Dust/fume extraction

[chunkolini]

My workshop is 22x28ft, with a 3m ceiling (I know I know mixing imperial and metric measurements).

Anyway, I am after a way of ventilating it. Would one of these be up to the job?http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cam300-portable-ventilator.

I use the main part of the shop for metal working so it is weld fume, dust, hot air and general nasties I am dealing with. I figure mount it up near the roof, and maybe have a trailing hose over the workstation.

I also have a smaller space that I keep for woodworking, and it would be great to have a portable unit that I can pop in there when I am sanding and pump the fine dust out of the wall into the bushes.

Cutting holes in my walls is no problem., though I will check with the landlord.

Any information gratefully recieved.

a 9inch portable fan should realy do the trick with the suction hose .a n axial plate fan in the roof wouldnt go amis niether take all the hot air out . they turn up second hand for not a lot of money sumtimes if u put the feelers out

 

[chunkolini]

Axial plate? do you mean something to bolt it onto too?

those units are very good chunko... we use similar stuff when cutting with stihl saws inside & the amount of stuff they remove is unbelivable.

no good in winter tho.... they take all the heat too

Mike, which ones do you mean?the one in the link or the axial one? I cant really afford both.

Cheers, Chunko'.

You need a low speed high volume unit. If you use smaller fans you create more noise than with a big fan at lower rpms. Look out for an old air system out of a building. You know the types fan is usually about 2' in diameter.
