Bench-style dust extraction for Senior Aerospace

May 21, 2008

Carter Environmental Engineers (CEE) has installed a W50 Dustand Nonflam at the Bird Bellows division of Senior Aerospace to handle dust generated in titanium polishing operations.

At its Congleton plant the company designs and manufactures precision engineered metallic bellows, flexible joints and duct components for aircraft ducting systems and engine applications. Established products range in size from general aviation applications up to the largest units required for the Airbus A380.  The unit installed by CEE is designed to act as a bench for a double ended polishing machine, but can equally well be installed under existing workbenches.  Recently introduced by CEE, the compact new W50 Dustand Nonflam wet dust extractor combines highly effective operation with unique space-saving characteristics.

It is especially at home in operations where hot sparks are produced, as well as damp dusts that are ideally collected in water.

Improved features on the new W50 model include: better access to the scrubbing section for more effective cleaning; greater air flow capacity; more reliable water level control; improved scrubbing action; easier access to the inducer baffles.

Nonflam extractors are among the UK's most tried and trusted wet dust collectors, with proven performance over many years.   They may be sized to meet most industrial applications and are a simple and robust unit for use with flammable, explosive or wet and sticky dusts.

The units can provide an inexpensive way of meeting a company’s obligations under the DSEAR legislation and ATEX Directive, due the virtually non-existent ignition risk. CEE can also supply all ducting and a full installation service, with advice on the latest COSHH requirements.
