Familiarize Yourself With the Types

Summit works with a variety of the most reputable and state-of-the-art industry manufacturers of dust collectors. There are a number of choices, but only one system will be right for you. Our team’s analysis of your facility will surface the correct equipment to create a system for your individualized needs.

Baghouse Dust Collectors

Baghouse dust collectors are ideal for large applications – large dust particles, large cubic space, and high air flow. Their bags are easy and affordable to replace.

Cartridge Dust Collectors

Cartridge dust collectors offer compact and efficient collection. Collectors of this type are available with horizontal or vertical cartridge housing.

Cyclone Dust Collectors

Cyclone dust collectors are generally used as a pre-filter solution or spark trap before a baghouse or cartridge collector. They work especially well with larger dust particles.

Wet Dust Collectors

Wet dust collectors are essential when there is any chance of dust combustion. These collectors are essential for processes involving sparks as they pull particles through water prior to venting to avoid fire and explosion hazards.

Portable Dust Collectors

Portable dust collectors come in single stage and cartridge styles. They are generally used in smaller facilities and are relatively affordable.

Downdraft Tables

Downdraft tables are source capture dust collectors that provide dust extraction at a close distance. They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles to fit specific industrial applications.

Is Your Dust Combustible?

The right dust collector might need a system including fire/explosion mitigation components.

Breathe Easier with a Quality Dust Collector

The presence of various types of dust can be quite hazardous to workers, equipment, and the facility where the work is taking place. Consequences of airborne dust can be as minor as low-grade allergic reactions among workers, but certain kinds of dust can cause a fire and even explosions.

Good indoor air quality is not necessarily the first perk an employee will talk about at their workplace, but bad indoor air quality would certainly be one of their complaints.

Hazards related to dust vary greatly, depending upon the type of dust. In any industry where dust is dispersed into the air, dust collection must always be among a company’s highest priorities.

Asking yourself what is the best dust collector for your workplace?

Because dust collection is so vitally important, and since there are so many forms of dust, it truly is necessary to have the right system for your facility.

How do you determine which dust collector is the best? Is a baghouse dust collector better than a cyclone dust collector? Is wet dust collection better than dry dust collection?

The objective is not necessarily to find the best dust collector, but the dust collection system that best suits your specific needs.

To identify the best solution for your unique facility, begin with simpler questions.

  • What is your specific industry?
  • What kind of dusts are present in your facility, and are they combustible?
  • Are there often sparks in your facility?
  • Are your workstations arranged tightly or do they have abundant space?
  • What hours of the day do you run machines that require dust collection?

These questions are just the beginning. Summit’s experts run a complete analysis of every facility where we install equipment, ensuring that your custom-designed system is the best fit for your dust collection needs.
