Many companies don’t realize that they must prepare their internal and external areas to accommodate for the change of seasons. Therefore, through this blog, The ATMOS360 TEAM will provide you with 5 ESSENTIAL steps for keeping your areas Eco friendly and Fall ready. First we must define what is meant by Eco-Friendly. Eco Friendly means no harm to environment, which can be possible by using efficient equipment to clean air by removing airborne particles, therefore improving air quality.                          5 Ways to keep your areas Eco-Friendly and Fall Ready!   1.)  Check and Replace Your Air Filters - We recommend changing your air filters every 90 days in order to maintain good air quality. (Read more now) 2.) Schedule Annual Air System Inspection -We recommend doing this, preventive maintenance inspection annually/ semi annually. To schedule Annual service contact En...

Atmos360 understands the value of good employees As an employer, Atmos360 understands the value of good employees. A workforce built of people on whom you can count to get the job done, meet (and exceed) goals and who take your business and its mission seriously is the backbone of any organization. Without our employees, we’d be doing every task and wearing every hat our business needs – for better or worse. With that said, Atmos360 congratulates its employee’s every month and for August 2018, we recognize Daniel Hockersmith on being Employee Of The Month. When asked what he loves about his work Hockersmith said: “It is a great pleasure to be recognized for the work that I do. Everyone at Atmos360, Inc. is truly responsible for my recognition.  I appreciate the camaraderie and fellowship that we have here at Atmos360, and I am looking forward to building on the relationships to help Atmos360 grow and become a major player in the filtration indu...

 Paper Trap vs. Venus Fly Trap A typical dust collection hood on a paper converting line is designed to collect small particles of dust. During the process to make toilet paper, larger chunks of tissue get torn off and sucked into the hoods. These large chunks are then taken to a dust collector (RACF or bag house) and will clog or blind the filter media. When this happen it increase the number of times the filters have to be maintained or cleaned. How do we keep this from happening? To increase the service life of the collector we have developed a Paper Trap (see figure below) to catch these larger pieces before they get on the media. Much like a Pre-Separator before a drum filter the Paper Trap would have a screen/mesh housed inside a cabinet that goes before the collector. When the screen becomes clogged a pressure indicator would rotate the screen down and empty the large chunks into a hopper and tote below. This cleaning cycle will last a few minutes then return t...

Why you don't need explosion protection on drum filters We at  ATMOS360   are in the business of engineering and manufacturing dust collection systems and equipment. As we develop the scope for new systems, as well as upgrades to existing systems, we must evaluate the options for the use of a baghouse filter versus a drum filter. The Need for Explosion Protection One important factor is the need for explosion protection. The cost of an explosion protection system can add as much as $100,000 to the cost of filtration equipment. The need to provide explosion protection on a baghouse filter is typically straightforward and, in most cases, is needed. Drum filters, however, are a different animal and for some installations, explosion protection is not required. Typically drum filters have rounded floors and inlet ductwork designed to provide a low sweeping inlet. This keeps the floor clean and minimizes the amount of material within the dirty air plenum. Based ...

Drum Filter vs Baghouse: 5 elements to consider when determining the best system for your plant When considering a drum filter or a baghouse, one should consider the following elements to determine what type of system is best for the plant. Application In manufacturing, there are countless applications. When looking at the application of baghouses verses drum filters one of the primary elements to consider is the dust being processed.  Drum filters were initially developed for the textiles industry, which produces long fiber dust.  Therefore, if your process generates dust with long fibers then a drum filter may be what you’re looking for.  However, if your process generates small spherical dust then a baghouse may better suit the application.   Air to Cloth Ratio & Static Pressure Drop A typical drum filter operates at 100:1 air to cloth ratio versus a baghouse containing 6 filters with a 10:1 air to cloth ratio.  Air to cloth rat...

Three Benefits of an Air Filtration System We wouldn’t be in business if we didn’t fill a need, and for  ATMOS360 , that need is the need for cleaner air, safer air and healthier air.  Haven’t you heard?  It is the ultimate commodity in 2016. Dust doesn’t sit too pretty on the lungs, and in some cases, can, over time, lead to   any number of dust-related diseases   such as asbestosis, silicosis, and farmer’s lung, to name a few. So what we do serves a purpose, and aligns well with our mission to provide leading-edge, timely and cost-effective air systems solutions to our clients. In reducing dust, our air filtration systems make for a more health-friendly workplace.  Here are three ways that an air filtration system can benefit your facility.  Air filtration systems can: 1. Improve air quality   If you’ve ever been covered in hives just minutes after starting your work day, then you understand how even something as min...

Quite often in the context of S.T.E.M (Science. Technology. Engineering. Math), you might read stories or see initiatives from the standpoint of the S.T.E.M working professionals, students, mentors, affinity groups, etc. However, very seldom might you have an opportunity to hear from a S.T.E.M impacted Business Owner, more specifically, a Black Woman Business Owner, with over 30 years of experience. As is the case with Mrs. Icy Williams. Through writing this blog, I came to realize, in comparison, how little visibility there is around the Business Owners of S.T.E.M impacted markets and wondered, how we as a society could do better in recognizing and learning from this wealth of knowledge that seemingly goes unnoticed. With this in mind, I took a particular interest in learning more about Icy Williams' journey, including lessons learned, from the perspective of  Owning S.T.E.M. Cincinnati, Ohio, based  ATMOS360  is an Engineering, Design...
