A foundry exhaust scrubber is a critical air pollution control system designed to capture and remove harmful emissions, particulate matter, and toxic gases generated during metal casting, melting, and molding processes. These scrubbers use wet or dry filtration methods to neutralize pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and metal fumes, ensuring cleaner air and regulatory compliance. Foundry exhaust scrubbers help minimize environmental impact, protect workers from hazardous exposure, and prevent equipment corrosion. By effectively controlling emissions, they enhance workplace safety, improve air quality, and support sustainable industrial operations in foundries and metal processing facilities.
