Title Cost Effective Dust Collection for the Composite Manufacturing Industry
Author Kenneth E. Abbott
Company Envirosystems Manufacturing, LLC
Synopsis
Dust collection is a necessary requirement in many industries and the Composite industry is no exception. Air borne dust, even which regarded only as nuisance dust, is not only a housekeeping expense but will also reduce a worker's productivity and contaminate product. No matter what type of system you may decide to use, it is important to know the factors that determine, not only the efficiency of the system, but also the cost of operation. You don’t necessarily want the least expensive and you certainly don’t want the most expensive. What you want is the most cost effective.
