Auto-Pulsing Extractor
Power Source: Single or Three-Phase.
Primary Application: Applications generating high volumes of fine dust (e.g., concrete, drywall).
Key Feature: Automatic filter cleaning system maintains constant airflow and suction.
Wet and Dry Extractor
Power Source: Single or Three-Phase.
Primary Application: Versatile clean-up of both fine dry dust and liquid spills/slurry.
Key Feature: Multi-functional, eliminating the need for separate equipment.
Bersi Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd.’s HEPA Dust Extractor Categories
Bersi specializes in providing patented, durable filtration systems engineered for professional industrial use. Our product line is designed to cover the full spectrum of high-demand cleaning applications:
Single-Phase HEPA Dust Extractor (e.g., TS1000, TS2000)
Advantage: Portability and Versatility. These units are easy to transport and plug into standard power sources, making them essential for mobile contractors and smaller workshops.
Application: Ideal for use with smaller concrete grinders, scarifiers, and construction clean-up where continuous, high-efficiency filtration is required.
Three-Phase Industrial Vacuum
Advantage: Continuous Power and High Airflow (CFM). These heavy-duty units are built with turbine motors for non-stop, intense operation without overheating.
Application: Perfect for coupling with large, high-production concrete polishing machines in industrial factories or large-scale flooring projects.
Auto-Pulsing HEPA Dust Extractor (e.g., 3010T/3020T, AC800)
Advantage: Sustained Suction. The automatic jet-pulsing system cleans the filters as you work, preventing dust buildup and maintaining maximum suction power, which is critical for collecting fine silica dust.
Application: Essential for high-production work, such as dry concrete cutting and grinding, where traditional filters clog quickly.
Wet and Dry Industrial Vacuum
Advantage: Multi-Function Cleaning. Our wet and dry models offer the flexibility to switch from collecting hazardous dry dust to safely removing liquid slurry and spills.
Application: Facility maintenance, automotive repair, and environments requiring versatile clean-up of both solid and liquid waste.
The Advantage of HEPA Dust Extractors
General Product Advantage
HEPA Dust Extractors are crucial for modern industrial environments because they prioritize safety. They are engineered specifically to handle hazardous fine dust (like respirable crystalline silica), which standard shop vacuums cannot safely contain. Using a certified HEPA system significantly lowers the risk of respiratory illness among workers.
Advantage of Certified HEPA Filtration
A true HEPA filter must capture 99.97% of airborne particles measuring 0.3 microns in diameter. This level of filtration is legally required for many industrial applications and ensures the exhaust air returned to the environment is clean, preventing dust from settling back into the workspace.
Bersi Product Advantage
Bersi’s systems are designed with innovative, patented technology that focuses on durability and efficiency. Our Auto-Pulsing feature not only cleans the filter but also extends its lifespan and reduces the labor required for maintenance, giving you maximum uptime on the job.
HEPA Dust Extractor Material Grades
Core Components of a Dust Extractor
A modern industrial dust extractor is built around several core components that determine its performance grade:
Motor System: Single-phase AMETEK motors or heavy-duty Three-phase turbine motors.
Pre-Filter/Main Filter: Usually a large pleated polyester filter that captures the bulk of the dust.
HEPA Filter: The final stage filter, certified to H13 or H14 standards, positioned to ensure only clean air exits.
Chassis and Collection System: Heavy-gauge steel construction designed for industrial environments, often featuring a ‘Longopac’ bagging system or gravity collection.
Industry Filtration Grades and Comparison
HEPA filters are subject to the European Standard EN 1822. For industrial use, the key grades are:
H13 Grade:
Filtration Efficiency (at MPPS*): ≥ 99.95%
Typical Application: Standard for silica and most hazardous dust in construction.
H14 Grade:
Filtration Efficiency (at MPPS*): ≥99.995%
Typical Application: Used for highly critical environments like pharmaceuticals and cleanrooms.
L-Class Grade:
Max Permissible Dust Pass: ≤1.0%
Typical Application: Used for soft materials and non-hazardous dust (Lowest safety).
M-Class Grade:
Max Permissible Dust Pass: ≤le 0.1%
Typical Application: Used for wood dust, concrete, and non-hazardous materials (Medium safety).
*MPPS: Most Penetrating Particle Size (usually around 0.1 to 0.3 microns)
Bersi products are primarily equipped with H13 filters to meet or exceed industry safety mandates for construction and general industrial applications.
HEPA Dust Extractor Applications
Construction and Floor Preparation
The most common application is coupling the extractor with tools like concrete grinders, shot blasters, and scarifiers. Bersi’s TS2000 Twin Motors Extractor is widely used in this area, ensuring full compliance with standards (like OSHA in the US) regarding respirable crystalline silica exposure. This setup is crucial for safe floor refinishing and painting prep.
Metalworking and Manufacturing
In factories producing metal parts or performing welding, fine metal dust and fumes are a concern. Three-phase units like Bersi’s AC800 Auto Pulsing Extractor provide the continuous, high-volume suction needed to manage dust from large CNC machines and plasma cutters. Our systems are used in client facilities where maintaining clean machinery is vital for product quality.
Specialized Remediation and Restoration
Wet and dry extractors are indispensable for water damage restoration or mold remediation. The versatility of the machine allows crews to first remove contaminated water/slurry and then safely vacuum fine mold spores and debris, all while maintaining HEPA-level air quality.
Conclusion
Selecting the right HEPA Dust Extractor is essential for protecting your workforce, avoiding penalties, and maintaining operational efficiency. Whether you require the mobility of a single-phase unit or the relentless power of a three-phase system, understanding the differences in technology and filtration grades is your first step to making a smart investment.
