<h1>Dust Collection Systems: Reducing Costs for Manufacturing Businesses</h1>

When it comes to manufacturing, naturally the materials being put through cutters, canners, grinders, saws, sandblasters, routers, lathes, and other machines all produce particles of various types and sizes. And most of the larger particles and pieces are too heavy to float around, but the mid-size, small and really tiny fibers, particles, and dust do become airborne very easily and immediately create health hazards for workers. But you know all of this if you own or run a manufacturing business, and you probably have some type of dust collection system in place.

 

There are 3 simple things to consider, however, regarding dust collection and indoor air quality in a manufacturing setting that may help you significantly reduce your overall costs of running your business. The first is making sure to use HEPA filters, not just ‘dust filters’. HEPA filters, whether in commercial HVAC mounted air cleaner units or floor units are the only way to remove the toxic fine dust particles—and it’s really important to remove those because it’s the tiny particles that cause the majority more serious (and costly) health issues for workers.

 

Second, make sure whatever industrial air cleaner, dust collector, etc, you have running is using pre-filters. Why? Because pre-filters trap those larger particles and fibers before they reach your more expensive HEPA and carbon filters and prevent those main filters from clogging up and needing replacing prematurely—which costs you money prematurely. All you have to do is make sure the pre filters in your dust collector or air filtration system get replaced every 3 months and you’ll get maximum life out of your dust collection system.

 

Third, it’s a good idea to have an industrial dust filtration system attached to the HVAC as well as having several floor units. Why? Because the floor units or source capture particle extractors are removing a lot of the dust before it ever really becomes airborne (which saves your other filters and protects employees and machinery better), then you have the HVAC dust collection system removing any remaining dust. May sound like overkill, but it’s like having 2-3 pairs of shoes—they all last longer, and all perform better, longer, which saves money in the long run.

 

Not only that, but having a dual HVAC based dust removal system and floor units protects you better, too, just in case there was ever a lawsuit for air quality related injury. Having both systems makes it clear that you were doing everything you could to provide clean air, not being negligent, etc. You’ll also save on equipment maintenance, as well, since over 99% of dust is being removed, not accumulating where it shouldn’t, causing breakdowns and downtime, which cost you money, as well. One word of caution, however: be sure you buy quality dust collection units or systems that are proven, have HEPA filters and pre-filters, a strong output and a good warranty. One good brand of dust extractors to consider is Electrocorp, who has been proven for many years and preferred by many companies because of performance and value.
