Project Requirements
With every product made to order, a mixture of processes are involved in the manufacturing of Lambson Innovate products. To provide sufficient extraction they operate 18 LEV units, controlling dust and fumes at source, on lines such as the glue line, edge bander and engineer welding.
The Dust Collectors are in place not only to ensure the protection of their team members’ health but to remain compliant with HSE and COSHH regulations.
Regulatory testing of these systems is required to be carried out by accredited engineers, providing thorough reporting and documentation.
For convenience and to experience a seamless service, Lambson also required the LEV test supplier to provide remedial work and maintenance support.
How DCE met Requirements
Dust Control Environmental’s P601 accredited Engineer undertook testing of the 18 LEV systems, over the course of 3 consecutive days. The comprehensive test results were supplied to Lambson via the DCE OneHub, document storage system.
A comprehensive action list was supplied outlining any remedial work required to maintain LEV compliance. From this a work quotation was raised and on acceptance the DCE engineer will return to complete the work.
Continual LEV support will be provided to Lambson Innovate with the implementation of a DCE Total Care service and maintenance package.
The Benefits
Engaging with DCE for their LEV testing and maintenance regime will provide many benefits, including:
- Assurance of regulatory compliance.
- LEV efficiency and workforce protection.
- Minimal operating downtime.
- A convenient “One- Stop-Shop” for remedial work, maintenance, spares and testing.
- 24/7 access to the DCE OneHub report storage system.
- Evidence of a documented testing and maintenance regime.
- Access to a Total Care plan and DCE Loyalty Scheme.
