Dust analysis as part of the extraction solution<\/h1>\n \n

Is the dust coarse, fine, sticky, wet or even harmful to health? A dust analysis provides clarity and is used by L+M AG to design the right extraction and filter system for industrial dust extraction technology. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

WHY A DUST ANALYSIS?<\/h2>\n\n

L+M AG develops and manufactures extraction and filtration systems worldwide that are based on meticulous dust analyses that occur in a production process. Dust analyses provide information about the nature, composition, properties and size of dust particles and their effects on a product, the air quality in the working environment, its employees and the environment. <\/p>\n

The basis of a professional design of every extraction and filter system begins with a professional dust analysis based on a dust sample taken at the point of origin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n \n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

VARIOUS TYPES OF DUST<\/h2>\n\n

As different as dusts are, so different are their properties. Dusts can be coarse, fine, dry, wet, sticky, statically charged or even toxic and have a significant impact on our health. <\/p>\n

Dust from metals and their compounds and alloys such as chromium or aluminum in particular has been proven to be harmful to health.<\/p>\n\n \n \n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

FINE DUST PARTICLE SIZES<\/h2>\n\n

In addition to the chemical composition, the particle size is particularly important for the health-related assessment of particulate matter. The particle size is decisive for whether a dust particle can be inhaled and where it is deposited in the respiratory tract. <\/p>\n

These dusts are divided into the following categories according to particle diameter:<\/strong><\/p>\n
