Implement Sanding and Finishing Dust Collection Equipment in Your Facility
Whether you’re sanding wood, metal, plastic, or something else, dust is a pesky byproduct that can negatively impact your health, work environment, and even equipment. Sinkable dust is best collected using a wet dust collector that captures particles before they can get to your employees or equipment and cause problems.
Incorporate dust collection equipment in your facility today, or upgrade your systems, to promote facility safety and better product outcomes.
Why Dust Collection Is Vital
Implementing proper dust collection in your facility when sanding and finishing can keep your staff, products, and equipment safe.
If you allow dust to accumulate on your equipment, you put your products at risk for defects. This is because you might end up sanding dust particles onto the surface, rather than sanding the work surface itself. If dust is left on the surface when applying staining or other coverings, the defects will be visible in the finished product. This can lead to highly time-consuming fixes and can compromise the quality of your finished product.
Additionally, exposure to fine dust particles is often harmful to humans and equipment. Small particles can cause lung and eye irritation in the short term, and can result in more chronic issues in the long term. As for equipment, dust particles can lead to damage, creating short circuits, increasing wear and tear, and even causing premature failure.
Overall, implementing proper dust collection when sanding and finishing can really improve the quality of your products and promote safety throughout your facility.

Our Selection of Wet Dust Collector Systems
AT Industrial Products provides a variety of wet dust collectors helpful for sanding and finishing dust collection. Choose from the following systems:
Our wet dust collection systems feature custom table sizes, an OSHA/NFPA-compliant electrical panel, pneumatic and electric power outlets, a wheel grinding fixture, removeable deflector walls, and beyond. Additionally, all of our machines are tested and run before they leave our shop to ensure that CFM production is correct and that water doesn’t migrate out of the machine. This is essential because correct water levels ensure that dust collectors don’t weep, seep, or leak.
When choosing your wet dust collection system for grinding and finishing applications, be sure to consider the following:
- Dust characteristics – To properly collect dust particles from sanding and finishing, identify the dust type, density, size, toxicity, and moisture content.
- Your facility – Knowing the size of the area being ventilated can help you select the right wet dust collector for combustible dust, as well as determine the airflow needed to efficiently remove particles from the source.
- Level of air quality and dust recovery required – OHSA and other organizations have set standards for dust collection. If you need to comply with these or other industry regulations, choose a wet dust collector that has a higher air-to-cloth ratio.
