What does 21st Century Dust Extraction look like ? Energy efficient Blower filters from EBCAM!
Dust extraction is a vital part of most industries and in recent decades, with a greater focus on employer responsibilities and safe working methods for employees, attention to and accountability for this part of any organisation's processes has been escalated to match compliance and ethical pressures.
The principles of dust extraction is basic physics and information on air flows vs duct diameters, cloth to air filter ratios etc. are well documented in publications going back to the 1970's. Despite this, many companies across a range of industries have been reluctant to spend money on good efficient extraction, due to ignorance or purchasing restraints: money spent on new plant and equipment to increase production capacity is easy to sign off for investment funding, but spending money to make a safer working environment that seemingly does not alter output, was always a harder meeting to have.
Secondly, often those advising workplaces on this very specialist area of design, have not been the right people or companies, i.e. those who truely understand dust extraction, and can offer a fit for purpose solution.

EBCAM have adopted the advanced technology available from their European supplier to ensure dust control solutions are the best available to their client. These tried and tested dust extraction solutions are sold in their 1000's all over the world and allow the supplier to pass on the benefit of economy of the scale of their Scandanavian manufacturing facility. As a result Ebcam's advanced technology solutions often do not cost more than a bespoke solution designed for a specific customer's site, that relies on 50 year old concepts with no new features!
Ebcam can offer Australian manufacturing and processing facilities enhanced performance, safer dust extraction solutions and energy efficiency, due to their supplier's unique features.
Two of the most important advances since the 1970's have been in explosion relief and energy savings, especially savings resulting from reduced use of compressed air with unique advanced cleaning systems.

As a consequence of poor advice, many, (but not all), companies previously installed improvements to help air quality that were the cheapest solution tendered - maybe a ceiling fan, a series of small portable extractors that block up and leak dangerous invisible dust, a system that is just simply inadequate for the dust load and air volumes and number of machines being serviced. This is especially an issue when a factory has been reconfigured and machines added after initial commissioning. Many of dust solutions may have been offered by HVAC specialists whose expertise lies in contolling whole environments, not LEV, which focuses on dealing with the dust issue exactly where the dust is generated.
Generally however, organisations in nearly all Australasian industries have failed to keep up with the advances in technology, and innovative features made available, for dust extraction developed by key leading European suppliers over 20 years ago.
