Install a Dust Collector - Make Money!

Holding a Grudge

For many businesses and organizations, the purchase and installation of an industrial dust collector can be termed a "grudge" purchase.  The fact is, most facilities only purchase a dust collection system because they feel they must, either to keep their employees safe and comfortable, or to comply with government regulations.

Those are admirable goals, and such organizations are to be commended for complying with applicable laws and for being concerned with the welfare of their employees.  But what if it was possible to meet those goals, and at the same time, make more money?  Well, good news.  It is possible!  Consider just one way:

Production of More Product

The EPA or similar governmental organizations may limit the amount of emissions that a facility or process can expel to the outside environment.  If emissions are too high, production may have to be curtailed in order to comply with these government regulations.  This is a possibility when collecting dust and fumes in a mining application.  But, by using a well-engineered dust collection system, overall emissions are reduced and can allow for more production of your product, resulting in greater overall profit.

Mining processes can be good candidates for greater production scheduling due to reduced emissions.

That's just one way that money can be made with a dust collection system, but there are others, such as product recovery.  So when considering a dust or fume collection system, do your research, comply with government regulations, keep everyone safe and comfortable, and make some money.  It's a win-win-win!
