Podmores Help With Car Airbags

Podmores have helped a leading automotive airbag producer to handle knitted mesh airbag filters. Incorporated in airbag inflator systems, knitted mesh airbag filters use uniformly compressed knitted wire mesh elements to trap particulates from the propellant and to cool the expanding gas in the event that the airbag is deployed.

Podmores airbag component handling systemPodmores have helped a leading automotive airbag producer to handle knitted mesh airbag filters. Incorporated in airbag inflator systems, knitted mesh airbag filters use uniformly compressed knitted wire mesh elements to trap particulates from the propellant and to cool the expanding gas in the event that the airbag is deployed.

The bowl feeder Podmores designed was a mild steel fabricated unit tailor made to reduce damage or structural warping of the component. This was especially important as should the component be in any way compromised then in the event of the airbag deploying it could lead to a failure and potentially serious harm being caused to the person. The bowl feeder also took into account sound minimisation due to handling metal components.
