Frequently Asked Questions
What types of dust collection systems do you design?We design and integrate custom dust collection systems for grinding, cutting, sanding, welding, foundry, and material-handling operations. Systems can include baghouses, cartridge collectors, ductwork, air knives, enclosures, and fully automated controls.
Can you design a system for hazardous or fine dust (including silica)?Yes. We design systems specifically to capture fine and hazardous dusts, including silica and metal particulate, while meeting OSHA and applicable EPA requirements. Airflow, filtration media, and capture points are engineered for effective containment and operator safety.
Can dust collection systems be integrated with robotic or automated equipment?Absolutely. We regularly integrate dust collection with robotic grinding cells, machine tending systems, and automated production lines to ensure dust is captured directly at the source.
How do you ensure the system is properly sized?Each system is engineered based on process requirements, airflow calculations, dust characteristics, duty cycle, and facility layout. Proper sizing ensures effective dust capture without excessive energy consumption.
Can you design dust collection for continuous operation?Yes. We design systems for continuous and high-duty operation, including redundancy options such as dual fans or multiple collectors to minimize downtime.
Do you provide controls and monitoring for dust collection systems?Yes. We integrate PLC-based controls, differential pressure monitoring, alarms, and interlocks to ensure reliable operation and provide visibility into system performance.
