Dust collection

Many industrial processes generate contamination to the air or in the facilities in form of dust and particles. Airborne dust and fine particles can be hazardous to the human health, and it´s important to make sure they are extracted at the source before it reaches the breathing zone. If having dust and particles spread in the facilities proper housekeeping equipment is needed.
Typical sources are dust from cutting, grinding, sanding, handling of powders in food, and pharmaceutical industries. Textile, wood and composite working may also release dust and fibers that are harmful to human lungs and can cause allergic reactions or even worse by penetrating the skin.
Extraction arms are especially suitable for light airborne dust and fumes and cover a wide variety of applications. A typical application is when handling different types of powders or fumes. Welding applications, bakeries, laboratories are some of many examples where arms are a good solution. The advantage with arms are that they are fully flexible in all directions and easy to position, thus covering a large working area and/or serve several working stations. The arms are connected to a fan and dust collector system removing the contaminants from the extracted air so that it can be returned to the atmosphere or recycled without negative effects.
For applications like cutting, grinding and sanding, on-tool extraction is the most efficient way to capture dust and particles. The dust is extracted at high speed directly from the tool, thus avoiding extracting large air volumes and above all the pollutant is not spread around in the room. On-tool solutions also are also flexible, allowing the operators to work over larger areas.
With the air purification tower solution is the perfect complement or choice if source extraction is not a satisfying option where ducting cannot be installed, welding on large objects, in tight spaces or when capture at source is not practical.
