The dust produced by workplace grinding applications produces a range of health effects, mostly centered in the lungs. A condition known as pneumoconiosis or “dusty lung” affects many workers that don’t have access to proper filtration and ventilation. The result is scar tissue build up in the lining of the lungs that contributes to serious, chronic lung problems.

The key is to remove dust and particulate before it reaches the breathing zone of nearby workers. Depending on the nature of the work application, grinding and deburring can create airborne metal, composite, rubber or fiberglass dust that is particularly dangerous to inhale.

We offer filtering and ventilation equipment such as downdraft tables and dust collectors that will capture the dust as you produce it, then filter and remove it from harm’s way. All of our dust filtration and ventilation products meet required regulatory guidelines, and our expert team is always ready to provide information and help guide you in the right direction.
