Why Ambient Dust Collectors?

Posted on January 29, 2012 by rebekahf

It is ideal to capture dust right from the source of any dust producing process. But not all dust can be captured this way. The smallest particles will be thrown into the air, causing them to become airborne throughout the surrounding atmosphere of the facility. This is why ambient dust collectors are needed. Industrial dust collection systems are actively at work at the point of dust origin, utilizing suction hoods attached to ducting over the work area to suck up the dust and bring it to the central dust collector to be effectively dealt with. Industrial settings need a workhorse of a dust collector plus the refining power of Continue reading →

Or, in the case of a metal grinding operation, the shavings that get scattered during the grinding process need Continue reading →
