Summary for Metal Dust Collectors
Metal Dust Collectors - Improve Air Quality and Reduce Debris
Dust collection is essential for any busy shop, and it is especially important to tame metal dust due to the potential for ignition as well as health concerns. Our metal dust collectors, downdraft tables, and fume extractors remove dangerous particles and leave your shop safer and healthier. Each unit is equipped with efficient filters to catch all of the unhealthy material and leave only clean air.
An effective metal dust collector is essential for tackling harmful metal particles, reducing the risk of breathing in debris or experiencing a damaging dust fire. Our product selection also includes downdraft tables with powerful suction to keep your work area as clean as possible, and fume extractors that use efficient filtration to purify shop air.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is it important to have separate wood and metal dust collection?
It is important to keep wood and metal dust separate for several reasons:
- Metal particles can ignite fires if combined with wood - wood dust is highly combustible and can explode easily when suspended in the air within a dust collection system.
- Metal debris is very abrasive and can easily damage and wear down filters, impellers, and ducts designed for wood dust.
- Metal and wood dust require different levels of filtration - wood is more fibrous and clogs filters, while metal dust is heavier but can contaminate filters and bags.
- Safety guidelines set by OSHA and NFPA recommend separate wood and metal dust collection for fire prevention.
What are the differences between a fume extractor and metal downdraft table?
Primary Use
Fume Extractor - Removes smoke, fumes, and fine dust from the air (not large particles).
Downdraft Table - Collects dust, sparks, and metal particles kicked up during machine operation.
Collection Method
Fume Extractor - Uses an arm or hood to pull air in through the filters.
Downdraft Table - Pulls air downward through the work surface.
Filtration
Fume Extractor - Uses HEPA and multi-stage filters to trap harmful odors and fumes.
Downdraft Table - Uses metal mesh or cartridge filters to collect debris; our heaviest-duty model offers HEPA filtration.
