Dust collectors perform a simple task, that is to filter dust from the airstream and vent the filtered air to a designated location — simple right?
There are many types of dust:
- dry dust
- wet dust
- ultra-fine dust
- toxic dust
- explosive dust
- abrasive dust
- statically charged dust
- dust you want to keep – like gold dust
We offer a variety of dust collectors and accompanying equipment to create solutions for your specific dust challenges.

Choosing the Right Dust Collector
Choosing a proper dust collection system is an important consideration for any industry in Canada. Environmental concerns for plant air quality for employees coupled with the overall concerns for the natural environment around your organization make choosing the right dust collector of paramount importance. Air Separation Technologies (AST Canada) has decades of experience designing, installing and maintaining dust collection systems in Ontario.
Factors Affecting Dust Collector Choice
The right type of dust collection equipment depends upon many factors: the application itself, the dust type, dust size, dust load, dust temperature, probability of dust induced explosions, the humidity of the dust environment, duty-cycle of the dust collection system and the jurisdictional requirement plus other factors. There can also be considerations of air recirculation and energy-cost reduction. We can help you choose the right system for your needs.
