How to design effective and functional dust extraction systems

Written by Lino Di Betta | March 14 2023

A working environment that is healthy and clean, but also tidy and well organised has a positive influence on the efficiency of the workshop and the quality of work. This is why it is important to rely on the advice of an experienced supplier to design dust extraction systems that suits the company's needs.

In this article, we look at what factors need to be considered during the design and how the design phase actually takes place.

Dust extraction systems: how to choose the most suitable for your company

In manufacturing companies as well as shipyards, laboratories and training centres, there is often a need to install dust extraction systems to remove toxic substances from the working area in order to comply with current regulations.

Each type of company has very specific needs, which must be taken into account during planning. Not only suction requirements, which depend on the type of work carried out, but also the available space, standards to be met, structural and architectural needs.

Choosing the best system, therefore, is not a trivial decision.

For example, if the company carries out small processing operations that do not require a high dust extraction capacity, it is necessary to install a system that is in line with the requirements, in order to avoid, for instance, unnecessary energy costs.

Conversely, if the company needs to extract a large amount of dust, it will need a dust extraction system with a power that matches the requirements.

An experienced partner will design the dust extraction system that best meets the company's characteristics and needs, developing a tailor-made project.

How the work area should be designed

When designing a work area, the designer's goal should be to optimise the available space, combining technical and economic elements, so that the right installation can be achieved without spending a fortune.

To do this, there are two main aspects he must consider.

Customer needs

The installation of a dust extraction systems requires a careful evaluation by the supplier and his full willingness to collaborate with the customer, meeting his needs and customisation requests, such as dimensions, special accessories or finishes.

The dimensions of the workplace

Adapting the installation to the structural limits is vital to the success of the project. A good partner should carefully study the floor plans of the area to understand which types of equipment are preferred, where to install them and how to position them to optimise space.

In general, fixed dust extraction systems are recommended in cases where dust-generating work takes place in a well-defined area.

Mobile systems, on the other hand, are usually suggested when there is no dedicated area in the company for such work, but one moves from one point to another in an agile and fast manner.

The possibility of realising a 3D render

By choosing a competent and capable supplier, you will also have the possibility of realising 3D graphics of the working area, so that the customer knows, before making the final decision, what the final result will look like and thus see the dust extraction system in context.

Assembly and after-sales service

Our assembly and after-sales team, given their in-depth knowledge of the product, are able to handle any unforeseen events that may arise during the installation stage. For our team, however, the phase preceding assembly is also very important: assessing everything that is needed for a perfect installation and integration of the new equipment with the working area is crucial to guarantee a fast and precise service.

There are several factors to consider when choosing an industrial dust extraction system, and it is often difficult to decide independently. Relying on a team of experts is necessary to understand which dust extraction systems is the best for your company and to position it in such a way to optimise the available space and not hinder the work of your staff, guaranteeing maximum productivity.
