Mobile Units

Like any other dust extractor, a mobile extraction unit is designed to remove dust from the workplace, ensuring a safe environment for the workforce – but with the added benefit of mobility and ease of cleaning.

A mobile dust extractor can be easily moved to wherever extraction is required, and extracts all kinds of particles from the source, to ensure clean and dust-free air at every workstation. Whilst this stops dust from being sucked into your machinery, it also helps to prevent harm to the lungs, as dust particles can pose a serious health risk when inhaled.

The way mobile dust extraction works is simple.

Dust particles will be captured as close to the source as possible using exhaust arms or hoods. They will then be conveyed through a ductwork system and collected. This can be something as straightforward as passing the suspended dust through a filter or into a collection bag.

While stationary extractors have their fixed place beside a processing machine or production workshop, a mobile dust extractor has smooth-running wheels which means you can quickly relocate it to frequently changing extraction points.

So, in using a mobile extraction unit, you can be sure that harmful pollutants have been safely removed from the atmosphere and collected, ready for safe disposal.

Mobile extraction units are a fantastic investment for those who use tools that create lots of dust on a daily basis. These systems will allow you to comply with stringent Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations, by controlling the amount of dust in your workshop.

In addition to legal compliance, a top-quality mobile dust extractor will help to reduce the time and costs of cleaning up settled dust – making it easy for you to maintain a clean and tidy environment.

Here are just a few more advantages of having a mobile extraction unit:

• Flexibility – target those hard to reach areas
• Ensure the health and safety of staff
• Reduce the number of absentees at work
• Prevent fires and explosions (from flammable dust)
• Reduce maintenance issues
• Increase staff motivation and productivity

Buying a mobile dust extractor is a big deal, and you want to be confident that you pick the very best one. To help, here we list some key features to look out for in your next unit:

• AUTOCLEAN – units with an autoclean function will automatically clean the filter and extend the working life and efficiency of your system.
• Automatic switch on and off – this will ensure that dust extraction will begin the very moment you turn your power tools on.
• Delayed shut off – once your power tools have stopped, the suction power will remain constant to remove all dust particles in your workshop.

Something else to be mindful of when searching for the best mobile extraction unit is how much dust you will create. This will determine whether or not you need a larger capacity to safely collect the particles.

It’s not uncommon for dust, fumes and other pollutants to be generated in workshops all around the world. But these can be detrimental to human health if breathed in. Having a mobile extraction unit on hand, will significantly reduce the amount of dust within the air and safeguard the health and safety of those on-site.

What’s more – without efficient mobile dust extraction – these particles could build up and get into your machinery and equipment, impacting on its operation and efficiency.
