Dust & Fume Control for Munition Manufacturing

RoboVent Solutions for Munition Manufacturing

Shell and casing production for military applications involves some of the dirtiest and most demanding manufacturing environments. RoboVent delivers tough, adaptable air quality solutions engineered for these harsh conditions, supporting compliance, safety and productivity on the production floor. Our team works with you to choose the best solution for your application based on material type, process demands and cleanliness requirements.

Dust, Fume and Mist Collection Solutions: Rugged cartridge dust collectors for grinding, machining and welding; oil mist collectors for oily particulate from stamping and forming; and wet collection systems (buy and resell) for heavy-load applications like forge pressing and stamping.
Combustible Dust Mitigation: Explosion-rated collectors and NFPA-compliant controls for safe collection of reactive metal dusts like aluminum and magnesium.
Custom Hoods and Enclosures: Modular containment options for isolating high-particulate operations such as abrasive blasting, forge pressing or plasma cutting.
Ambient Filtration and Supplemental Ventilation: Whole-room air cleaning systems to reduce background dust levels and support OSHA/DOEHRS compliance across production areas.

Dust and Fume Control Needs in Shell and Casing Production

Shell and casing manufacturing involves extreme physical forces, heat and throughput, producing a challenging mix of metal dust, oil mist, and noxious fumes. High-temperature forging, stamping and thermal joining operations generate sticky, abrasive and often combustible particulate that can quickly clog filters if not properly managed. Effective air quality control requires a strategic mix of rugged source capture, wet collection, oil mist filtration and ambient systems designed for dirty, high-load environments.

Air Quality Challenges in Munition Shell and Casing Manufacturing

Producing precision-engineered shells and casings for military use demands rugged processes, high tolerances and total compliance with defense manufacturing standards. These environments present significant air quality challenges, especially when dealing with heavy materials, toxic metals and combustible dust in high-throughput settings.

Health Risks in Shell and Casing Fabrication

Workers in shell and casing manufacturing environments are exposed to a variety of hazardous airborne materials generated during cutting, welding, grinding and metalworking operations. Without proper dust and fume control, these exposures can contribute to serious acute and chronic health issues.

Regulatory Compliance for Munition Shell and Casing Manufacturing

Munition shell and casing manufacturers must navigate a complex regulatory landscape that includes OSHA, NFPA and military-specific standards for air quality, combustible dust and worker exposure. Facilities serving the Department of Defense (DoD) must also meet additional documentation, traceability and audit-readiness requirements tied to defense contracts.

Built for the Demands of Defense Manufacturing

At RoboVent, we understand what’s at stake in defense manufacturing environments. Our team includes veterans from across the service branches—people who have lived the mission and now bring that same commitment to protecting today’s industrial workforce.

We don’t just deliver equipment. We deliver confidence. From the shop floor to the field, we speak the language of readiness, precision and accountability. That’s why defense contractors and military partners trust us to support their most critical operations.
