Description

5-Way, Multi-user, Portable Dust Collection System to conform to OSHA Directive 1926.1153 for Crystalline Silica containment. This compressed air powered system can be used with compressed air powered tools or electric tools. It can be used with percussion tools, drills, saws or grinders, and each line is designed to work with one tool at a time. The unit requires approximately 245 cfm of compressed air at 90 psi (pressure required for most air tools to operate properly) to create the suction (vacuum) needed to draw the dust away from the work being performed. This compressed air requirement is broken down as follows. Each line uses a TX-2AM Mini Air Mover to create the suction (vacuum), and each Mini Air Mover uses approximately 40 cfm at 90 psi. If all five lines are being used, then a total of 200 cfm is required. All five vacuum lines merge into one shroud that is attached to a TX-3AM-P Air Mover.

This Air Mover is used to deliver the collected dust from all five vacuum lines to the filter, and it uses approximately 45 cfm of compressed air at 90 psi. They are portable systems that have no moving parts, and therefore, minimal maintenance. The HEPA filters have a 2 to 3 year life expectancy, can be easily cleaned with compressed air and can occassionally be washed. Since these Dust Collection Systems do not use water as an aid in dust reduction, they can be used all year long and in all climates. The systems are small and portable for use indoors or outdoors. The collected dust and debris is not considered hazardous waste so it can be discarded with the trash. In order to lessen the potential risk of exposure to airborne dust, filters and canisters are located a minimum of 30′ from the operator via vacuum hoses or ducting. When canisters require the dust and debris to be removed, that large plastic bags allow plenty of room to seal the dust prior to removal from the canister.
