Client Requirements & Challenges
The client required an engineered dust and fume extraction system compliant with Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) standards, designed specifically to control workplace particulate emissions and provide clean air for operators.
Engineering Solution Delivered
Project Overview
A major Sydney timber manufacturer required a turnkey extraction upgrade for their automated CNC sanding and sawing lines. The legacy system suffered from air pressure drops and excessive fine dust settlement across operator workstations.
Engineering Solution
ADFC designed and installed a custom Reverse Pulse Baghouse Unit delivering continuous 45,000 m³/hr airflow. The system incorporates anti-static needle felt filter sleeves, explosion-relief panels, and an automated variable frequency drive (VFD) fan controller.
Results & Client Feedback
Workplace air sampling confirmed a 99.9% reduction in airborne wood dust particles, fully satisfying Safe Work Australia exposure standards.
