Case studies in dust and fume control

Between us, the DUSTEX team has over 73 years (and counting) experience in providing dust and fume control solutions.

Here are just a few case studies in air quality management: some of these use our standard range of dust extraction systems.

But for many clients we’ve designed customised solutions in dust and fume control. Sometimes we’ve designed a complete, bespoke system – and other times we’ve created a component to fit in with existing equipment. Read more about our dust extraction design service.
