A high-quality industrial downdraft table equipped with a shop dust collector will address and remedy your shop's issues with poor air quality. How Do They Work? VeriCUT downdraft cutting tables pull the smoke, dust and contaminants in the air down and away from your breathing space. The duct has the same air draw, no matter where the cutting torch is across the width or length of the table. The table can pull in and remove smoke from as far as two to three feet above. As a result, the table removes the hazardous smoke and particles that are generated near your source and avoids contaminating your shop.  What You Can Use Them For Industrial downdraft tables are perfect for removing both fumes and dust from your air during many or your shop’s different applications. These include, but are not limited to, polishing, grinding, cutting, welding, and sanding your metal products.

Using a duct collector in Ontario is a great way to improve the quality of the air in your shop. However, many people may not be aware of the additional benefits of dust collectors. VeriCUT offers high-quality dust collectors and proudly serves businesses across North America. This blog will explain how dust collectors work and will provide tips in regards to how to choose the right one for your needs.  What Are Dust Collectors? Dust collectors in Ontario can improve the quality of the air in your shop during mechanical, metalworking, woodworking, and commercial and industrial processes. More specifically, the VeriCUT system removes fine dust particles from the air, as well as other airborne particles and impurities by drawing them back into the table.  The downdraft cutting tables have special slotted air ducts in them, which can help you efficiently extract the particles from the air. When the cutting machine is idle, the speed of the motor in the fan of the dust collector will be reduced. With the wireless connection, the pre-programmed instructions will look at the machine’s variables and report both the stats and the machine’s status. This can result in an 80 percent reduction in heat and...

There are a lot of compelling reasons to buy products made in Canada. They range from the reduction of environmental impact to the preservation of local jobs and the overall economy.  As consumers, however, we don’t always think about how our buying decisions affect the communities we live in. Many of us tend to look for lower-priced products made outside of Canada and opt to save money instead of invest in high-quality items made locally. When COVID-19 took hold, that mindset started to change. Canadians became more conscious of where products were coming from and started letting patriotism guide their purchasing decisions. It’s a positive trend that needs to continue, whether you’re buying a dining room set or a dust collector.  Why Shop For A Dust Collector In Canada? When you buy your dust collector from a Canadian company, the benefit goes well beyond the profits realized by the business. You can rest assured that you are getting a product that- Meets this country’s high health and safety standards.

If you operate a facility that handles powder and bulk solids, you’re probably generating hazardous levels of dust. In addition to being a general nuisance, very fine particulates can get into the lungs and cause serious health issues while certain types of dust, such as wood, grain, and metal, are a fire and explosion hazard.  With worker and site safety being paramount, your dust collector is an essential part of facility operation. This means that if it needs repairs or maintenance, you have to temporarily shut down production until the system is back online. Depending on how long work has to be halted, you can lose a lot of profit and productivity, and dust collector repair costs can add up. If your current dust collector has needed frequent repairs, you may assume that these expenses and downtime are a frustrating but necessary part of a busy operation. The good news is that there is a dust collection system that needs practically no repairs and can even save you money on your utility bills. The VeriCUT Solution VeriCUT downdraft tables are 100% mechanical systems, which means that your dust collector repair and maintenance needs are virtually zero. Unlike a lot of...

When you run a business that creates dust either as a product or as part of the manufacturing process, your employees and facility are at risk. For example: Fine dust particles can enter the respiratory system, aggravating allergies and potentially causing lung damage.Dust can accumulate on surfaces that can be hard to reach and clean, such as rafters or false ceilings. A dangerous combination of high quantities and a combustible nature can lead to dust fires and explosions. Dust collection is a critical issue in Ontario businesses that produce or work with raw materials, such as wood pellet plants, pulp and paper mills, and metalworking shops. There have been several incidents across the province in recent years, including a paper mill fire in Thunder Bay. Installing a modern and efficient dust collector in your facility can help you avoid business interruption and save lives. How Does A Dust Collector Work? Dust collectors have a single operating protocol: dirty, dust-laden air goes in and clean air goes out. The actual process will vary according to system type, which is important when you’re shopping for dust collectors in Ontario, but in general, they draw dust from the air through a filter, which...

When you run a shop or other business that produces dust on a daily basis, a dust collector that breaks down frequently can threaten the health and safety of your employees. Even if it doesn’t stop at the worst possible moment, plugged filter bags can cause the fans to work harder and faulty valves can leak compressed air, causing your utility costs to shoot up. The best solution to these manufacturing challenges is a dust collector that needs virtually no maintenance or repairs. Enter VeriCUT. VeriCUT vs. Other Systems VeriCUT dust collectors are specially-designed to offer the most efficient dust extraction in the industry. Its zone-by-zone ducting system only draws smoke from the immediate area of cutting work being done, instead of across the entire table, resulting in a smaller dust collection system that offers higher dust recovery rates and a superior return on investment.

Dust collection is an essential part of any industry that processes raw materials, especially if it produces combustible dust. Many woodworking, grain processing, and metal manufacturing facilities install dust collection systems to keep the premises clean and protect property and personnel from hazardous situations like dust fires and explosions. While they play a critical role in workplace safety, dust collectors also pose a fire risk. Those who are familiar with the Fire Triangle know that there are three elements which must be present for a fire to occur. These are:  FuelOxygenHeat Dust collectors collect fuel on a regular basis: they’re constantly pulling combustible dust off the tables, floors and fixtures. As they suck in the dust, they also bring in oxygen at a high velocity, which means air is constantly circulating through the system. If heat is also generated, the could result in a fire.  How can heat be created in a dust collector? Depending on the industry, there are several things that can produce sufficient heat to cause a fire. In a metalworking or automotive plant, for example, sparks generated by welding or cutting machines can be pulled into the dust collector, where they may hit the filter media...
