Your Dust Problem, Solved End-to-End.

When your facility needs dust collection or fume extraction, you’re usually talking to multiple vendors — an engineer, an equipment supplier, an installer, and a service contractor. When something goes wrong, they blame each other. Before you spec a system, see our 2026 system cost guide so you understand what the full investment looks like, then come back here to understand how we remove the complexity entirely.

We own the entire process — design calculations, equipment selection, installation coordination, startup commissioning, operator training, and preventive maintenance. One company responsible for system performance. One phone number when issues arise. One team that knows your facility inside and out.

Everything Your Facility Needs — One Team

Industrial Design & Engineering Services

Every dust collection system starts with proper engineering. Your facility gets an on-site assessment covering process details, dust characteristics, layout, and compliance requirements. Our engineers calculate actual CFM requirements based on pickup velocity, conveying velocity, and duct sizing standards from ACGIH, SMACNA, and ASHRAE.

Your duct layout is designed to minimize pressure drop while maintaining proper transport velocities. Hood designs are optimized for your specific equipment and operations. Fan selections balance performance requirements with energy efficiency and noise considerations.

Your Engineering Deliverables

Your complete design package includes AutoCAD duct layouts showing sizes, materials, supports, and connection points. Equipment submittals provide specifications, performance curves, dimensional drawings, electrical requirements, and installation details. Calculation sheets document CFM requirements, static pressure analysis, fan horsepower, and energy consumption.

For projects requiring permit approval, we provide drawings and calculations. Explosion protection designs include NFPA 68 vent sizing calculations, deflagration-isolation details, and spark-detection specifications. All designs comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94 ventilation requirements and applicable NFPA standards. Architects and engineers can request our specification starter kit for early-stage coordination.

Dust Characterization & Testing

We coordinate dust testing to determine Kst values, minimum ignition energy, minimum explosive concentration, and particle size distribution. This data drives decisions on explosion protection and filter media selection. For operations processing multiple materials, we analyze worst-case scenarios and design appropriate safeguards.

Explosion Protection Assessments

Combustible dust explosions kill workers and destroy facilities. OSHA’s Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program targets facilities that generate explosive dusts — metal grinding operations, woodworking facilities, food manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing, and chemical handling operations.

Your facility gets a comprehensive dust hazard analysis (DHA) per NFPA 660 requirements (effective January 1, 2026). The DHA identifies all locations where combustible dust accumulates, evaluates potential ignition sources, determines required safeguards, and establishes housekeeping procedures — fully documented for OSHA compliance records and insurance requirements.

NFPA Compliance Services

Your explosion protection coverage spans NFPA 660 (consolidated combustible dust standard), NFPA 68 (explosion venting), and material-specific standards for wood processing, metal handling, and food manufacturing. We coordinate with local fire marshals and building officials to ensure your design meets all jurisdictional requirements.

Explosion protection options include passive venting, deflagration suppression systems, deflagration isolation, containment vessels, and spark detection with abort systems. We evaluate each option based on equipment location, building construction, proximity to occupied spaces, and cost considerations.

Housekeeping & Maintenance Protocols

OSHA prohibits dust accumulation exceeding 1/32 inch depth on any surface per 29 CFR 1910.22. Your facility gets specific housekeeping procedures, inspection checklists, and documentation systems to demonstrate compliance. Training programs teach your workers to recognize combustible dust hazards and follow proper cleaning procedures.

Turnkey Installation Services

Your installation covers equipment rigging, structural supports, ductwork fabrication, electrical coordination, control panel wiring, and startup commissioning. Our installation crews work efficiently to minimize production disruptions — for facilities that can’t shut down, we schedule installations during weekends or off-shifts.

Ductwork Fabrication & Installation

Your ductwork is fabricated to SMACNA standards using appropriate materials for your dust type — mild steel for general applications, stainless steel for food, pharmaceutical, and corrosive environments, aluminum for flammable metals, and galvanized steel for outdoor or high-moisture locations.

We use spiral duct for long runs, providing better airflow characteristics and cleaner appearance compared to rectangular duct. Connection methods include flanged joints with gasketing for leak-free performance, quick-disconnect clamps for maintenance access, and welded seams for critical applications. All ductwork includes proper supports, expansion joints, access doors, and cleanout ports.

Electrical Integration

We coordinate with your electrical contractors or provide complete electrical services including motor wiring, VFD installation, control panel mounting, interlock wiring, and control system programming. All electrical work complies with NEC requirements including proper grounding, bonding, and explosion-proof equipment where required.

Commissioning & Testing

Startup commissioning includes static pressure testing, airflow verification at each pickup point, filter differential pressure measurement, and control system functional testing. We document baseline performance data for comparison during future maintenance. Operator training covers system operation, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting, and safety protocols.

Ongoing Maintenance & Service

Your dust collection system requires regular maintenance to hold performance and stay OSHA-compliant. We provide scheduled preventive maintenance, emergency repair services, filter replacement programs, and performance optimization throughout Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Quarterly or semi-annual visits include filter inspection and replacement, pulse cleaning system testing, rotary airlock service, fan bearing lubrication, belt tension adjustment, electrical connection inspection, and grounding continuity verification. All maintenance activities are documented for your OSHA compliance records.

During each visit, we measure static pressure, verify airflow rates, check filter differential pressure, and compare current performance to baseline data. Declining performance indicates developing problems that we address before they cause system failure or production shutdown.

Filter Replacement Services

We stock replacement filters for all major manufacturers including Donaldson, Camfil, Farr, Torit, and AAF. Our aftermarket bags, cartridges, HEPA, and pleated filters meet or exceed OEM specifications at 30–40% lower cost.

Emergency Repair & Performance Optimization

When your dust collector goes down, we typically respond within 48 hours anywhere in the Southwest. Need to submit a maintenance request? Do it online or call us directly.

As your processes change and production increases, your system should keep pace. We provide upgrades to handle additional capacity, improve capture efficiency, reduce energy consumption, or add new pickup points — ductwork extensions, fan upgrades, additional filtration capacity, and control system enhancements.

Your Industry Has Specific Requirements

Each manufacturing environment presents unique dust characteristics, compliance requirements, and layout challenges. Here’s how we approach the industries we serve most.

Your Equipment Options — Every Application Covered

Geographic Service Area

We serve manufacturing facilities throughout the Southwest United States. Your facility is in our service territory if you’re in Arizona (Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma, Prescott), California (San Diego, Riverside, Imperial County, Inland Empire), Nevada (Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson), New Mexico (Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces), or Utah (Salt Lake City, Provo, St. George).

We maintain service vehicles and parts inventory strategically located across this territory to provide rapid response times. Emergency service averages 48 hours from call to on-site arrival. For facilities outside our standard service area, we evaluate projects on a case-by-case basis.
