Is Industrial Dust Extraction an Expense or an Investment ?
As increased focus from regulators ensures companies take employees safe work conditions seriously: correctly sized, fit for purpose, industrial dust extraction is an important part of the compliance journey. Spending capex on industrial dust extraction is not like buying a new machine that will save time and manpower in the manufacturing process. To most managers who concentrate on allocating costs for maximum immediate return, it won’t increase your earnings and profits………….or will it?
Immediate Expense vs. Long term Value
Consider an undersized, out of date, unsafe industrial dust extractor. Is this antiquated dust filter :
- Cleaning the air adequately and returning it to the factory for your employees to safely breathe? If proved to be non-compliant, your company attracts reputation damage and may face hefty legal costs.
- Reducing the dust on your finished products saving time when it comes to packing?
- Preventing dust getting into your electrical parts and increasing wear on your mechanical systems – adding to your maintenance bills?
- Incorporated with the latest safety features, including protection, should an explosion occur, resulting in injury to staff and lost production?
- Maintenance free? If your industrial dust extraction unit is undersized now, it will be requiring regular replacement of filter socks or cartridges ( expensive).
A New Industrial Dust Extraction solution will immediately provide:
- Cleaner air for your employees to work in, reducing exposure to lung infections, a chance of developing cancers long after employment has ceased, and will help reduce staff turnover as staff understand your investment in their safety.
- Cleaner finished products requiring less preparation time, and improved image to customers.
- Less dust causing potential electrical fire hazards, and less wear on equipment, another forgotten cost saving.
- Safer industrial dust extraction, providing your workplace health and safety regulator with proof that you have invested in compliance: keeping employees safe.
- Lower costs as frequent replacement of filter media is no longer required.
Case Study : Choosing Ebcam Dust& Fume for maximum return on investment when deciding which industrial dust extractor to purchase
Our very first Industrial Dust Filter sold in the Southern Hemisphere, was bought by a company spending $18,000 a year on replacing dust extractor cartridges. Replacing their ineffective dust filter models with our larger industrial extraction unit, the company have now easily realised their investment: our cartridges have so far lasted 14 years and not needed replacing! The savings over that time have been more than 5 times the initial cost of the entire industrial dust extraction filter, installed in January 2010.
So impressed with the performance of this world leading industrial dust extractor, with unique power saving and cleaning features, the same customer bought a second industrial dust extractor from us to cover the remainder of the factory site. They were able to make this additional purchase only due to the money being saved operating our first dust filtration unit which was correctly specified for the volume of dust and offered unique world leading cleaning features.
This company chose to purchase from a specialist dust filtration company, providing the best industrial dust extraction products available in the world. Our supplier sells industrial dust solutions globally. The production manager finally chose to swap two large fans for 2 more efficient, quieter ones, from the same European supplier, saving power and adding even more to the bottom line.
Dust Extraction is a smart and necessary investment -
A new industrial dust extraction filter is not expensive. The long-term financial advantages of initially investing in durable high performance dust control equipment, from suppliers who have over 70 years’ experience and make thousands of these tried and tested dust extraction filters every year, will pay off huge benefits.
Cheaper industrial extraction units are available, but getting an advanced, energy efficient extraction from EBCAM DUST&FUME is an investment that will deliver substantial returns – effective dust control, for years to come, a healthier work force with less sickness due to respiratory issues, increased productivity, reduced maintenance costs and regulatory compliance.
