[Case Study] Reduction of Burden through Improvement of Work Environment

Introduction of a case where effective exhaust of heat sources was achieved by installing exhaust hoods and enhancing fan capacity.

In a certain beverage manufacturer's sterilization and cleaning process, a large amount of steam and hot water is used, resulting in a sauna-like environment within the work area, which placed a significant burden on the workers. To address this, a method was devised to release the steam outdoors without spreading it within the work area. We conducted a simulation to visualize the installation of equipment based on the data and to verify whether there would be specific benefits if implemented. As a result, we successfully expelled the heat source effectively, improving the burden on the workers. [Issues] ■ The cleaning process uses a lot of steam and hot water, causing heat to accumulate in the work area. ■ As a countermeasure, a blower was installed to ventilate the indoor space and create positive pressure, but due to aging, the equipment's performance has declined, and it is not an adequate improvement measure. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
