How to choose the most suitable industrial dust extractor?

Equipping oneself with an effective industrial dust extractor is the first step in making the work environment healthy, safeguarding workers and enabling them to perform every task to the fullest and without exposing themselves to risks.

In today's article, let's see how to choose the most suitable dust extractor.

Looking for an industrial dust extractor? Here are the tips

There are many types of industrial dust extractors on the market nowadays, whose function is to take toxic substances from the work area and prevent them from spreading inside. Thanks to special filters, the unhealthy air is cleared of dust and particulates, making it clean and breathable.

There are several areas where these technologies find application, for example:

• manufacturing companies
• shipyards
• Machine shops, railway workshops, etc.
• laboratories and training center

The first fundamental point to remember is that each type of company has very specific characteristics, which distinguish it from others both in terms of the type of work performed and the need for suction: that is why there is no such thing as a universal industrial dust extractor!

It is important to assess well the specifics of your company before investing in a system.

If the dust extractor is designed ad hoc, it will not only be more effective but also improve the efficiency of the company.

First of all, it will be calibrated to the power needs and the type of work being done (there is no point in buying a system that is too powerful if the needs do not require it and vice versa), but also to the space available.

Indeed, it must be kept in mind that, for example, a fixed dust extractor is not optimal if there is no area specifically dedicated to the activities that produce dust to be removed.

On the other hand, if there is a need to move the industrial dust extractor from one part of the company to another, it is better to opt for a mobile or stand-alone solution: let's see them in detail.

• Commercially available mobile industrial vacuum cleaners are designed to perform their function without any special design tricks. Being very flexible, they can be integrated into different environments, always ensuring the best standards of efficiency in vacuuming dust.
  
  
• Fixed industrial dust extractors, on the other hand, require a careful study of the available space before installation: in fact, it is advisable to determine from the design stage which components to use to optimize their effectiveness, in relation to the needs of the company's specification.

With regard to fixed systems, the following should be evaluated:

1. Choosing the best turbine for the type of task at hand: is it better to have a single or double blower turbine? ATEX version or not? Single blower turbines are suitable for situations where a fixed extraction power is needed for up to 5 operators at the same time; the turbine with two blowers allows the turbine power to be doubled as needed, ensuring energy efficiency and making it the ideal solution where more power is required. As for the ATEX version, this is necessary for the suction of potentially explosive dust, as mandated by current ATEX regulations.
   
   
2. Piping: which is the best? For a stationary industrial vacuum cleaner, aluminum piping is best, as it prevents dust from sticking and accumulating on the inner surface of the pipe.
   
   
3. The most suitable type of service unit: wall-mounted or hanging? Integrated into the panels of the preparation area? Again, choosing the best solution depends on studying the space and the specific needs of each work zone.

There are several factors to consider when choosing an industrial dust extractor, and it is often difficult to decide on your own.

Relying on a team of experts is necessary to understand what type of equipment is best for your company and to position it in a way that optimizes the space available and does not hinder the work of staff, ensuring maximum productivity.
