Husqvarna dust extractors, slurry vacuums, air scrubbers and pre-separators

Dust and slurry are created by cutting, drilling, grinding and demolishing concrete, brick and other hard construction materials. Dust and slurry contain hazardous materials and need to be removed in a safe and efficient way to protect you and your team from unhealthy dust exposure. In addition, keeping dust and slurry contained also reduces unnecessary wear and tear on equipment as well as minimizes the time needed to clean up after a job is finished.
Husqvarna is here to help. Our mission is to continually develop solutions to suppress dust and keep you and surrounding areas safer, all while maintaining or increasing productivity. We offer knowledge and guidance along with innovative equipment to work with you toward compliance of rules and regulations. Whether wet or dry jobs, we’ll make your workday easier – from start to finish.

Recommended work methods for safe and efficient dust control

One of the best ways to control dust is by using water. If possible, use enough water while wet cutting/drilling to bind the dust with water directly at the source. A slurry collector can be attached to a slurry vac to keep the workplace clean. If using water is not an option on the site, the cutting/ drilling/grinding equipment should be used with an integrated dust collection device or tight-fitting dust shroud that captures dust directly at the source. This device should be connected to a dust extractor with the appropriate airflow and capacity for the application and also equipped with HEPA filters.
When cleaning the work area, use a scraper instead of a broom to sweep the floor. Always use a dust extractor equipped with HEPA filters when vacuum-cleaning. NOTE: Standard/household vacuum cleaners are not capable of catching respirable dust particles and should not be used for this purpose. As a complement, using one or more portable air cleaners/scrubbers, equipped with efficient HEPA filters, is an easy way to further reduce the level of respirable dust in the air, providing additional protection for all workers in the surrounding areas.

Handling the smallest dust particles is the biggest challenge

Dust particles hovering in the air at construction sites contain a number of different substances. Some of them can be harmful or irritating if inhaled, such as asbestos fibres, crystalline silica, mold,, soot, PCB and certain microbes. Dust from cutting, drilling or grinding concrete, brick and similar building materials contain crystalline silica, which is hazardous when very small (respirable) particles are inhaled. These respirable dust particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause disabling and sometimes fatal lung diseases.
These respirable dust particles are so small that they can hover in the air for hours, invisible to the naked eye. This is why it’s essential to always use work methods that catch dust at the source and prevent it from becoming airborne. Using high-quality professional dust control equipment, along with personal protective equipment that is efficient enough to catch even the smallest silica particles are some of the best ways to handle dust.

What is table 1?

Table 1 matches common construction tasks like concrete cutting, drilling, and grinding with recommended dust control methods, therefore employers know exactly what they need to do to limit worker exposure to silica. Per OSHA’s Fact Sheet, employers who follow Table 1 correctly are not required to measure workers’ exposure to silica and are not subject to the PEL.

WHAT EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH TABLE 1?

  • For wet applications, Table 1 typically specifies equipment with an integrated water delivery system for continuous water feed to the cutting tool. Example: The DEX system on a Husqvarna K 760 handheld power cutter connected to a Husqvarna WT 15 battery-powered water tank.
  • For dry applications, Table 1 typically specifies equipment with commercially available shroud, cowling or integrated dust collection system connected to a dust collector providing the air flow recommended by the tool manufacturer, or greater, having a filter with 99% or greater efficiency and a filter-cleaning mechanism. Example: A Husqvarna DM 220 handheld core drill connected to a Husqvarna S 26 HEPA dust extractor.
  • In some operations, respirators may also be needed.

ALL CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYERS COVERED BY THE STANDARD ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO:

  • Establish and implement a written exposure control plan, which identifies tasks that involve exposure and methods used to protect workers, including procedures to restrict access to work areas where high exposures may occur.
  • Designate a competent person to implement the written exposure control plan.
  • Restrict housekeeping practices that expose workers to silica where feasible alternatives are available.
  • Offer medical exams – including chest X-rays and lung function tests – every three years for workers who are required by the standard to wear a respirator for 30 or more days per year.
  • Train workers on work operations that result in silica exposure and ways to limit exposure.
  • Keep records of workers’ silica exposure and medical exams.

Husqvarna T-line

3-phase hepa dust extractors for heavy-duty jobs

The Husqvarna T-line is developed for large-scale projects that demand substantial dust extraction. The machines can deal with materials that are difficult to handle, such as grinding dust and demolition materials in a wide variety of applications. The powerful motors deliver airflow efficiently for all types of floor grinding machines as well as for local or central vacuum systems in construction work.
The heavy-duty filter system collects the dust in three separate stages, from the heaviest to the finest dust particles, providing a large collecting capacity and a long filter life. Individually tested and certified HEPA filters required for respirable silica dust are fitted as standard. The Longopac® bag hose system ensures simple and safe dust bag changes.

Husqvarna W-line

High performance slurry vacuums

The Husqvarna W-Line of slurry vacs are designed for the toughest jobs a slurry vacuum cleaner can handle. Where most wet/combi vacs can only handle water, W-line can manage liquids such as concrete slurry, oils and machining coolants. The renowned quality, durability, efficiency and long, trouble-free service life has earned the W-Line the status of a modern classic.
By using high quality stainless steel components, a unique combination of 3-stage filter system and a large-volume slurry float together with well-considered pump solutions, the W-line delivers uninterrupted, high capacity slurry evacuation all day long. W-Line can also handle occasional collecting of dry dust and can be equipped with an optional HEPA filter.

Husqvarna S-line

Single-phase hepa dust extractors

The Husqvarna S-line consists of professional dust extractors designed to meet strict demands. These compact, lightweight machines are equipped with one, two or three powerful single-phase electric motors with separate cooling, capable of running continuously all workday. This makes them suitable for all construction, abatement and restoration jobs, as well as electric power tools.
The Jet Pulse cleaning of the conical main filter ensures that the dust is continuously collected throughout a full work day. the Longopac® collecting bag enables the machine to be emptied quickly and simply. All of the machines have been designed specifically for HEPA filters which are individually tested and certified. This results in superior and safe dust collection, even on fine sanding and gypsum dust.
