LEV Services for Print and Packaging
Professional testing and servicing of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems to help print and packaging facilities meet HSE requirements and control hazardous particulates and fumes.
Fume and Dust Control for the Printing Industry
LEV Testing for Print and Packaging Facilities
Modern print rooms and packaging plants rely on effective Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) to control airborne paper dust, fumes, and ink mists generated during high-speed production and finishing.
We provide professional LEV testing, servicing, and ongoing support for the print sector nationwide, helping you stay compliant with COSHH, reduce fire risks, and maintain the clean environment necessary for high-quality output.
Supporting Safe and High-Quality Print Operations
Why Do Print and Packaging Facilities Need LEV?
Recycling environments generate high levels of airborne contaminants from continuous mechanical processing. Without properly tested and maintained LEV systems, these can present serious health, fire, and explosion risks.
Ink Mist and Solvent Fumes
- Extraction of volatile organic compounds from litho, flexo, and gravure processes
- Improved air quality for operatives working near open ink fountains or drying ovens
Paper, Cardboard, and Tissue Dust
- Control of fine “paper fluff” at slitters, cutters, and folders
- Prevention of dust settling on wet ink or sensitive electronic components.
Trimming and Waste Extraction
- Effective capture of off-cuts and trim at the point of generation
- Reduced manual cleaning and machinery downtime
Combustible Dust
- Mitigation of fire and explosion risks associated with concentrated fine paper dust.
- Support for COSHH compliance and HSE expectations
Regular LEV testing ensures your extraction systems are performing as intended, protecting both your people and your high-value print equipment.
