Contact UsKey Features and Benefits
The Desert Wind™ Blowing Sand and Dust System is built to meet and exceed industry standards such as MIL-STD-810H, DO-160G, MIL-STD-202, and AECTP 300. It provides unparalleled testing capabilities for simulating blowing sand or dust conditions at controlled concentrations, velocities, and environmental parameters. The system allows real-time monitoring and adjustment of test parameters, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
- Real-Time Control & Monitoring: All test parameters (wind speed, temperature, humidity, and dust concentration) are automated and controlled in real-time, offering high precision.
- Exceeds MIL-STD-810H: Achieves a standard deviation of 0.3% at 1-second intervals, with an average variable of 0.09 g/m³ over a six-hour dust test, far surpassing the specification requirements for desert testing.
- Customizable Designs: Systems can be tailored to meet specific requirements for sand or dust testing at various concentrations and velocities. Optional configurations allow for larger test chamber sizes and enhanced performance.
- Automated Maintenance: The Desert Wind™ system includes a self-cleaning process for test media and built-in industrial vacuum systems to manage dust disposal efficiently.
- Remote Operation: The system features remote console operation with dual 27" control room monitors, a PLC, and a keyboard/mouse for ease of use and system monitoring.

Case Studies
Industrial Lint Removal
Air Dynamics was able to provide a LRS II system for a client In Reno, Nevada who needed a lint filtration system to handles its' heavy-duty laundry operation.
Peppermill had new ironers that generated more lint into the production area, creating a fire hazard.
Air Dynamics performs a ACGIH certified industrial ventilation risk assessment and analysis for each project.
Dust and Lint Control
A textile services company approached Air Dynamics Industrial Services for a specialized central and portable vacuum system.
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation was approached by the president of the Textile Services company requesting a more efficient and adaptable vacuuming system.
Air Dynamics provided a versatile central and portable vacuum, engineered specially for the client's needs, which included the ability to drastically reduce the time it would take to perform the cleaning process.
Silica Containment & Control
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation manufactures an industrial dust collector ventilation system for PPG.
The major challenge faced by PPG was a high amount of silica dust being produced in their glass-cutting process.
Air Dynamics is a turn-key manufacturer, which means the project is taken from concept to installation by Air Dynamics’ project managers.
