MOBILE DUST EXTRACTION
Dust is an unavoidable side-effect of abrasive sanding and the risks associated with the creation of dust are well known
The main issue faced from poor dust management is the health, safety, and well-being of people who work closest to the source. These people are more likely to suffer from long-term and serious health effects including silicosis, a debilitating condition which often proves fatal.
In addition to the personal costs placed on an individual, poor dust management is costing businesses and their insurers tens of thousands of dollars each day. But did you know that dust is costing your business money in the immediate term as well?
Dust build-up within abrasive tooling increases the costs related to consumable abrasives, while the loss of productivity stemming from repeated cleaning and cross contamination adds significantly to your bottom line.
RUPES knows health, safety, cleanliness, and efficiency is paramount to the success of your business and has over 30 years’ experience in the field. Along with their quality sanders, polishers, and consumable products, we’ve led the way in designing and manufacturing dust extraction units to suit a wide variety of industries and dust by-products, including carbon fibre and aluminium.
