Installing an efficient dust collection system should be a priority for small and large manufacturers and shops alike, whether the material being machined is wood, plastic, composite, or any other material that produces fine particles.
Not only is a quality industrial dust collection system essential for health and compliance with many national and local codes, but it’s also good business: efficient dust collection saves time, saves money, and helps to maintain the quality of the finished product.
The harmful health effects of inhaled particulates (many of which are carcinogens) are well-documented, and skin, eye, and nose problems as well as allergic reactions are frequently reported. In addition, a dusty shop increases the risk of worker injury and fire, which can result in lost production, higher insurance rates, and lawsuits.

Lapp Millwright has been installing and servicing custom dust collection systems for over 6 years and our team members have over 20 years of industry experience.

There are a variety of benefits to a comprehensive industrial dust collection system. For many manufacturers, safety is first and foremost. However, removing dust and particulates from the air isn’t just about safety, and there are significant financial advantages to having an industrial dust collection system.
By every measure, an efficient dust collection system is an investment that pays for itself. Avoid costly shutdowns and keep your people working with a high-quality dust collection system. Lapp Millwright is your source for high-quality service, installation, and systems.
This is the most important and obvious benefit of dust collection, protecting your workers from health problems caused by inhaling particulates and reaching strict regional or national safety standards.
Dust buildup can easily catch fire, and removing these larger particulates from the air reduces the risk of rapid combustion and fire in your facility.
In addition to the health hazards of airborne dust, dust buildup can be a slip-hazard. Keeping floors clean and free of debris helps to avoid accidents, slips, and falls associated with fine dust sheens and dust piles alike.
In a clean environment, workers can breathe easy and focus on their jobs without worrying about their health. Your team will know their health is a priority, leading to increased productivity and greater morale.
A dusty shop compromises the quality of the finished product, too, including: accurate measurements and cuts can be more difficult due to lack of visibility, airborne dust finds its way into finishing areas causing defects in the final product, larger particles cling to surfaces cause scoring and other defects
Dust that is not automatically collected must be collected manually as a recurring direct labor expense, and manual dust collection frequently contributes to particulates in the air through ongoing disturbance.
An efficient dust collection system may even help to lower your commercial liability insurance and even healthcare rates by reducing the risk of fire and injury, including chronic illness, in your facility.
Excess dust shortens the lifespan of equipment and systems by clogging moving parts, causing premature wear, and interfering with electronics. A good dust collection system will remove particulates before they can cause damage, saving you money on repairs and replacement costs.
When considering an industrial dust collection system for your facility, it’s important to factor in the needs of your facility and process, as well as the quality and size of the equipment.
Every business is different, with a unique set of needs. A good industrial dust collection system will be designed specifically for your shop or warehouse, taking into account the size and layout of your shop, type of work being done, and the particulates you’re trying to collect. Your system should also be designed with future expansion in mind so that it can easily grow as your business grows.
Like your home heating and cooling system, an improperly sized dust collection system won’t effectively remove all of the particulates from the air, leading to poor air quality and potential health hazards. Additionally, an under-sized system will be overworked, causing frequent breakdowns and part replacements. A system that’s too large will be less energy efficient than a properly sized unit and end up costing you more money to operate.
A custom dust collection system with the help of the experts at Lapp Millwright will solve a variety of the problems native to store-bought or one-size-fits-all dust systems.
When it comes to industrial dust collection, don’t cut corners. Your new equipment should be of the highest quality, from initial design to the individual components. Quality dust collection systems from trusted manufacturers and installed properly are engineered for easy maintenance and cleaning, with filters that can be quickly and easily changed when necessary, and durable parts that won’t fail when they need to do their best work.
Additionally, your system should be designed to minimize the amount of particulate that escapes during filter changes. A quality dust collection system will use an automated or semi-automated filter cleaning system, such as a reverse pulse jet, to clean filters without releasing a cloud of particulates back into the air.
Not every facility needs the absolute top-of-the-line equipment, however, and at Lapp Millwright we have the expertise and experience to know what solution will best serve your facility, your employees, and your customers.
