Dust Suppression

Establishing a safe, healthy, and effective work environment involves the management of dust. Dust suppression focuses on areas that dust collection isn’t able to effectively deal with. This can include dust that accumulates in hard-to-access areas and can become a potential explosion hazard. Airmax has different dust suppression systems that can be customized to suit your specific application.

SonicAire Robotic Fans

Robotic fans are the engineered solution to dealing with fugitive dust. These fans use high air velocity to disrupt the thermal currents, which carry the dust up into hard-to-reach areas. This creates an overhead barrier which prevents the dust from settling on overhead structures.

Tired of doing a plant shutdown in order to clean up dust? The SonicAire fan cleans continuously while a plant is running, which reduces the reliance on employees to clean in dangerous areas and means fewer disruptions to productivity. Using the SonicAire fan allows you to transform a Class 2 Hazardous Area into an unclassified area, which eliminates the requirement of having expensive explosion proof equipment. Additionally, the fans reduce energy costs by eliminating heat stratification.

The SonicAire fan gives you a full range of clean. It offers a full 360 degree rotation and a 140 degree vertical oscillation. The fan models available include the SA 2.0, the SA 1.0, and the SA 1.0 compact. Different mounting brackets allow you to mount from virtually any surface, and control panel options let you integrate the fan with existing fire protection systems and run the fans from an automatic timer.

Misting Fans

Misting fans are an effective solution for controlling dust and odors in open areas and outdoor locations. Applications for misters include use in the Agricultural, Food Processing, Mining, and Recycling industries. 

Misters atomize the water to micron droplets and attach themselves to the dust particles, causing them to drop to the ground. Advantages of misting include the flexibility of configuration and ease of use. Contact Airmax to determine the right solution for your needs.
