Dust Collection in the Wood Industry
Dust collection is vital to lumber mills, hardboard plants, and wood shops because of the headaches wood dust cause.
Not only does wood dust propose a health hazard, but it is also a safety issue. Dust collection is one of the biggest
difficulties facing the wood products industry but Aerodyne dust collectors allow for easy
reclamation of valuable wood dust which can be sold for a variety of uses.

| With the installation of an Aerodyne cyclone dust collector, this Virginia
hardboard plant has achieved reduced fire hazard, extensive re-use of
collected product, and control of particulate emissions from plant
stacks.
This plant has installed six of these cyclonic dust collectors, handling
from 5,000 to 22,500 cfm of dirty gas each. The Aerodyne dust collectors
operate under positive pressure on dirty air loaded with up to six grains
per cubic food of wood dust, permitting re-use of collected dust. The
ease of product reclamation the Aerodyne dust collector provides lends itself well to
the wood products industry. Once considered waste material, wood dust
is now a valuable product with a wide variety of uses. |
