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.
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.
Stationary extraction systems are made up of:
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.
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.
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.
