About

• Capture:A capture hood is placed close to the dust-generating source, such as a machine, to contain and capture the particles as they are created.
• Convey:A system of ducts moves the captured dust from the hoods to the collector. The ducts must be properly sized to maintain a consistent air velocity that keeps dust in suspension and prevents clogging.
• Collect:The dust collector separates the dust from the air using various methods like bag filters or cyclonic separators. The clean air is then vented back into the workspace or outside.

• Improved health and safety:Reduces respiratory issues, allergies, and other health risks associated with inhaling harmful dust particles.
• Increased equipment longevity:Prevents dust accumulation on machinery, which can lead to wear and tear and costly repairs.
• Better air quality:Creates a cleaner, safer, and more productive working environment.
