Description
Suction Hoods
Suction Hoods provide a dedicated capture point for dust and airborne contaminants as part of an industrial extraction or process ventilation system.
Positioned close to the source of contamination, the hood captures dust-laden air and directs it into the connected ductwork for transport through the extraction system.
They can be incorporated into new or existing systems and configured with multiple connections to suit different equipment, processes and ducting layouts.
Capture Dust at the Source
Effective dust extraction relies on capturing contaminants as close as practical to where they are generated.
A suction hood creates a defined capture area around a dust-generating process, helping direct contaminated air into the extraction ductwork before it disperses into the surrounding work area.
The design and positioning of the hood are important considerations. The appropriate configuration will depend on factors including the process, type of contaminant, required airflow, duct diameter and location of the extraction point.
Designed for Industrial Extraction Systems
Suction hoods can be incorporated into dust collection and process ventilation systems across a range of industrial environments.
Multiple connection configurations allow the hood to be adapted to suit different extraction layouts and applications. Round or rectangular connections can also be specified depending on the requirements of the installation.
Available configurations should be selected as part of the overall extraction system design to ensure the hood, ductwork and extraction equipment work together effectively.
Part of a Complete Modular Ducting System
Airtight Solutions supplies a comprehensive range of modular ducting and components for industrial dust extraction, fume extraction and process ventilation.
Our range includes straight duct, bends, branches, reducers, dampers, flexible ducting, extraction hoods and other fittings required to connect the capture point to the wider extraction system.
Whether you need an individual suction hood or assistance with a complete extraction system, Airtight Solutions can help with system design, equipment supply, ducting and installation.
Applications
Suction hoods are suitable for industrial applications where dust and airborne contaminants need to be captured close to their source.
Common applications include:
- Dust extraction systems
- Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems
- Process ventilation
- Woodworking and joinery
- Manufacturing and production processes
- Cutting, sanding and grinding applications
- Powder and bulk material handling
- Transfer and processing points
- Machinery and equipment extraction
- Custom extraction systems
