Ambient Dust Collection Gets Easier

Ambient air filtration just got a little easier. The new Vista360 from RoboVent (Sterling Heights, MI) combines the power and effectiveness of a traditional push-pull dust collection system with the easy and flexibility of a stand-alone dust collector. This ductless, ceiling-mounted dust collector uses multiple collectors to create circular air patterns in the facility that continually pull contaminated air into the filtration unit and push clean, filtered air back into the shop, very much like traditional ducted push-pull systems. But since it does not require a ductwork system, it is easier to install, reconfigure and maintain. It’s the perfect ambient solution to capture fumes and dust from manual welding, metalworking and other industrial applications.

“This is the next logical step in ambient dust control,” explains Jim Reid, the general manager of RoboVent. “We wanted to build on the success of our popular Vortex stand-alone dust collectors, with an option that preserved precious floor space for our manufacturing customers. Vista360 gives them the best of both worlds.” This system offers great benefits for manufacturing facilities:

• Easy installation: Vista360 is faster and easier to install than traditional ducted push-pull systems for displacement ventilation or ambient filtration. And since there is no ductwork to install, it’s less intrusive and won’t interfere with overhead cranes or production equipment.
• Cost savings: Eliminating ductwork saves money up front and energy later on. The system saves 10 percent to 20 percent on initial installation and reduces energy use by 10 percent to 15 percent compared to traditional ducted push-pull systems.
• Floor space savings: With Vista360, dust collectors are overhead and out of the way, where they won’t impact floor space.
• Very low maintenance: Everything is easily accessible for fast filter changes and maintenance, no special tools required. The single-filter design makes filter change out fast and easy. And the proprietary eTell system makes maintenance headache-free.
• Flexibility: Whenever you need to change your floor configuration, Vista360 is easy to move right along with your production equipment, without rerouting any ductwork.

RoboVent also offers a new larger version of their popular CrossFlow Table, an all-in-one welding bench and source capture system that provides ample room for a variety of manual welding applications while keeping dangerous weld fumes out of the breathing zone. The new CrossFlow Table features a larger work surface and some new workspace elements designed to meet the needs of weld school students and instructors. In addition to the original 4 ft wide model, this new 5 ft wide model includes the following features at an economical price:

• More Working Space: Now 5 ft wide to give welders in training the space they need to learn the art of welding. The new table also includes a space under the table for the welding machine for a more workable weld lab layout.
• Pack and Play: Ships fully assembled for easy installation. Units are simply placed on the training floor with electrical and compressed air connections and are then ready for use.

More Available Workspace Features: The new CrossFlow Table includes added features such as LED lighting and a built-in electrical plug for power tools to make the working space easier to use.

For the education sector, this newly designed weld booth is an ideal system to maintain a user-friendly learning environment. “Although our old design was a great product, it didn’t have some of the key features that instructors were looking for, such as increased width and space under the table for the welder to fit. This new design is really the answer,” stated Clayton Hughes, a solution specialist at RoboVent. The CrossFlow Table also includes some other leading features, such as Dynamic Pulse™ filter cleaning system, SafeSensor™ particulate monitoring for fire safety, and vertical cartridge design to extend filter life.
