Ensuring all aspects of a Cleveland workplace are in compliance with regulations is important for health as well as safely. In many industries, maintaining air quality and removing dust from the air is an important part of compliance. Dust in the air is not just a health concern; it also creates safety issues for potential fire and explosion hazards depending on the specific shop or facility.
There are several specific factors to consider when choosing a dust collection system. In many types of industries, and particularly in large fabrication, manufacturing and processing plants, a custom system may need to be designed based on the specifics of the building.
Regulations
Regardless of the industry, from woodworking to processing, there are specific industry regulations with regard to the type of dust collection system that is required. There can be state, local and federal codes that must be complied with in order to meet all safety standards required.
Working with a company to design, manufacture and install the system that is familiar with the current codes from each of regulatory bodies is essential to ensure the system meets all standards.
Configuration
The configuration of the dust collection system is designed to reflect the size of the space, the equipment in use, where the main unit is to be positioned as well as any potential issues with the layout of the physical space that may create obstructions or challenges.
The system must be designed to ensure a minimal air volume and velocity in both the main duct as well as any branches of the duct. These minimal values vary based on the type of dust present including metal, wood or other types of dust.
The company designing and installing the system in your Cleveland business should have experience in these types of projects. By working with an experienced company, a quality system can be designed and installed to meet all requirements.
