A downdraft extractor dust collection system is a type of industrial dust collection system that uses downdraft dust extraction to remove dust and other airborne particles from a work area. It is typically used in woodworking, metalworking, and other industries where dust and other particles are produced during the manufacturing process.
The system works by creating a downward flow of air through a perforated table or grate located beneath the workpiece. As the air flows downward, it captures dust and other particles, which are then drawn into a collection unit. The collection unit can be a baghouse or a cartridge collector, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
Downdraft extractor systems are preferred for their ability to capture dust and other particles directly at the source, preventing them from becoming airborne and reducing the risk of exposure to workers. They are also efficient and easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for many industrial applications.
A downdraft exhaust fan is a type of fan that is used to draw air downwards and exhaust it from a particular area or space. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial settings where fumes, smoke, or other contaminants need to be removed from the environment.
