Choosing an Appropriate Large Dust Extractor

Whether you’re grinding or stripping your floor, there are an abundance of reasons why dust extraction is so important. For one, anyone who has ever performed any floor grinding or other floor preparation tasks will be well aware of the health risks associated with inhaling dust, and how essential effective dust control is as a result.

While in many cases dust will simply be a nuisance rather than a potential hazard, it is still important that any dust is collected when operating certain kinds of machinery. If nothing else, having a powerful dust extractor to hand makes tidying up after a long day of working on your project a much simpler task.

However, if you’ve never worked with a dust extractor before, you might be wondering which model would be most appropriate for your needs. Fortunately, this blog will offer tips on what to consider when choosing a large dust extractor, as well as highlight some of the high-tech machinery available for hire from Concept Flooring Technology.

What to Consider When Choosing a Dust Extractor

There are a number of factors to consider during the selection process that will help you determine which dust extractor would be the best fit for you:

  • Level of protection: what type of dust do you need to remove?

  • Power source: is the dust extractor cordless, mains 110v (for work sites) or mains 240v (for domestic use)?

  • Wet or dry pick-up: do you need the dust extractor to collect liquids as well as dry solids?

  • Required power take-off: are you limited on power sources?

  • Auto on/off: do you need your dust extractor to only work whilst using a tool?

  • Capacity: how much dust will your project produce?

  • Auto-clean: this additional function can make the filtration level more efficient.
