Fume & Dust Extraction
Dust and particles are generated in many different ways. Typical sources include dust from cutting, grinding, sanding, and the handling of powders in the 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, penetrate the skin.
Industrial Dust Collection
The CS Air team can provide industrial dust collection system that helps you adhere to exposure limit threshold values set by OSHA and reduce employee sick time by capturing contaminants to prevent your employees’ exposure.
Whether you need to avoid indoor dust accumulation in an existing building or new construction, we’ll work with you to configure a system that helps keep your facility clean, improves product quality, elongates the life of your manufacturing equipment, reduces manufacturing downtime for equipment repairs, and saves you money on your energy bills by eliminating exhaust fans.
There are at least four important types of solutions for handling dust and particles:
- Extraction arms
- On-tool extraction
- Cleaning applications
- General air purification
Fume Extraction
Exposure to welding or thermally generated fume is a serious health and safety issue facing today’s manufacturers. Health risks range from mild illnesses and sickness to long-term conditions like cancer. Uncontrolled weld fumes impact factories by infiltrating machinery, causing downtime, and loss of productivity. Protecting workers from fumes, dust, and smoke common in welding processes is best accomplished by capturing it at the source to prevent it from entering the worker breathing zone. The benefits of a properly designed fume control solution include:
- Improved work environment
- Protection of worker health
- Protection of equipment and production
- Reduced production downtime and improved profit
Wherever it is a viable solution, it has been proven that extraction at the source is the most efficient method of capturing and removing welding and similar fumes. By using this method, the risk of the welder or operator being subject to hazardous fumes is minimized.
