Nederman MikroPul at IFEX 2026: Cleaner Air. Better Castings. Lower Cost per Casting.

In a foundry, dust and emissions are not only an environmental issue, they are a cost and quality issue. Silica fines, graphite drift, and metallic oxides deposit on mould surfaces and can be entrained into the melt, driving inclusions, gas porosity (blowholes), higher rejection rates, and avoidable rework that erodes margin.

At IFEX 2026, Nederman MikroPul will be at Booth 6-D17A to discuss engineered solutions for hot, abrasive foundry conditions source capture, ducting, filtration, and controls, aligned to your process and production goals.

Why visit us at IFEX?

Foundries face the same compounding pressures: variable casting quality, sand system instability, rising energy costs, and increasing expectations to meet CPCB/SPCB requirements with a solution that is maintainable and reliable.

At our booth, we will help you identify where efficiency is being lost, then define a practical upgrade path, from targeted improvements at high-impact sources to a more consistent plant-wide architecture.

The operational reality: what dust costs a foundry

Airborne dust does not stay “in the air.” It settles on moulds, migrates across the shop floor, and can return to charge materials, creating visible outcomes: inclusions, pinholes, blowholes, surface defects, more fettling, more remelt, and more unplanned downtime.

Uncontrolled fines also destabilise sand performance. When extraction at shakeout, transfer points, cooling, and reclamation is insufficient, grain distribution and permeability drift, reducing mould consistency and process stability.

A systems approach built around your conditions

Dust is not uniform across a foundry. Temperature, dust loading, abrasiveness, and outlet limits vary by process area, so the right solution depends on where dust is generated and how it behaves.

Nederman MikroPul applies a system-engineering approach, integrating:

• Source capture to prevent dust migration
• Ducting and airflow concepts that reduce pressure loss and build-up
• Filtration technology matched to the duty (temperature/loading/abrasiveness/outlet)
• Controls and monitoring logic to stabilise performance and reduce energy use

What you can expect at our booth

• Casting quality & scrap reduction: Control fines at the source to reduce dust-related inclusions and porosity.
• Lower total cost of ownership: Improve first-pass yield, reduce rework, and protect downstream equipment.
• Predictable uptime: Robust design rules for harsh foundry processes.
• Energy efficiency: Optimised airflow, low-pressure-drop design, and VFD-controlled fans to reduce fan power and unnecessary running hours.
• Technology matched to your process: Different filtration concepts for different duty conditions.

FS Flat-Bag Filter system (reverse-air cleaning): For harsh conditions where plants want a robust, low-maintenance solution, the FS Flat-Bag Filter uses a reverse-air cleaning concept designed to operate without compressed-air pulse cleaning, helping reduce utilities dependency while supporting stable performance.

Stronger source capture through EuroEquip (now part of the Nederman Group): We combine MikroPul system engineering with EuroEquip’s foundry process and hood design capabilities, including engineered jet hoods designed to capture emissions close to the process, improving collection efficiency and reducing dust migration.
