Industrial Environments

Despite their different designs and applications, all dust collectors share several key similarities that contribute to their effectiveness in controlling airborne contaminants and improving air quality in industrial environments:

  • Dust Collection Purpose: All dust collectors are designed to capture airborne dust, smoke, fumes, and other particulates, helping to maintain a cleaner, safer work environment.
  • Improve Air Quality: The primary goal of each dust collection system is to ensure that clean, breathable air is returned to the environment, reducing harmful exposure to particulate matter and enhancing overall indoor air quality.
  • Compliance with Safety Standards: All dust collectors are engineered to meet or exceed OSHA, EPA, and other industry-specific health and safety standards, ensuring that facilities maintain regulatory compliance for workplace air quality.
  • Preventing Contamination: Dust collectors are essential in preventing pollutants from re-entering the workspace, reducing the risk of contamination in manufacturing processes and creating a safer environment for workers.
  • Maintain Worker Safety: They are all designed to minimize health risks such as respiratory issues, eye irritation, and skin conditions caused by dust exposure, contributing to a safer work environment for employees.
  • Regular Maintenance Needs: Each type of dust collector requires maintenance to ensure optimal performance. This typically includes filter changes, cleaning cycles, and checking for wear and tear to maintain efficiency.
  • Dust Storage: All systems are equipped with a dust storage or collection mechanism, such as bins, hoppers, or bags, where the captured particles are stored until they can be disposed of or reused.
  • Filtration Efficiency: While the specific technology varies, all dust collectors feature some form of filtration that allows them to capture and separate particles from the airstream to prevent harmful particles from being released into the air.
  • Energy Efficiency (to varying degrees): Most modern dust collection systems are designed to be energy-efficient, using technology to reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs, especially in high-volume systems.
  • Customization Options: Many dust collectors, regardless of type, can be custom-engineered to suit specific industrial applications, ensuring they meet the particular dust load, volume, and environmental needs of a facility.

These common features highlight the shared goal of air filtration and dust removal, while the differences in design and application allow each dust collector to cater to specific industries or types of dust particles.

Air Dynamics provides cutting-edge, custom-engineered dust collection solutions for industries of all types. Our products are designed for high efficiency, durability, and energy savings, ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective workplace.

Valued Clients
Testimonials Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with.

"We’re a resource recovery company. We selected two PLĒCO 30 HP portable vacuum systems configured for bulk pickup. Our customer just laughed at us when the Air Dynamics PLĒCO vacuums showed up. They actually said, ‘they‘d never work!’ Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with. The plant had a $100,000 central vacuum system; they even tried a “super sucker” with no decent results. The company gave up trying to recover the powdered tungsten themselves. We had their plant cleaned up in record time, even though the powdered tungsten weighed 1,150 pounds per cubic foot!"

- M. Hakli – resource recovery firm
Testimonials

"We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine. It has been a major help with maintaining clean floors and machines. We have also used it to unplug clogged pneumatic conveying lines where compressed air did not effectively work. In the past, we used brooms and compressed air to clean which caused the dust to float in the air, moving from surface to surface. The PLECO vacuum eliminates floating dust and its suction is powerful enough to get the fine dust out of the cracks and off the floor quickly. I like that it’s portable to move it where you need it."

- Eric Steigman, Owner, and Plant Manager, Small Valley Milling
Testimonials

"Daniel Lehman was so much more knowledgeable than the competition- probably more knowledgeable than anyone in the country, about industrial vacuums."

- C. Milum, Textile Company
Testimonials We recommend Air Dynamics!

"Working with Air Dynamics was an incredibly enjoyable experience for our engineering firm. They brought expertise to the table that we did not necessarily have in-house, and they conveyed it in a way that was easy for us, our shareholders, and our executives to understand. We would recommend Air Dynamics for anyone looking for a pneumatic or material handling conveying solutions."

- L. Samuelson, Engineer, power company
Testimonials

"The Desert Wind is the best technology we have found for testing and calibration laboratories. We use it within the aerospace and military sectors to assist the creation of parts development and provide part of the certification needed."

- Stephane Carpentier, Dir. Innovation & Development, CTA
Testimonials

"We purchased the PLĒCO 8.5 HP vacuum for our powdered colors business. We chose this substantially built vacuum over a European import that didn’t offer what this American made system did. We purchased a second unit because the first system performed excellent even after filling the canister again and again without affecting the pressure drop across the filters at all.

- G. Maynard, A Powdered Color Products Firm
