Dust Control Systems

Impact Air Systems delivers expertly engineered dust control solutions to meet the demands of modern production environments.
With decades of experience, we design, supply, and install robust, proven systems tailored to your operation — from point-source extraction on individual machines to complex, centralised systems with multi-point ductwork and high-efficiency dust filters.

By partnering with the world’s leading specialist filtration suppliers, our expert team ensures you get the right filter media for your application — along with the advice and support to guide you through every step of the process.

Why Dust Control Matters

Effective dust control is essential for maintaining a safe, compliant, and high-performing workplace. In industrial, production, and manufacturing environments, airborne dust can compromise air quality, equipment efficiency, and worker health. A well-managed dust control system not only reduces risk — it also promotes a cleaner, more professional working environment. Left unmanaged, dust can contribute to:

• Health risks such as respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term occupational diseases

• Fire and explosion hazards from combustible dust accumulation

• Equipment damage due to clogging, overheating, or increased wear

• Product contamination in sensitive environments like packaging manufacture

Dust Control Across All Industries

We’ve successfully installed centralised dust control systems across a wide spectrum of industries, including:

• Waste management sites
• Commercial print facilities
• Corrugated board manufacturers
• Hygiene, healthcare and pharmaceutical
• Packaging and conversion plants
• Foundries, textile mills, and many more

Engineered for Compliance and Peace of Mind

All our systems are designed and installed in full compliance with HSG258, COSHH 2002 regulations and Workplace Exposure Limits EH40. Our engineers are fully qualified to BOHS P601, P602, P603 and P604 standards and can help you meet your responsibilities under ATEX 2014/34/EU and NFPA guidelines—especially in cases where a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) is required.

Managing POPs in Furniture Shredding and Waste Processing

When recycling waste upholstered domestic seating and similar items, the shredding process can release Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) — toxic substances including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), often used as flame retardants in older furniture. These pollutants are harmful to human health and the environment and are tightly regulated under UK POPs legislation.

At Impact Air Systems, we specialise in designing air extraction and filtration solutions that capture and control POPs at the point of generation, particularly during high-risk processes like shredding. Our systems help recycling operators:

• Prevent POPs contamination of clean waste streams

• Reduce airborne risk to workers

• Stay compliant with UK Environment Agency guidance and disposal regulations

• Avoid cross-contamination and costly enforcement actions

Whether you need an integrated extraction system, containment solutions, or waste separation technology, we’ll work with you to ensure your site operates safely, efficiently, and within the law.
