Ductwork for Dust Collection & Process Ventilation
Dust Collection Cleans Workplace Environments for Worker Safety and Machinery Efficiency

Industrial ventilation, sometimes known as Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), is the process of moving clean air into a work environment and exhausting contaminated air out. In its simplest form, an industrial ventilation or dust collection system can be described as similar to a vacuum cleaner. The dust collection ductwork is the hose and wand that draws the dust away from the machine creating pollutants. The dust collector is the vacuum cleaner, filtering dust, and returning clean air to the building or outside. 

Why Have Dust collection:
  • Enhances worker safety, providing a cleaner, healthier work environment
  • Helps eliminate the risk of fires and possibly explosions, created by the buildup of “combustible dust”
  • May be required to comply with occupational exposure regulations / guidelines (ex. OSHA, ACGIH, NFPA)
  • Promotes greater machinery efficiency due to a cleaner environment
