III Grinding & Polishing Dust and Fume Extraction Systems

Maintaining clean air in grinding and polishing operations protects workers from harmful dust exposure, improves overall productivity, and ensures compliance with occupational safety regulations.

Grinding and polishing processes generate fine dust and particulate matter that pose significant health risks if not properly controlled. Without effective dust extraction, these airborne particles accumulate in the workspace, creating an unhealthy environment for operators and reducing overall workplace safety.

An unprotected environment not only threatens worker health but also results in reduced efficiency, increased equipment wear, and long-term productivity losses. Moreover, as awareness of occupational health and safety continues to grow, companies that fail to implement adequate protective measures face greater difficulty retaining skilled labor and risk serious legal consequences.

On the other hand, organizations that invest in advanced dust collection systems for grinding and polishing operations foster healthier work conditions, enhance employee satisfaction, and ensure uninterrupted, sustainable production.

III Why Clean Air?

HEALTH RISKS

Grinding and polishing processes release fine dust and particles that are hazardous to health. If these contaminants are not effectively removed from the workspace, they create an unsafe environment that puts worker well-being at risk. Poor air quality leads to decreased efficiency, equipment problems, and employee dissatisfaction. Companies that ignore these risks may face legal consequences and talent shortages, while those prioritizing safety benefit from higher productivity and sustainable operations.

LOSS OF PRODUCTION

If not properly controlled, dust generated during grinding and polishing can negatively impact factory efficiency. Fine particles can infiltrate machinery and electrical panels, causing malfunctions, unexpected downtimes, and reduced performance. Dust accumulation on equipment and products also increases cleaning needs and maintenance costs. Skilled workers prefer clean, healthy work environments — and often make job choices based on these conditions.

III What is LEV?

LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION

LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) systems are essential for controlling and capturing harmful dust generated during grinding and polishing processes. These systems work by collecting airborne contaminants directly at the source—before they can spread throughout the workspace.

A typical LEV setup includes hoods, ducts, fans, and filters, all working together to extract fine particles produced by surface finishing tasks. By minimizing workers’ exposure to hazardous dust, LEV systems not only protect health but also support regulatory compliance and create a cleaner, more efficient working environment.

LEV Solutions -
Single Source Extraction

LEV solutions for single-source extraction are essential for companies where grinding and polishing stations are frequently moved or spread across the facility. Discover Bomaksan’s tailored solutions designed for flexible and efficient dust control at the source.

III LEV FOR SINGLE SOURCE

SINGLE SOURCE EXTRACTION

Grinding and polishing operations can vary significantly. In some facilities, workstations are fixed and rarely change position, while in others, the tasks are carried out in different locations or on mobile setups. In such dynamic environments, installing a centralized dust collection system is often not practical.

For these cases, single-source extraction units are ideal. They are specifically designed for businesses where grinding or polishing stations are frequently relocated or positioned far apart.

MULTIPLE SOURCE EXTRACTION

Grinding and polishing tasks are often performed at fixed workstations. In such cases, installing a central dust extraction system is the most effective and efficient solution.

For companies where workstation locations remain stable, a central or multi-source extraction system is a feasible and long-term investment. When combined with heat recovery technology, the return on investment can be significantly accelerated.

This is especially important in heated production halls, where recovering some or all of the extracted warm air helps reduce energy costs and supports sustainability goals.

Multiple Source Extraction

LEV solutions for multiple-source extraction are ideal for companies with fixed grinding and polishing stations. Explore Bomaksan’s solutions designed for efficient and centralized dust control in stable production environments.
Hall Ventilation

General Hall Ventilation

General Hall Ventilation plays a key role in improving indoor air quality, especially in environments where LEV solutions are either not feasible or insufficient on their own. It serves as an effective complementary system to ensure cleaner air in large or complex grinding and polishing areas.
GENERAL HALL VENTILATION

The main purpose of General Hall Ventilation (GHV) systems is to improve overall indoor air quality. Unlike source capture systems, they do not extract pollutants at the source but clean the ambient air within the facility.

When combined with integrated filtration, GHV systems help recover heat more effectively, reducing energy consumption and shortening the return on investment period. Among various air cleaning methods, the most efficient is the Layered Ventilation Technique.

Bomaksan GHV systems are designed based on this technique to maximize system efficiency and provide clean, energy-efficient air circulation.

FUME EXTRACTION FOR AUTOMATIC GRINDING

Grinding and polishing with automated or robotic systems can generate substantial amounts of fine dust, which, if not properly controlled, may spread across the facility. Effective dust extraction is essential to protect worker health and maintain air quality.

Designing a reliable extraction system for robotic grinding or polishing can be complex. The movement range of the robot and the geometry of the processed part determine the most suitable extraction and filtration method.

When possible, LEV systems offer the most effective solution for capturing dust at the source. However, in cases where source capture is insufficient or impractical, LEV systems should be supported with General Hall Ventilation to ensure complete air cleaning.

Bomaksan brings proven expertise in designing and implementing dust extraction systems for robotic and automated grinding applications. With a broad product portfolio, Bomaksan offers tailored solutions to meet your operational needs efficiently.
