Community questions and answers on industrial safety and dust control.

Good afternoon, we are reviewing the IRAM 3570 standard for our food plant in Córdoba. Does anyone have experience with ATEX zone classification for flour dust? We need to determine if a milling area should be Zone 20 or 21. I appreciate references to consultants who have worked in similar industries.

Hello, in our cement factory we implemented a localized extraction system with capture hoods at transfer points. We reduced particle concentration by 65% according to hygiene measurements. If needed, I can share the duct layout and fan specifications.

Does anyone have the schedule for the industrial ventilation conference in metallurgical plants? I heard there is a talk on predictive maintenance of bag filters. Can it be downloaded from the website or is it sent by email?

I recommend the regulatory workshop given at the last edition. Very practical for understanding SRT requirements on combustible dust. They left a checklist guide for internal audits that I use in my plant.

What the Plants Say

Engineers and safety managers share their experience with the conference and dust control systems.

Julia Adame

Head of Safety, Metalúrgica del Sur

Extraction

“The conference gave us concrete guidelines to redesign dust collection on the cutting line. We reduced particle concentration by 60% in three months.”

Olivia Holguín

Process Engineer, Alimentos del Plata

Regulations

“The workshops on IRAM 3570 were practical. We were able to adjust the ATEX zone classification at the flour plant and pass the audit without any observations.”

Martín Ledesma

Maintenance Supervisor, Cervecería Norte

Ventilation

“The case study on general ventilation in silos prevented a line shutdown. We implemented the recommendations and respirable dust levels dropped by half.”

Roberto Farías

Operations Manager, Maderera del Litoral

Design

“The hood and duct plans they shared served as the basis for the new extraction system at the sawmill. The performance exceeded expectations.”

Laura Giménez

Hygiene Coordinator, Laboratorios del Centro

Filtration

“The manufacturer fair allowed us to compare filtration equipment live. We chose a baghouse system that reduced maintenance and improved indoor air quality.”

Diego Ramos

Environmental Manager, Cementos del Oeste

Compliance

“We obtained the templates for dust control operating procedures. We adapted them to our plant and passed the provincial inspection without fines.”

What Industry Professionals Say

Leading industrial safety companies already trust our conference to train their teams and stay updated on dust control regulations.

⭐ 4.8 / 5.0 +320 attendees

In the last edition, more than 320 professionals from industrial plants participated in technical talks and practical workshops on ventilation and local exhaust ventilation.

— Julia Adame, Safety Engineer

“The conference gave me concrete tools to update the exhaust system at our food plant. The case studies were very useful.”
🏭 45 companies represented +80 % retention

80% of the companies that attended in 2024 have already confirmed their participation for the next edition. A clear indicator of the event's technical value.

— Olivia Holguín, Operations Director

“We attended with the entire maintenance team. The focus on IRAM regulations and hood design helped us reduce risks at the plant.”
📋 12 technical exhibitors +40 hours of content

We have manufacturers of exhaust systems, industrial safety consultants, and specialists in factory ventilation. More than 40 hours of lectures and roundtables.

— Carlos Méndez, Hygiene and Safety Manager

“The quality of the exhibitors and the technical depth of the presentations exceeded my expectations. We will return next year.”
