INSIGHTS & UPDATES
From The Field
Expert advice on OSHA regulations, filtration tech, and productivity improvements.
Woodworking: Managing sawdust and combustible dust risk
Sawdust is an inevitable by-product of woodworking, but left unmanaged, it can quickly become something far more serious.
How to ensure effective at-source welding fume extraction using extraction arms for local exhaust ventilation
In many welding applications, at-source extraction is the most effective solution for capturing fumes directly where they are generated.
Dust Collection Basics: Keeping Operations Clean, Safe, and Productive
Every shop fights downtime. A CNC stalls, a forklift breaks. We all know the drill. Dust is different. It doesn’t stop you with a bang. It creeps.
Why Automotive and Battery Manufacturers Are Ditching Leaky Duct Systems for US Tubing
In manufacturing, ductwork problems rarely explode all at once. They start small—a joint loosens, a little oil mist sneaks out, or a vapor drifts somewhere it shouldn’t.
Air-to-Cloth Ratio: The Most Misunderstood Number in Dust Collection
When facilities compare dust collectors, two numbers usually dominate the conversation: airflow (CFM) and price. Both matter. But neither tells you how efficiently the collector uses its filter media.
When to Replace Your Dust Collector (Not Just the Filters)
When a dust collector starts underperforming, the first instinct is usually to replace the filters. New bags, new cartridges, reset the differential pressure gauge, and get back to production. And most of the time, that's the right call.
Pharmaceutical Dust Collection: Strategies for Oral Solid Dose Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Oral solid dose (OSD) pharmaceutical manufacturing can generate hazardous dusts that pose risks to health, worker and facility safety, and may cause cross-contamination.
How Dust Collectors Maintain Safe Industrial Facilities-Expert Insights
Process manufacturing often generates fine dust particles as a byproduct of normal operations.
