At Belfab, we are well aware that woodworking is not without its risks, especially when it comes to the production of dust. That’s why we offer a wide range of dust collectors and downdraft tables to meet all your needs.
Investing in such systems is a wise choice.
Ventilating woodworking dust at the source is essential for many reasons, which we have listed below:
1. Health, safety and comfort: Inhaling fine wood dust particles can cause respiratory problems and even serious illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
2. Fire hazard: Wood dust is highly flammable. By capturing dust at the source, you significantly reduce the risk of dust accumulation in the workshop, which can prevent potentially devastating fires and explosions.
3. Cleanliness: An accumulation of dust can create slippery surfaces, obstruct visibility and create an overall hazardous environment.
4. Efficiency: When not captured at the source, they can settle on surfaces and components, leading to reduced equipment efficiency and chronic maintenance problems.
5. Environmental impact: Woodworking dust can contain harmful pollutants which, when released into the environment, contribute to air and water pollution.
6. Regulatory compliance: Capturing dust at the source is often a legal requirement to ensure compliance with these regulations.
7. Cost savings: You will increase the lifespan of your equipment, reduce maintenance costs and cut the rate of health-related absenteeism among your employees.
