Dust Extraction

Choice of the correct model of dust collector is essential for any closed blasting system. The removal of airborne particles from the environment of a blast chamber is essential to maintain efficient operation. Savings made by cutting cost at this point will only lead to reduced efficiency, early failure of the system and higher running costs.

Factors to consider whilst choosing a dust collector are:

• Correct air speed through the blast room prevents settlement of airborne particles in the work area.
• The direction in which the air flows through the blast room is critical to the process. Correctly sized and positioned air inlets and extraction duct work ensure that first class ventilation is achieved.
• The filtration area is the surface area of the filter material within the dust collector. It is essential that the ratio between filtration area and air volume is correct to prevent premature failure of the extraction system.
