Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are poisonous chemical substances that break down slowly and get into food chains as a result. The manufacture and sale of these are now banned. However, they are widely present in both the textiles and foam of domestic seating. Mobile fume extractors work by using a fume arm which attaches to the main unit to draw fumes from processes such as woodworking and welding, as well as smoke and other contaminants from the source. The Rover Resolve is ATEX rated to Zone22 (therefore Zone20 internally). The system is fully earthed throughout with antistatic filters, Atex rated fan, and the separate Nellie extraction arm will also need to be anti-static.

For high-performance dust extraction in environments that have an ATEX rating, ATEX dust extraction systems are vital. A Zone 22 ATEX rating is recognizing the accidental presence of explosive dust. ATEX extraction systems ensure that an industrial setting is compliant with the relevant health and safety regulations and are used across a range of different sectors. It might include woodworking dust extraction, flour dust extraction systems, aluminum and titanium dust extraction systems. Dust extraction systems are often an integral part of all kinds of manufacturing settings and other industrial settings. What unites all of these environments is that the processes they use generate dust and other fine particulate matter that can be potentially harmful to both people and machinery. These industries include metal machining, woodworking, general manufacturing, recycling, automotive and engineering, all of whom might incorporate industrial dust extraction units into their work environment. hr –100,000m3/hr+. Up to 80,000m3/hr per module, and multiple modules can be provided – so there is no upper limit on airflow. Any fines, dust, or particulates produced by the process are sent for destruction (or irreversible transformation).

High Quality Industrial Dust Extraction Units

Portable fume extraction is used across a wide variety of different industries and production processes. They are an essential component of any welding operation, and are frequently used in woodwork, sanding and grinding activities. They may also be used in environments where painting, plastic bonding, 3D printing, or working with epoxies is taking place. Any working environment where fumes and particulate matter is generated can benefit from a portable fume extractor. Exposure to fumes and particulate matter can be deadly. This might include occupational asthma, pneumonia, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ‘metal fume fever’. All of these are linked and have been connected to facilities where cutting and welding work takes place.

Thatcher Engineering Systems Pty Ltd, is an independently owned Australian trading company that has been selling and servicing machinery for the Sawmilling, Woodworking and Panel Equipment sectors for over 40 years, first starting in 1980 from premises in Geelong Rd, West Footscray Victoria, and moving to their current location in 1985 at 4 Govan Street Seaford Victoria. The Founder and Managing Director, Mr Russell Thatcher is still active in the day to day running of the company. The team at Thatchers are very pleased with the design and quality of the product range which has now become RHINO Panel Equipment, including our RHINO Hot and Cold Panel Presses, Timber Rotary Clamping Presses and Glue Spreaders – used by some of the largest in the Panel Industry including Corinthian Doors, William Russell Doors, Jeldwen, RE Spence, as well as many independent panel and door produces and major Fire Door Manufacturers.

The Resolve has an internal dropout zone allowing the majority of particulate to drop directly into the bin without effecting the filters. This increases the filter life and reduces the cleaning requirements. They create a healthier working environment, particularly for anyone undertaking close detail work using materials that are potentially hazardous to human health. Damaging particulates are filtered out of the environment helping to reduce the risk of serious health issues arising as a result of exposure. The Resolve extractor has two types of filter system. Firstly, is the manual-shake type arrangement which tends to be used in lower dust loading applications, typically less than 2hrs/day. This is a cost saving option. For higher dust usage, we provide an automatic cleaning option which can be set up via the compressed air controller to clean itself as often as necessary using compressed air. hr – 5,000m3/hr, can be for forced or passive ventilation streams. Modular and can be installed in parallel for increased airflow on high concentration applications. Dust extraction systems or dust extraction units are used in factories, industrial and other manufacturing settings to remove dust particles at source. They reduce and remove all kinds of particles from the working environment during the manufacturing and production process. They purify and filter hazardous dusts and any fine particulate contaminants and improve air quality within the work environment. In short, a dust extraction system removes dust particles and other particulates that can threaten health and efficient work processes.
