Dust Control Booths
1. What is it?

Environmental Control Booths allow operators to work on a variety of components while assuring worker comfort and visibility within the critical area. These solutions also ensure that the "dust produced within the booth... stays in the booth..."

3. Will it Make my Workplace Safer?

Yes, but only when the system is configured, installed, and maintained for the correct application. The filter selection is the most important decision for ensuring the reliability, effectiveness, and safety of the unit you select.

6. What Criteria to Consider

Some important points to consider when purchasing:

  • Filter Cleaning: Is it easy to clean? Does the filter cleaning system really work?
  • How large does the booth have to be?
  • Is the air speed through the work zone high enough to protect the worker?
  • What is the noise level? Inside and outside the booth?
  • Will it stand up to your environment? 
    • e.g. is it made from plastic or steel?
  • What will be my filter costs per year? - In welding you can use lbs. of welding wire…
  • What is the filtration efficiency?
  • Are there any tertiary risks such as fire, explosion, etc.?
7. Preventing the Spread of Airborne Fumes and Chemicals

Industrial workers are exposed to a variety of health hazards every day. As a result, these workers risk the possibility of becoming sick, ill, and in some cases, permanently disabled. According to a WHO estimate (WHO, 2000), unintentional poisonings led to 300,000 deaths in the year 2000. 

It's our mission to diminish that figure, but it only works if the correct equipment is used, and configured accordingly. Our team works to make the process of answering those questions as straightforward and coherent as possible, and will work to provide you with the best extraction system that fits your worker's needs. This includes everything from accessibility and usability to longevity and reliability.
