Installing Central Dust Collectors Compliant with Regulations

Wood Dust

IVEC System Guarantees Velocity and Saves Energy

The Challenge

Cabinetry Plus is a Midwest manufacturer of wood cabinets. The wood shop had three dust collectors that were noncompliant units located in the interior of the building. The three separate systems were loud, decentralized, difficult to maintain and unable to deliver the correct CFM and velocity capacity.

The Solution

An IVEC Steward control system and a Belfab central dust collector were installed and ducted in compliance with all regulations. The Steward control system starts the dust collector blower automatically, opens and closes gates at the various processes, and delivers the correct CFM. IVEC Steward continues to monitor the duct velocities in real time. With the IVEC Steward system installed, the system starts and stops automatically, guaranteeing ventilation at the wood devices, maintaining capacity at every drop and saving energy.

Cabinetry Plus chose the IVEC Steward option.
