Safety in production departments: how extraction booths and benches reduce industrial dust
Managing industrial dust is a delicate balance of regulatory compliance, economic sustainability, and responsibility towards workers. Sooner or later, every manufacturing company will have to face this challenge.
The hidden cost of non-compliance
When we think about industrial safety, we often focus on major incidents. However, industrial dust are a silent threat: saturated environments with damaging particles bring consequences far beyond administrative fines.
Unscheduled production stops caused by clogged systems can be very expensive. Diseases linked to prolonged dust exposure may lead to legal disputes, and a company’s reputation can suffer.
There’s also a more immediate effect: productivity. Machines operating in clean environments perform better than those in dusty conditions. It’s not just about extraordinary maintenance, but everyday operational efficiency.
Suction benches and dust cabins
The Atmosphere product line offers two distinct approaches to dust control, each with features tailored to different working contexts.
Suction benches are ideal for precision work: they provide targeted control through nozzles and filters distributed around the perimeter, with a central tunnel for uniform suction on three sides. This setup is particularly effective in case of direct handling of materials, where the operator needs full access while maintaining optimal dust control.
Dust cabins, on the other hand, are designed for larger volumes and more complex processes. Their double veil technology combines the mechanical action of a water wall - capturing heavier particles - with advanced filtration systems that remove finer dust. The latest generation of dry booths takes purification even further, integrating up to 15.6 square meters of filter fabric per linear meter of structure.
Integration into the production process
Treat dust extraction systems as accessories and not as core components of production processes is a very common mistake. A well-integrated system doesn’t slow down production, but it rather optimizes it. With Atmosphere, solutions can be seamlessly incorporated into existing spaces while respecting established workflows.
In recent years, industrial dust management has become a marker of corporate responsibility. Investing in advanced extraction systems shows a commitment not just to sustainability, but also to safety, quality, and operational continuity. In B2B world, clients increasingly evaluate suppliers based on their risk management practices.
Choosing an effective dust extraction system is therefore part of a broader competitive positioning strategy. Contact our experts for an analysis of your work environment!
