How to recognize the right dust extractor for your company's needs
In industrial environments, where sanding or sanding operations take place, the dust produced forms a volatile cloud that, if not properly vacuumed, not only comes into contact with technicians, but also settles on surfaces, tools and products.
An effective dust extractor must suck in volatile materials directly at the source.
Only in this way will it be possible to prevent these dusts from dispersing, making the working environment unhealthy and endangering the health of the operators.
Suction must be centralized and take place at the same time as sanding.
In this way, painting will be done in a single operation, ensuring the highest quality.
Before investing in a plant, it is essential to be clear about the company's needs and expectations, based on:
- the type of work carried out on a daily basis
- the spaces available
- the required suction frequency
Stationary vacuum cleaner systems, which can also take up a lot of space, are not the ideal solution for companies where there is no dedicated area for dust-producing activities to be eliminated.
In this case, it is best to choose a mobile or stand-alone workstation that not only takes up little space, but can also be moved easily to where it is needed.
In addition, mobile dust extractors do not require any special design because they can be integrated in different rooms and be moved without any problems.
Installing a stationary system in the workshop, on the other hand, requires the supplier to carry out a careful study of the space, and then plan the design of the room in detail to ensure that order and freedom of movement are maintained.
A competent supplier will provide you with a 3D plan of the work area, so that the customer knows, before making the final decision, what the end result will look like, and thus the vacuum cleaner system, contextualising the product.
There are other, more specific elements to be evaluated, let's see them below.
Turbines
WORKY's DT series turbines are designed to vacuum and filter sanding dust with specific application in body shops.
The turbine's suction capacity sucks up the dust, sucks it through the tubes to its high-efficiency filter, which retains 99.9 per cent of it.
When dealing with potentially explosive dust, regulations require the use of ATEX-certified turbines.
Piping
If you decide to install a stationary industrial vacuum cleaner, aluminium pipes are best, because they prevent dust from sticking and accumulating on the inner surface of the pipe.
The type of service unit
The service units can be wall-mounted or wall-mounted and possibly integrated into the panels of the preparation area. The choice of the best option depends on the available space and the specific requirements of the work area. Here again, therefore, it is essential to have a partner who can support customers in choosing the best solution for the workshop.
The choice of the most suitable solution depends on the study of space and the specific needs of each work area.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a dust extractor and it is often difficult to decide without the help of an experienced partner.
Relying on a competent supplier is essential to:
- understand which dust extraction equipment is best for your company and how to position it to optimise the available space
- not hinder the work of staff, ensuring maximum productivity
WORKY realises customised projects, tailored to the needs and requirements of the individual customer, analysing each case in depth and designing ad hoc solutions that achieve the desired result.
