# How to choose a car body shop extractor fan

***![come scegliere aspiratore](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/come%20scegliere%20aspiratore-Nov-04-2022-12-20-37-5190-PM.jpg?width=1200&name=come%20scegliere%20aspiratore-Nov-04-2022-12-20-37-5190-PM.jpg)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](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-sanding-dust/fixed-systems-for-extracting-dust) 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](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-sanding-dust/movable-systems-for-extracting-dust) 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**](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/extraction-of-sanding-dust/stand-alone-systems-for-extracting-sanding-dust/carriage-mounted-system-for-extracting-sanding-dust-of-1-of-2-sanding-tools-dmob2) 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.

![](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/aspiratore-carrozzeria-dmob1ex_i7908-k6ZQYNl-w600-l1-3-2.jpg)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.
