Dust extraction unit
December 1st 2007 A W80 Nonflam dust
extraction unit and
downdraught bench from
Carter Environmental have
been installed at Leeds
College of Building.
The booth installation
handles metal dust from
angle grinding operations by
students training in welding
techniques for heating and
ventilating systems.
Eric Cannell, health,
safety and environment
manager at the college, says
"We were attracted by the
wet extraction system the
Nonflam offers. There are no
complicated filters, it is
compact, efficient and works
very well."
Nonflam collectors use a
water-filled tank through
which dust and residues are
drawn by an impellor fan.
They are available with a
range of fans precisely rated
for individual applications –
up to 22kW in cases where it
is necessary to remove sticky
or oily dust from the metal
being treated.
Particles drawn into the
Nonflam sink to the base of
the collection tank, where
they can be removed by
raking into a container.
Automatic sludge removal
systems are also available. More articles from Carter Environmental Engrs Ltd: |
