Dust extractor selection for safer workshops cleaner air and better productivity

A dust extractor is more than a vacuum it is a process tool that captures airborne particles at the source. Cutting sanding grinding and transfer points release fine dust that affects visibility equipment reliability and operator comfort.

What to evaluate first

• Source points and simultaneous use

• Dust type fine abrasive sticky or fibrous

• Required capture velocity and total airflow

• Duct length fittings and static pressure

Why airflow alone is not enough

Many systems fail because airflow is sized without static pressure losses. Proper fan selection requires realistic pressure drop across ducts separators and filters.

Best practice setup

Use well positioned hoods stable duct velocities and a filter that matches dust characteristics. Siloma designs dust extractor solutions around your process data and long term serviceability.
