A dust collection system can be a big money-saver when you consider the advantages of how it affects your bottom line. Operations that produce dust as a byproduct of their processes rely on an industrial dust collection system to:
Keeping the air in a facility clean is a difficult challenge that most industrial businesses face. The air quality directly affects the health and safety of employees, especially when it comes to containing airborne viruses such as COVID-19. There are many things that can be done to control how clean the air is including installing a dust collection system with the appropriate...
As a plant manager, you understand the importance of keeping all systems and machinery running efficiently with little to no interruptions. Downtime is not an option, as it leads to lost revenue.
Sometimes the need for an industrial dust collection system in a facility is more obvious than others. Dirt, dust, debris, gases and chemicals can be floating around in the air, causing issues for your employees as well as your equipment. An industrial dust collection system helps combat this.
If you have the right industrial dust collector for your application, keeping it maintained typically requires a small amount of time and money. However, a dust collector does require the regular maintenance and upkeep.
When there is dust in a facility, most people do not consider how it can be costing them money. It may seem like a minor detail that can be attended to when time permits, but the fact of the matter is a dust collector can positively impact your bottom line while helping to keep your facility dust-free.
Air quality control goes beyond just having a clean workspace. Industrial dust collectors not only clear the air, but they also: Improve health and safety Increase productivity Lead to better product quality Help you meet compliance regulations Help to ensure happier employees
Static pressure is often thought to be a scientific phrase that is irrelevant to operations such as dust collection. In reality, it can be one of the main determining factors in how well a dust collection system performs.
Baghouse dust collectors and cartridge dust collectors are two common types of industrial air cleaning systems that provide numerous benefits to the well-being of a facility and those working in it. A few benefits of baghouse and cartridge dust collectors include:
Choosing the right industrial dust collector is an important long-term decision. Not only do dust collectors clear the air, but they also improve employee efficiency, increase employee retention, help ensure a safe working environment and reduce equipment maintenance costs. This means that keeping your facility clean can be good for your bottom line.
Choosing the right industrial dust collection system for your manufacturing environment is an important long-term decision.
When it comes to dust collection, it can be hard to predict how user-friendly a system will be. As industrial dust collector manufacturers, our dust collector designs incorporate unique features to help our customers maintain and service the equipment as fast and as economically as possible. From metalworking applications to chemical processing, pharmaceutical and more, learn...
Having a dust-free facility is important, and dust collectors help to ensure just that. A dust collector removes pollutants from the air, providing your facility with cleaner air, which can provide numerous benefits.
Two of the most common types of industrial air cleaning systems are baghouse and cartridge dust collectors.
In certain industries — chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food and agriculture, metal and woodworking — the air you and your employees breathe in on a daily basis can be compromised. Dirt, dust, debris, gases and chemicals can be floating around in the air, causing issues for your employees, as well as your equipment. A dust collector helps combat this.
When solving a dust problem, industrial dust collector parts are somewhat of an afterthought. Truth is, they’re an important factor in determining the true cost of running a dust collector.
Thousands of industrial environments create airborne particles, ranging from sub-micron size smoke to large chunks of plastic, paper or wood. While some dust is hazardous and presents a safety issue, other dust reduces visibility and needs to be removed. Operations creating fumes and smoke use industrial dust collection systems to clear the air.
The grinding of metals and non-ferrous metals produces a fine dust that needs to be removed from the air. When metal particles from grinding and other metalworking applications become airborne, metal dust becomes a hazard.
Nearly every metalworking operation requires some form of dust collection system. When metal particles from welding, laser, grinding and other metalworking operations become airborne, metal dust becomes a hazard.
Weld smoke and fumes are a leading source of air contamination and must be captured. But as challenging as it is to capture smoke and fumes from welding applications, it can be just as difficult to find a weld smoke and fume collector to fit your manufacturing environment.
Sand, steel shot or grit, glass bead or crushed glass, aluminum oxide and coal slag. These are just a few of the most common blasting abrasives used. Abrasive grit blasting, also known as sandblasting, is the process of propelling a grit of sand-sized particles with compressed air against a surface to remove excess or unwanted materials. The grit blasting process typically...
Welding processes create fume and smoke, resulting in poor air quality. Weld smoke is a leading source of air contamination in a metal fabrication facility. Some welding applications such as galvanized metal or stainless are very harmful and must be captured. Capturing smoke and fumes from welding or cutting applications, however, can be a challenge.
Welders need to be protected from Hexavalent Chromium, also called Hex Chrome or Chrome 6. Hexavalent Chromium is the most toxic form of chromium. The potential to be overexposed during welding especially if its production welding, or full shift welding on stainless steel should be a concern.
Using the right filter matters, and the first step in determining which type of dust collector filter you should be using comes down to one main question: What application am I using it for? What type of dust collector should you be using? Let’s compare stats on the two standard types of dust collector filters:
