How to design effective and functional dust extraction systems

A working environment that is healthy, clean and well-organized has a positive influence on the efficiency of the workshop and the quality of the workings. This is why it is important to rely on the advice of an experienced supplier to design a dust extraction systems that fit the needs of the company.

In this article, let's look at what factors should be considered during the design and how, in concrete terms, the design phase takes place.

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

In manufacturing companies as well as shipyards, laboratories and training centers, there is often a need to install dust extraction systems to remove toxic substances from the work area 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 per se-which therefore depend on the type of work performed-but also of available space, standards to be met, structural and architectural needs.

Choosing the best system, therefore, is not an easy decision.

For example, if the company performs small processing that does not require a high dust extraction capacity, a system that is consonant with the requirements should be installed in order to avoid, for instance, unnecessary energy expenses.

Conversely, if the company needs to extract large amount of dust, it will need a much more powerful system that is able to cope with the requirements.

An experienced partner will be able to design the dust extraction system best meets the company's characteristics and needs, developing a customized design.

How work area design should take place

When designing a working area, the designer's goal should be to make optimal use of the available space, combining technical and economic elements so that he has the right equipment without spending a fortune.

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

Customer needs

The installation of customized dust extraction system requires careful evaluation by the supplier and his full willingness to cooperate with the client, meeting his needs and requests for customization, such as dimensions, special accessories or finishes.

The dimensions of the workplace

Matching the plant to the structural limitations 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 plants are preferred, where to install them, and how to position them to optimize space.

Generally speaking, 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 way.

Once the customer's requirements have been listened to and a plan defined, there are two other important steps.

The creation of a 3D rendering

Choosing a competent and capable supplier will also provide the opportunity to make 3D graphics of the work area, so that the customer knows, before making the final decision, what the final result will look like and thus the vacuum system contextualizing the product.

The assembly and after-sales service

Our assembly and after-sales personnel given their in-depth knowledge of the product are best able to handle any unforeseen issues that may arise during assembly. For our team, however, the phase preceding assembly is also very important: assessing everything needed for perfect installation and integration of the new equipment with the work area is essential to ensure fast and flawless service.

There are several factors to consider when choosing an industrial dust vacuum cleaner, and it is often difficult to decide on your own. Relying on a team of experts is necessary to understand which dust vacuum systems are best for your company and to position them in a way that optimizes the available space and does not hinder the work of staff, ensuring maximum productivity.

WORKY creates customized projects, built to the needs and requirements of the individual client, analyzing each case thoroughly and designing ad hoc solutions that achieve the desired result.
