Dust Extractors
LAVINA Dust Extractors
Our industrial grade dust extractors protect workers, keep jobsites compliant, improve grinding efficiency, and deliver cleaner floors with less downtime.
Dust extractors are critical equipment in concrete grinding and polishing because they control hazardous dust, and protect both workers and equipment. When grinding concrete, large amounts of fine silica dust are produced, which can create serious health risks and jobsite problems if not properly managed. To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial for worksites to implement comprehensive safety measures.
Regulations from organizations like Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require dust control systems when grinding concrete to limit worker exposure. A proper dust extractor with HEPA filtration captures the dangerous particles before they enter the breathing zone. Moreover, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators should be used by all workers exposed to concrete dust. Regular training on the dangers of silica dust and the importance of following safety protocols is essential to protect worker health. Employers must also conduct air quality assessments to ensure that silica dust levels are kept below the permissible exposure limit set by occupational health and safety regulations.
LAVINA Dust Extractors are equipped with high quality filters, powerful suction, dust bagging system and other user-friendly features for optimal dust management. These industrial grade vacuums are offered in electric and propane models in different sizes to match your grinder.
For optimal performance:
-
The vacuum CFM should match the grinder size
-
Hose diameter should match the grinder dust port
-
Power supply must match jobsite power (single-phase vs three-phase)
A vacuum that is too small will lose suction quickly, allowing dust to escape.
