It is essential to have a high-performance sanding dust extraction system in a body shop to guarantee high-level results for subsequent painting processes. What is the best choice for a car body shop extraction system? Learn which is best in this article. Dust creating in sanding is harmful from different points of view: it is harmful to health and, if not removed by an adequate extraction system when dispersed in the air, it can compromise vehicle paint results.
This dust, if not captured during sanding, can reach and settle on surfaces inside the preparation area, compromising cleanliness, order and efficiency in the workplace.
With an adequate extraction system, dust can be removed directly from the source: using flexible hoses connected to orbital sanders, dust is conveyed either directly to the mobile extraction unit or turbine, in the latter case passing through the various components of a stationary extraction system.
According to actual work needs, body shops can choose between stationary and mobile extraction systems. The preference for one type of body shop extractor fan and another may depends on various factors, including the frequency and intensity of sanding. Let's find out how to choose the most suitable extraction system.
When to choose a stationary car body shop extractor fan
A stationary extraction system is ideal for body shops with several workstations, close to each other and defined in the space, where sanding is frequent and lengthy.
How WORKY stationary extraction systems are made
Stationary extraction systems are made up of:
- Turbines with different power outputs
- Multifunction control units and panels;
- Arms with control units;
- Hoses;
- Accessories and various components.
You can design an entirely customized system, in compliance with specific needs, optimizing the maximum performance and spaces available in the body shop with WORKY.
When to choose a mobile car body shop extractor fan
A mobile extraction system may be the solution for body shops with few and decentralized workstations, where sanding is occasional and for short periods of time.
Recommended WORKY extraction systems
For body shops with this type of need, we can recommend stand-alone systems with wheels which offer performance and ergonomics. Also in this case, every body shop extractor fan can meet different needs. Let's take a closer look.
DMOB2 carriage-mounted dust extraction system
A simple and high-performance unit to extract and filter dust from one or two sanders at the same time.
The carriage-mounted extractor fan with 1 + 1 1000W motors, power adjustment selector to exploit both motors equally, 2 230V Schuko electrical sockets (contact our sales office without obligation in case of requests for different sockets), 2 quick couplings for compressed air, cellulose bag filter and post filtration unit.
Furthermore, one-arm (DMOBSS1) or two-arm (DMOBSS2) suspension kits are available for this unit.
DT2M stand-alone dust extraction system
A heavy-duty wheeled unit to extract and filter dust from one or two sanders at the same time.
The carriage-mounted unit is equipped with a 2 HP single-phase side channel turbine, cartridge filter with automatic filter cleaning system and container with dust collection bag.
DMOB1EXacarriage-mounted dust extraction unit
Carriage-mounted ATEX configuration unit to extract potentially explosive sanding dust or to work in environments regulated by explosion or flammability risk classes. Extraction is obtained through the compressed air venturi system.
Used with pneumatic orbital sanders.
