TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dust collection systems are commonly installed in industries and factories. The dust collection system is considered a system to protect the environment and protect the health of workers. However, in some cases, the dust collection and collection system is considered unsafe.

Learn with System Fan Global in this article: the telltale signs of an unsafe dust collection system.

The environment has a lot of dust

In the factory environment, a dust collection system has been installed. Normally, the space will be clean and airy. If there are signs of dust leakage in the collection environment. There is a lot of dust in the factory environment, indicating that the dust collection system is operating inefficiently and unsafely.

Dust can leak from many parts of the system such as leaks from the duct system, inefficient vacuuming fans, etc.

Low airflow

The low airflow from the exhaust fan device leads to the failure to thoroughly absorb the amount of dust in the environment. Or there is a situation where dust is sucked inside but there is not enough operating pressure or transmission speed to load dust to the treatment area. Dust is deposited in the air duct system. They accumulate and are highly flammable, causing potential hazards in the system.

Unsuitable suppression system

The lack of explosion-proof equipment in the dust collection and filtration system is the cause of potential hazards to the plant and people. Improperly designed vents and explosion prevention systems can cause explosions.

The dust extraction system needs to operate stably and sustainably for a long time. The investment for the dust collection system is also not a small number. Therefore, during the installation process, it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of combustible dust and install enough fire prevention devices …

Making annoying noises

Suddenly the system makes an annoying noise, strange noises are coming out. Then this could be a sign that your dust collection system is problematic or unsafe. For example, noise can be caused by industrial fan equipment, emitted by foreign objects trapped inside the duct, noise caused by metal friction with metal, etc. Need to check where the noise is coming from and how to deal with it.

The above are just a few signs of an unsafe dust collection system. There may be other causes not mentioned. Hope this information helps you identify unsafe vacuuming systems and have effective treatment methods.
