Glue Fumes & Vapours

Dust & Fume Filter Units - Portable

Portable Dust & Fume Filter Units. Quite often “Clean Air” solutions are required throughout a work place. These units can be easily moved from location to location with ease while capturing dust and fumes where needed.

Various Options in Filtering Systems Available:
- Washable Filters
- Cleanable Filters
- Self-Cleaning Systems
- Throw Away Filters

All Units equipped with fan/motor assemblies to ensure adequate extraction at all times

Some important points to consider when purchasing:

  • How easy is the unit too move?
  • Is it easy to use?
  • Does it fit through small doorways and between tables, etc…?
  • Will it stand up to your environment (Eg: is it made from Plastic or Steel?)
  • Filter cleaning: is it easy to clean? Does the filter cleaning system really work?
  • What will be my filter costs per year (e.g. in welding you can use how many lbs of welding wire…)
  • Do you need unit for Maintenance or Production Application?


    Here are some general design velocities when using "CAPTURE" Hoods:

    Smoke (e.g. Welding):
  • Capture Velocity 100 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 3000 FPM
  • Minimum Face Velocity 2355 FPM

    Dust (e.g. Grinding):
  • Capture Velocity 500 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 4000 FPM
  • Minimum Face Velocity 4000 FPM

    Gas (e.g. V.O.C.'s):
  • Capture Velocity 50 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 2000 FPM
  • Minimum Face Velocity 785 FPM

    For more info, please see the products and associated documentation listed below.





  • Dust, Fume & Vapor Control Booths

    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..."

    Some important points to consider when purchasing:

  • 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 (Eg: is it made from Plastic or Steel?)
  • Filter cleaning: is it easy to clean? Does the filter cleaning system really work?
  • 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?


    Here are some general design velocities when using "Enclosing" Hoods:

    Dust, Fume and Vapour Control Booths:
  • Minimum Face Velocity 100 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 100 FPM


    For more info, please see the products and associated documentation listed below.





  • Ambient Air Cleaners-Dust Fume Vapor

    Ambient Air Cleaners involve the use of large “Washable, Cleanable or Replaceable Media” filters. These units, both filter and re-circulate the air back into the work place

    Installation Configurations:

    Free Hanging "Negative Pressure"
    “Race Track”
    "Cross Dilution"

    Depending upon the designed air pattern, these systems "scrub" the ambient air of contaminantes and the result is a dramatic reduction of airborne pollution.

    These systems are best used in combination with source-collection equipment.

    Some important things to consider when purchasing these types of units:

  • What is the volume of the room you want to clean? (cubic dimension: L'xW'xH')
  • How many times would you like to change the air in your room? (eg: Welding=8 AC/H)
  • How much contaminant do I generate? (eg: dust, smoke, fume)
  • Where am I going to mount these units?
  • Can I use these units to create a negative pressure in my work area?
  • Do I want "throw away", "washable", "cleanable" or "self cleaning" filters?

    Information required to estimate the annual filter costs for a welding application:
  • 1. Brand of Wire
  • 2. Diameter of Wire
  • 3. Type of Wire
  • 4. Lbs of Wire per year
  • 5. Condition of part being welded(minimal,low,medium or heavy oil content...)
  • 6. Metals being welded


    Here are some general design velocities when using "RECEIVING" Hoods:

    Ambient Air Cleaner:
  • Minimum Face Velocity 250 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 250 FPM


    For more information, please see the products and information listed below:





  • Ducted Air Cleaners-Dust Fume Vapor

    Ducted Air Cleaners are used in a variety of applications where the filter selection often requires a specific configuration. With these collectors you can select a variety of particulate, liquid or gas phase filters such as “HEPA” filters, “Mist Agglomerators” and “Gas Adsorbers” respectively.

    These systems are available with or without pre-engineered and installed fan packages.


    Here are some general design velocities when using "CAPTURE" Hoods:

    Smoke (e.g. Welding):
  • Capture Velocity 100 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 3000 FPM
  • Minimun Face Velocity 2355 FPM

    Dust (e.g. Grinding):
  • Capture Velocity 500 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 4000 FPM
  • Minimun Face Velocity 4000 FPM

    Gas (e.g. V.O.C.'s):
  • Capture Velocity 50 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 2000 FPM
  • Minimun Face Velocity 785 FPM

    Mist:
  • Capture Velocity 100 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 2250 FPM
  • Minimum Face Velocity 1766 FPM





  • Fans - Air Make Up and Exhaust

    Fans for Air make Up and Exhaust are quite often a difficult product to find when designing a simple ducted local exhaust system.

    Here we offer a variety of "LEV" (Local Exhaust & Ventilation) fans specifically designed to meet the demands of such systems.


    These Fans are able to handle specific applications such as:

    - Corrosive fumes
    - Abrasive dusts
    - Proper flow and static pressure for a particular application

    Please feel free to contact one of our System Design Technicians for help in selecting the right fan for your application.
