16 October 2018, Sweetcrude, Lagos — Removing hazardous dust on an industrial scale has been made easier thanks to the UK’s leading dust extracting specialist launching a high performance, gas-powered extractor on the market.
Dustcontrol UK’s new and innovative propane-driven DC Storm LPG can last up to eight hours and doesn’t require any cables, making it ideal for environments with a limited supply of electricity.
The robust machine’s 15 kW/21hp motor has the capacity to manage dust extraction in conjunction with work involving large-scale concrete construction and brickwork projects.
In addition to operating without electricity, the DC Storm LPG is also High (H) class, meaning it offers a higher degree of filtration, with a filter leakage of less than 0.005%. Equipped with a HEPA H13 filter, it comfortably exceeds UK minimum standards for silica dust and other harmful properties.
James Miller, Managing Director of Dustcontrol UK, said: “The DC Storm LPG is our most powerful mobile dust extraction machine to date. It’s perfect for a large warehouse, civil and railway environments where electricity is not available or limited. What’s more, being run on propane makes it an environmentally friendly option, as opposed to fossil-derived electric.
“It can be used to extract harmful dust created from floor grinders, hammer drills, scarifiers or cutting machines. It can also perform heavy-duty cleaning with a long suction hose.”
The compact machine also comes equipped with USB-charging ports, LED lighting and forklift pockets, making it easy to transport.
James concluded: “The DC Storm LPG can also be used in conjunction with any kind of surface preparation, demolition and renovation work. Its effective dust extracting capabilities are very impressive.”
