Greater environmental demands are obeyed
In the course of the 1980s, a development
towards increased protection of the environment
and thereby better cleaning of the exhaust
air from Niro’s plants is begun. Wet cleaning
methods are used in the beginning, but new
demands on water quality make the transition to
dry cleaning practical. An independent bag filter
technology is developed by Niro and becomes
an important part of the delivery program.
Increased competition
Globalization, which starts in the early
1990’s, brings increased competition,
which is countered by further standardization
of components and plant concepts.
With increased interest in Niro’s plants,
especially from the Far East and China,
local manufacturing starts to further
reduce costs.
Reduction of dust
From the 1980s, the demand by product manufacturers
for reduced dust when handling
powder increases. Niro’s customers want
plants that manufacture less dusty products.
Af Jens Thousig Møller
This applies to a wide spectrum of powders,
such as dyestuffs for textiles, chemicals for
agriculture and wine growing, and additives
to rubber in shoes and car tires etc.
