Whether you’re on a construction site or in your own workshop, any professional will be aware of just how dusty their workspace can become. Not only does this make for a frustrating clean up job after a long day, but if ingested can also be bad for your health over time. Because of this, having a powerful dust extractor to hand is essential.
With so many options available on the market, deciding on which large dust extractor to choose in can be tough. That’s why, in this blog post, we cover everything you need to know about finding the perfect large dust extractor for your needs.
How Do Dust Extractors Work?
For those who are unfamiliar, dust extractors do precisely as their name suggests. These specialised tools work by drawing air in through a filter, which traps the particles and releases clean air back into the room. They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, with some designed for use in workshops with heavy machinery, while others are intended for use on sites with handheld power tools.
What Kind of Large Dust Extractor Do I Need?
In order to find out what kind of dust extractor you should be shopping for, there are a few factors to keep in mind:
- Tool or Machine Use: Do you work mainly with large, static machinery or handheld power tools?
- Material Use: The materials you’re using will determine what class of dust extractor you’ll need. The three main classes of dust extractors are L, M and H – each of which offer ascending levels of filtration.
- Airflow Rate: This refers to the volume of air that a dust extractor can move in a given amount of time.
- Additional Features: Although non-essential, there are a handful of extra features included with certain dust extractor models that can make the world of difference, like hoses or Bluetooth connectivity.
