Combustible dust
Fine wood dust is an explosion risk; duct velocity, bonding and earthing all matter.
Sawing, sanding, MDF and CNC routing
Woodworking
Wood dust is bulky, combustible and produced at every machine. Extraction is as much about fire and explosion prevention as it is about air quality.
What makes woodworking dust difficult
Volume not weight
The dust is light and bulky, so the collection hopper fills fast and the filter loads quickly.
Mixed particle sizes
Chips from the saw sit alongside fine sander dust in the same duct run.
How we approach it
- Cyclone pre-separation to drop chips and shavings before the filter
- Anti-static ducting and hose with proper earthing
- High dust-holding cartridges for the fine fraction
