Despite implementing rigorous safety protocols and advanced manufacturing processes, traditional dust control methods for composites and advanced materials manufacturing consistently fall short. , (Winston-Salem, N.C., U.S.) with its BarrierAire technology, seeks to fill this gap.

BarrierAire creates continuous thermal-current barriers that actively prevent dust from rising and accumulating in overhead spaces. This isn’t just dust control, SonicAire points out, but rather comprehensive dust prevention through advanced engineering principles specifically designed for high-performance manufacturing environments. Accumulation of combustible dust in overhead spaces threatens safety, compliance and productivity.

SonicAire begins with a thorough analysis of a customer’s production environment, specific dust characteristics and unique operational challenges. Using computational fluid dynamics modeling, its engineers determine the precise placement and configuration of fans for maximum effectiveness and complete coverage.

From this detailed data, SonicAire develops a custom-engineered solution tailored to the facility’s exact requirements. Once implemented, the company says its system provides guaranteed, proactive, continuous protection without ever interrupting critical manufacturing operations.

The end results are complete elimination of routine overhead cleaning, reduced maintenance costs and downtime, enhanced regulatory compliance and inspection readiness, uninterrupted production and protected innovation spaces and improved workplace environment and employee retention.
