Dust Collection System Design
Dust Collection System Engineering Design Services
AST Canada offers engineering design services for dust collection systems and ventilation systems through its sister-company, AST Engineering Inc. as part of the AST Group of Companies
AST Engineering Inc has more than 35 years experience in the dust collector and ventilation system industries. They are licenced by the PEO – Professional Engineers of Ontario, to offer engineering design services to the public.
Dust Collection & Ventilation System Design
Determining the type of dust collector, ductwork sizing, required airflow and static pressure in the dust collection system depends upon a number of design factors. The first step is to determine the type of dusts the plant operations create, including welding fumes and machining lubricant mist. The system must be designed to maintain a safe working environment for employees including air quality, slip and fall hazards due to lubricant mist and explosion mitigation for explosive dust combinations.
Customized Engineering Design Solutions
Designing a dust collection system requires the services of a Professional Engineer. There are many factors to take into account when designing a new installation and even more considerations when adding to an existing ventilation system. We take into account things like plant layout and obstrutions, types of materials being handled, requirements for air-makeup systems, types of filtration required and likely process additions to the factory. Our experience in the dust, fume and mist collection services is why we are leaders in this industry.
3D Modelling of Design Solutions
One of the tools we use to make calculations for dust collector or fume collection system design is SolidWorks 3D Modelling software. By using our comprehensive library of solid parts, this design software allows us to generate 3-dimensional models of the proposed system. These 3D models are conceptual and help the designers, manufacturers, client and installers to have the same vision of the completed project. The level of detail in the models helps to streamline the installation process of the system.
AST Canada has been helping clients find solutions for their unique Dust, Mist & Fume Collection needs for more than 40 years.
We can help you too.
