Dust Extraction Systems

MAE Dust Extraction Units

Engineered Solutions for dust problems

Custom made dust extraction systems tailored to your operation.

Choose a standard modular unit sized to your requirements or a one-off unit designed to suit a specific situation.

We can scale a system to handle any duty loading, and have it operate either under positive or negative pressure according to your needs.

Explore how we build an MAE Dust Extraction System below:

Start ‘upstream’ at the dust sources, and move through the drops and type of ducting used, downstream through system design, type of filter unit selected, fan characteristics and on tothe various elements beyond that.

See how we candesignasystem that meets the demands of a growing business, keeping running costs low and integrating it withyour operation with minimal fuss:

Targeted Capture Points – Collecting dust at source

Close-Proximity Hoods: Smartly positioned capture hoods, swing-arms or nozzles placed as close as possible to the dust generation point—whether it’s a saw blade, grinder, sander or other. This minimizes dispersion and ensures dust is entrained before it escapes into the workspace.

Tool / Machine Mounted Ports: No matter how many outlets there are or their location, we’ll service them with the right connections to keep them room-sealed and sized to function well.

Directional Flow Control: Designing the airflow to match the natural trajectory of dust (e.g., downward for sanding, outward for cutting) helps guide particles directly into the extraction zone.

NeatMachine Drops– Like a good referee, theirfunction is to perform well,unnoticed by the user

Ergonomic Drop Placement: Smart design considers how workers move and interact with equipment, so we place extraction points where they’re most effective and install suction pipes so they are at their least intrusive for best workplace integration.

Kill The Vibe: Machine connections are linked via short runs of polyurethane flexible hose to prevent machine vibrations affecting the sealed duct network.

Airflow On-Demand: We use MAE tight dampers so users can isolate drops where machinery isn’t in use, this redirects airflow capacity to dust-generating drops where suction is needed.

Keep Suction on Track: Some dust ports are trickier to provide suction to if they are in motion like on CNC cutting heads. But extended runsof flexible hose,often mounted on precision engineered rails for support enable a suction line to connect to a moving cutting head. The hoseand track offer suchmanoeuvrability without impeding movement, that no cutting head is a problem.
