Dust Extractor Vacuum (DEV)

Aliases: Dust Extractor

A dust extractor vacuum is a specialized piece of engineering control equipment used in construction. Its primary function is to effectively capture and remove dust and airborne particles from the environment. These machines are designed to improve air quality and reduce the health risks associated with inhaling dust and fine particles.

Dust extractor vacuums are crucial for controlling the dispersion of harmful substances like respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust. They typically feature strong suction capabilities and filters that can trap and contain fine dust particles, preventing them from becoming airborne and posing health hazards to workers.

Dust extractors are commonly equipped with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, which are highly efficient at capturing even tiny particles. This makes dust extractor vacuums essential tools in safeguarding the health and safety of workers on jobsites where dust and airborne contaminants are prevalent.
