Industrial Maid has
designed a unique extraction booth for the industrial workplace to help with dust
silica,
magnesium chloride dust control, zinc oxide fumes and many other
types of
fugitive dust. The dual draw system incorporates a three stage media
style commercial air cleaner system, powered by a totally enclosed motor and belt drive
blower package. Three standard sizes are available - 6” width, 10’ width and
20’ width. The booth housing is modular in design with acoustical sound
control. This dust control booth module has fork lift slips and an airflow range
from 4,500 to 15,000 CFM. As with other industrial dust control equipment we
manufacture, the outer cabinet
shell features a recycled
density polyethylene plastic, making it
lighter, quieter, less expensive and more environmentally friendly than a
typical carbon steel cabinet. The dust room systems do not require use of
compressed air and have a
lower energy consumption rate as compared to
similar cartridge style units.

Types
of Applications where a
proper Fugitive Dust
Collection/Extraction System
is imperative:
-
ZINC OXIDE FUME BOOTH
Based on much research
OSHA has
published information regarding the effects of
Zinc oxide dust on humans. Although usually considered
to be mainly a nuisance dust, workers exposed to high levels of
zinc oxide dust can develop respiratory health complications.
Inhaling concentrations ranging from up to 430 mg/m(3) [chest
pain] to 600 mg/m(3) [rattling breath, coughing, pain and
irritation]. Workers inhaling zinc oxide
fumes have been known to develop what is commonly referred to as
"fume fever"
described by the American Welding Society as flu-like symptoms.
In addition, frequent skin contact with zinc oxide can lead to
unpleasant eruptions on skin on various areas of the body.
-
SILICA DUST
EXTRACTION BOOTH
Silica is most often recognized as the main
element in common minerals like sandstone and granite. But
many industrial workplaces where grinding occurs on a daily
basis do not realize that many other common construction
materials like clay bricks,
concrete, tiles and fibro cement products contain silica.
Grinding, cutting or drilling of these materials creates fine silica
dust particles to be suspended in a worker's breathing space.
Initially, exposure to silica dust will result in irritation of
the eyes, nose and throat. But upon exposure to high
levels of very fine silica dust or lower levels over a long
period of time, a serious lung disease called silicosis often
occurs. This disease is caused by a build up of silica
dust in the lungs that leads to scarring and stiffness that
results in labored breathing and shortness of breath. In
addition to resulting in permanent heart and lung disease, after
exhaustive research the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) has also classified
crystalline silica dust as a human carcinogen. For
easy reference regarding the importance of protecting workers
from overexposure to silica dust refer to OSHA's
crystalline fact sheet.
-
CALCIUM CHLORIDE DUST CONTROL BOOTH
Calcium chloride is considered to be a very low level toxin
but when inhaled can cause upper respiratory tract irritation.
The most important reason for using a proper dust collection
system however, is that
calcium chloride dust
can be hazardous as a reactionary element. Mixing it with water
generates a considerable amount of heat creating a burn risk,
dust that settles on the floor of a work area can absorb
moisture and become slippery, and when heated toxic chlorine
fumes can result.
-
MAGNESIUM
CHLORIDE DUST CONTROL BOOTH,
Volume 1 By Jeffrey W.
Vincoli
There are many occurrences of magnesium
chloride in the industrial workplace. The preparation of
cement and refrigeration brine, manufacturing some ceramics,
textiles and papers, fireproofing equipment and wood, cooling
drilling tools and de-icing surfaces are just a few of its
common uses. In his book
"Risk
Management for Hazardous Chemicals" Jeffrey w. Vincoli
points out that magnesium
chloride is considered to be moderately toxic when inhaled as it
often causes sneezing, cough, and irritation of the nose and
throat. Particles and dust containing magnesium can
irritate eyes and nasal passages to the point of experiencing
membrane tearing and nosebleeds. Also, when magnesium dust
comes in contact with the water in bronchial passages it is
possible that a caustic form of magnesium hydroxide can result
which can lead to serious burns and tissue damage.
-
WOOD DUST COLLECTION BOOTH
In numerous publications
OSHA emphasizes the importance of recognizing the multiple
hazards associated with
wood dust exposure in the workplace. It is even important to
identify the
type
of wood being processed when assessing the potential health
consequences. Those consequences run the gamut from
irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat to pulmonary function
impairment to the classification of wood dust as a
human carcinogen.
Also of utmost importance is the fact that
airborne dust can create the
potential for a dust explosion.
EPA
White paper explains how industrial dust control is important in
reducing storm water pollution

Industrial fugitive dust control is cited by the EPA as an important
way to reduce surface and air transport of dust, thereby minimizing
the introduction of potential pollutants into storm water.
