Philadelphia Penn The Ballinger Co. Architects and Engineers APAPART FROM THE USUAL CONSIDERATIONS for efficient processing layouts the designers of this asbestos dryer felt plant were faced with a major problem of controlling asbestos dust Uncontrolled the dust accumulates on all projections and rough surfaces in process areas and presents a silicosis health hazard to employees Dependable control of temperature and humidity is also vital in manufacturing the felts The goal of the owners was to construct a plant which would combine production efficiency and product control with pleasant and healthy working conditions The resulting design succeeds in providing good solutions to these problems within a neat attractive employ- structure Especial attention was given to the employ- ees welfare even to selection of a site near the workers homes although it was known that the deeply filled ground would require pilings Other provisions include a parking area pleasant locker shower and toilet rooms good lighting and a general purpose room for lunch and recrcation Asbestos dust is removed from segre gated process areas by a carefully planned system of hoods ducts and fans together with tunnels under the floor The dust is then conveyed to electro filters and to a cyclone tower where it is salvaged for other use A portion of the air is reconditioned for recirculation Separate comfort air conditioning is provided in the office areas Joseph Molitor Photos The one story plant is surfaced with bands of light and dark brick lime- stone trim polychrome terracotta at main door Flat roof employs special regulated drainage discharge system tel "= = [pa SIZING SIZING OVENS H es is ss t4 rte 2 q WINDERS [f mr it | eivirgie ha la ; BOBBIN BOBBIN WINDERS wa] STOCK I ] it al t x WETTING OUT K. 7 eBP 9 x * a __ SS rear pay 4 7 ae ee a we a | CA,RDS| * PICKERS COLECTOR COLLECTOR Pp BLOG TRUSERMR be eh SERVICES in . monorail monorail y RAW & FINISHED MATERIALS BOILER RM BOILER .
