Centralised or point-source dust extraction to maintain clean plant air and meet occupational health requirements.
Centralised or point-source dust extraction and filtration to maintain clean plant air and meet occupational health requirements. Filter unit capacity and fan selection are matched to the aspiration air volume and dust load of the plant.
Dust extraction systems capture dust and light material at the point of generation: conveyor transfers, cleaners, elevators, and any other material handling point: and convey the dust-laden air to a filter unit where the dust is separated and collected. Facet Engineering designs extraction systems from the aspiration point ductwork through to the filter unit, fan, and collected dust discharge. Centralised systems serve multiple aspiration points from a single filter unit and fan, reducing the number of filter units in the plant. Point-source systems place a small filter unit directly at each aspiration point for simpler installation. Bag filter and cartridge filter units are the standard filtration technology, with automatic pulse-jet cleaning to maintain filter efficiency.

Facet Engineering designs centralised and point-source dust extraction systems, custom-sized to the plant and its dust-generating equipment. The project scope can cover:
Airflow, dust load, filtration requirements and combustible-dust safety measures are assessed for the application. The final equipment and scope of supply are confirmed for each project.
The project scope can include aspiration pickup points, ductwork, bag or cartridge filters, fans, collected-dust discharge and integration with processing equipment. The final equipment and scope of supply are confirmed for each project.
Facet Engineering designs both centralised and point-source dust extraction systems. Systems are custom-sized for the plant layout, required airflow, pressure and dust load.
Combustible-dust safety measures must be assessed for the specific application. Required protection measures and equipment are confirmed as part of the project design, not assumed from a generic equipment description.
Grain and flour dusts are combustible: explosion relief and suppression must be considered in the system design.
Filter area is calculated to maintain air-to-cloth ratio within manufacturer recommendations for the dust type.
