Analysis of design and purchase decision of central dust collection system

Abstract

This paper presents a better solution for wood dust collection and consumer understanding for the purchase decision making of the central dust collection system in case of Bangladeshi Furniture Industries. Dust collection system is an integral part of furniture industries where quality products, proper safety, operations and maintenance are sought. An efficient woodworking dust collection system is a priority for furniture industries to maintain their business. The greatest source of problems with dust collection systems is improperly designed ducting and hood arrangements. In order to make an educated decision in purchasing dust collector a clear understanding of all the parameters involved is necessary. This paper illustrates an improved design of central dust collection system for woodworking taking into account appropriate control of dust suction systems, moisture, air speed, duct and hood design, installation etc. The proper equipment and design may cost a bit more initially but the cost of fire, explosion, the resulting down time and escalating insurance costs make it a sound investment.
