production operations using dust collection systems

production operations using  dust collection systems
a dust collection system is essential for any industry that produces gas, dust, overspray or other forms of particulate matter. once thought to be just one part of a woodworking shop, these highly technical and efficient units have become commonplace in a wide variety of industrial processes.
processes using  dust collection systems
most operations using dust collection systems are primarily safety related as few operations involve the use of gas.
 plasma cutting
plasma cutters produce fine fumes and fumes that must be removed for operator protection. dust collection systems for plasma cutters use specially designed down tables to remove fumes from the work area and from the worker.
 source
welding fumes contain particulate matter and various forms of gases found in the welder's work area. there are various dust collection systems used to capture and collect hazardous materials produced by welding. since welding fumes and dust can be explosive, the fire and explosive properties of the manufactured material should be tested in accordance with osha and national fire protection association (nfpa) standards.
the most common form of system used for welding operations is cartridge filtration, which is highly efficient at trapping small particles.

 seed and grain transactions
the volatility of dust from seed and grain operations is so high that osha has a set of standards specifically designed for these operations. dust from seed and grain operations varies according to the types of material being transported. ıt can be abrasive, sticky or extremely fine. this is further complicated by the wide variety of equipment used in the seed and grain processing, such as conveyors, elevators, silos, various vents, silos and mixers.
the most common form of dust collection system for seed and grain operations is the bag collector, as they can be easily placed in hard-to-reach places or places with limited space. bag collectors are used for their high efficiency and reliability of 99%.
 woodworks
the first concern about air quality in the workplace started with woodworking, as it produces large volumes of sawdust and fumes. as manufacturers investigated various woodworking operations, they discovered that there was a wide variety of particulate matter produced. the determining factor is the type of work performed.
