Industries We Provide Extraction Applications For
Abrasive blasting generates a high volume of air-borne dust particles and the only successful method of control and capture is high-ventilation inside an enclosed booth. Airflow is calculated based on the booth dimensions and horizontal air-flow through the booth must be achieved. A central Cartridge Dust collector is the accepted industry standard extraction method, the unit is usually provided with a pre-decantation chamber to extend filter-life-expectancy. Automatic Reverse-pulse cleaning by compressed air is essential.
Aluminium and composite dust and fume extraction and vacuum systems are available for grinding structures and components. Aluminium welding, non-destructive testing (NDT), rotor maintenance and engine overhaul all require specialist extract equipment. Egmont Air is able to recommend extraction systems for each and every application.
Grain, palm kernel and similar feed & seed products offer many challenges so far as abrasion, dust control, heat dissipation, humidity etc are concerned. The extraction system must be designed with respect to the process and carry-over dust extracted while maintaining product quality.

Vehicle exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide are extremely dangerous in enclosed areas but can be effectively extracted using hose-reel extractors. Egmont Air offer solutions for other automotive applications such as radiator lead fume extraction, and paint-spray bake ovens.
Most boats are constructed from composites, aluminium, fibre-glass or timber joinery as well as chopper guns, gel-coating and spray-painting processes. Egmont Air specialises in dust & fume extraction solutions for the boat building and manufacturing industry having built several systems for world-class manufacturers in New Zealand. Fume ventilation, heating are auxiliary components provided as part of the Egmont Air extraction system. Contact us for more details.
Particular care must be taken analysing the pollutant for hydroscopic, explosive or congealing proprieties when selecting the filtration media. Air-to-cloth ratio and filtering area must be also carefully specified for each application. Atex rated extractors and safe design are critical with special dusts such as cement, palm kernel, flour, sugar, carbon and other powders.
Polymers, chloride methyl bromide, MEK, styrene and other chemical and solvent fumes and vapours can be extracted providing the airflow specification is designed to capture the toxic fumes at source before they reach the operators breathing zone or spread throughout the working environment. Fume cupboards, carbon filters, scrubbers and HEPA filters are products available for this application.
Dust and Fume extraction for college, school, university or training centres covers a variety of applications such as joinery work, laboratory, metal work, soldering and bone carving. Egmont Air have a large range of extractors, fume cupboards and air-cleaners for these applications and work with mechanical contractors and architects to achieve the best solution for each institution. All systems complete a ‘Certificate of Fitness’ to comply with local regulatory authorities
Technology is making a significant impact on today’s engineers with the introduction of CNC machinery and processes. Smoke, fume and dust particles are rapidly created and must be extracted before they reach the operators breathing zone or spread through the working environment. Egmont Air believe that a cleaner and healthier workplace is more productive and makes a significant positive impact on employee well-being and daily performance.
316 Stainless steel construction and Atex rated equipment is usually required for food industry applications. Flour, sugar, salt, diatomaceous earth, cacogenic dusts and similar products are noted for health, corrosive and explosive risks. Collection or disposal of captured particles will be depend on product recovery or disposal.

Heat and smoke extraction created over a large pouring area can be captured and extracted by a central extraction system. Furnace operation, tank size, mold placement, pour size are critical factors when evaluating and selecting an appropriate extraction system for a foundry or hot-dip galvanising factory. Clean-air discharge certification is easily achievable and supplied with Egmont Air extraction systems.
Powerful suction at each machine makes all the difference to keeping your factory clean, healthy and productive, especially where CNC machinery and speed-sanders are concerned. The Egmont Air range of modular bag-house extractors allows indoor or outdoor location for central dust collection. The modular construction allows future proofing and a range of series to suit all budgets and size workshops.
Many CNC Machining and traditional surface grinding operations use coolant to achieve optimum cutting performance and increase tool life-expectancy, even with enclosed cabins, a slight vacuum will prevent the dispersion of sticky particles into the operators breathing zone or throughout the workshop. Extractor units use a centrifugal separator and 2-stage media filtration to ensure purified air is returned to the workspace. Residue oil and coolant is collected for recycling or disposal.
Specialised extraction equipment is required to cope with the specific hygiene standards and quality control associated with the Pharmaceutical industry. Dust collection from spray dryers, tableting, encapsulation etc can be extracted safely and effectively without compromising hygiene or quality. Egmont Air’s 100% performance guarantee provides assurance of high efficiency filtration and certified airflow performance for pharmaceutical applications.
Plasma smoke generates a high combination of fine-dust and fume. Egmont Air is experienced in the design of extraction systems for CNC laser and plasma machines. Working with many CNC machinery suppliers, Egmont Air have developed a high-efficiency extraction system that maintains clean air in the factory and guarantees clean air discharge too. Most systems incorporate automatic reverse-pulse cleaning, spark-traps, dust collection bin, flame-retardant media and long-life filters.
High volume production of shavings from sawmill applications requires an Egmont Air extraction system fitted with premium features such as automatic reverse cleaning, decantation chambers, antistatic filter media, and heavy-gauge construction. Airflow design must be specified to convey wet or dry shavings so duct work is always clean and the maximum possible amount of shavings are extracted from the machinery area. Spark detection and extinguishing systems, silo loading, container loading, variable fan speed, eco-power saving are auxiliary equipment that Egmont Air supply and fit to any extraction system.
Low density particles can be easily captured by dust extraction systems but often prove more difficult to filter. Pre-cyclone separators, air screens and cartridge shields can be utilised to collect and compact waste into bales or briquettes for recycling. Shredders, grinders and paper-cutters may also be required to pre-process the waste strips before entering the dust collector.
Extraction for protective coatings is usually designed around a designated clean-room enclosure, consideration of product size, batch size and other process factors. Zinc and Aluminium provide potential explosion risk and dust captured from these processes must be captured, filtered and collected to comply with Atex regulations.
Increased productivity and through-put is a direct result of utilising the Egmont Air ‘premium-series’ modular bag-house filters. Heavy-gauge construction, high filter-surface area, rotary-valve discharge, bin loading options, automatic filter-cleaning are features that Egmont Air filters use to handle large volume of dust and shavings. Egmont Air also provide diverter systems to separate treated CCA or LOSP shavings from clean non-treated shavings. Avoid timber bruising and reduce cutter-blade maintenance with our Eco-power saving device which automatically regulates optimum suction to provide significant power savings on dust extraction systems.
Smoke, fume from welding process contain a high level of oxides that are quickly migrate through the working area, aided by heat. These contaminates have a proven risk of respiratory problems and certain lung damage over time. The toxins cannot be dispersed by the human body and can result in disease such as chemical pneumonitis, metal fume fever, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer.
The smoke and fume must be extracted before it reaches the operators breathing zone or spread through the working environment. Egmont Air has many types of extraction methods and devices for all types of welding processes and activity
