Dust Collector Unit Spec Questions
What sizes of dust collectors are available to rent? Are small industrial dust collectors available?
We offer a broad range of dust collectors to support all of our customers’ various needs. Our industrial dust collector sizes range from 1,500 lb portable 2,000 CFM dust collectors all the way up to 33,000 lb, 60,000 CFM skid-mounted dust collectors.
Should I rent an electric or diesel dust collector?
If you have access to power and are working indoors or in an enclosed or semi-enclosed space, go with an electric dust collector. If you’re working at an outdoor or remote location without reliable electricity, a diesel dust collector will work best for you. Many of our units, like the portable and powerful Filt-Aire 6,000 CFM Trailer Dust Collector, are available in either diesel or electric power.
What are the voltage requirements for your dust collector units?
Our dust collector motors range from 120V to 460V.
Dust Collector Filtration Capability Questions
What kinds of debris can a dust collector pick up?
Dust collectors play a crucial role in removing dust and harmful particles from industrial environments. Our clients use them to pick up respirable crystalline silica, combustible dust, abrasive blasting dust, and many other worksite hazards.
What is the required airflow (CFM) for my application?
A quick calculation we recommend is: CFM (total required airflow) = sum of simultaneous machine CFMs × 1.25-1.30 (important to note: this is a suggested number between 1.25 and 1.30; we are not subtracting those numbers). To find the sum of all your machine CFMs, find each machine’s recommended CFM in its manual. Then, add up the CFMs of the machines that run simultaneously in your facility. Multiply that number by a number somewhere between 1.25 to 1.30; this is your safety buffer. It accounts for duct losses and filter degradation. The answer is your required CFM.
Do your dust collectors comply with OSHA and NFPA regulations?
OSHA does not have codes or regulations for the use of dust collectors, but dust collectors are specifically designed to keep your workplaces free from particles that are heavily regulated by OSHA. NFPA does have standards for explosion protection, ventilation, and combustible dust management. All Industrial Vacuum dust collectors comply with NFPA standards.
