Did you know that poor dust control in production costs companies millions annually through production downtime and maintenance?

✅ The good news: With the right measures, this can be avoided while improving health, safety and efficiency.

Anyone who has worked in a factory with machines that rattle, spark and emit fine particulate matter knows that it’s not just about a little “dirt” in the air; it’s a real risk to health, safety and processes.

Whether it’s during the recycling of materials or the cutting and grinding of metal, wood or stone – particles are created everywhere that directly affect employee health and can even cause long-term damage to machinery.

👉 The reality: Dust is often not noticed until it’s already too late. Respiratory illnesses, increased maintenance costs or, in the worst case, dust explosions are not uncommon.

The good news? Even small steps make a difference: Extraction technology directly at the source, regular cleaning, targeted humidification to bind dust and simple personal protective equipment (respiratory masks, etc.) make a huge difference.

Humidification in particular is often underestimated, but it ensures that dust particles are captured and not floating in the air in the first place. Becoming aware of the problem and taking appropriate advance measures not only improves workplace health, but also efficiency.
