Dustless sanding

For most dusts produced today you will need to use one of either of the below filter types to comply with Health and Safety regulations.

M Class Vacuum which filter 99.95% of all dust extracted. This means the air that’s exhausted has particles of dust less than 0.1mg still present.

H Class Vacuum which filter 99.997% of all dust extracted. Filtering out more of the finer dust particles that can be harmful.

With vacuums ranging from small tool vacuums such as the Starmix i-Pulse and the Maxvac DV35 to large mobile and fixed vacuum systems we have something for every situation and budget.

Ultimately, as employers you’ll need to protect your workforce and using dated equipment can pose serious health, safety and legal implications. So, whether you’re grinding concrete, sanding plaster, wood or paint, sweeping or even draining flooded rooms - tackle it with the correct equipment and keep the air clean.

It’s the unseen dust which can be the most harmful to your workforce, so total dust control in the work area is paramount. That’s why here at Addex we work with manufacturers who have developed a range of high performance air cleaning solutions which our clients have come to rely on for the safe collection and management of that fine and hazardous dust on site.

As Jason from Lockyer Property Services explained “it saves clearing up the fine dust at the end of a job. This makes it very good for working in public areas as it keeps areas free from dust.”

We all know excessive exposure to dust can be linked to very serious health issues, such as lung cancer or asthma, so as an employer you have a duty to reduce that risk wherever possible.

In the workplace rocks, sand, clay, bricks and concrete create dust called Silica when they are cut, sanded or carved. Some of this dust is too fine to see under normal lighting but once inhaled deeply into the lungs can be lethal.

Wood dust can also cause serious health problems such as asthma, a problem particularly for carpenters and joiners working on site. Current legislation states that softwood, hardwood dust and formaldehyde are considered hazardous to health.

With our range of innovative products Addex are continuously striving to protect you and your employees on site by making dust control a priority. With the Maxvac range of dustless sanding tools and the correct vacuums, air cleaners and accessories your work environment really can be a safer place.
