Contains dust over large areas

To control flour and ingredients dust
at the point of weighing, Martins
Foods Group in Manchester has
invested in two 4m downflow booths
from Flextraction, designed to contain
dust over large areas of emission.

The company’s own modular
design, 304 stainless steel downflow
booths with an acoustically enclosed
fan to minimise overall noise level,
operate on a re-circulatory airflow
principle with a clean evenly
distributed down flow of air at
0.5m/second. Extraction is via low
level primary roughing filters and
secondary bag filters . This then
provides down flow via ceiling
mounted 99.95% filtration efficient
HEPA (High Efficiency Particle
Arrestor) filters, suppressing any dust
downwards away from the operator’s
breathing zone.
