Downdraft Table SD23 Case Study

By Downdraft Table, SD23

Superior Air Model SD23 Dry Cartridge Style Downdraft Table

Application:  Grinding and Debur of Composite rubber coating on electric motors

Superior Air Products received a call from a potential customer inquiring about our self-cleaning, high efficiency downdraft tables for a dry dust.  The end user was currently using a competitor’s downdraft table (Grizzly brand) that was geared more towards woodworking and home use than heavy industrial use.  The client was happy with the suction on the table, however the competitors unit was not stopping the dust in the filters and instead dust was being blown through the filters and back all over their shop.

While the application of deburring and grinding on encapsulated motor windings involved a tremendous amount of fine dust, we explained that some tables are not meant for use in high production and very fine dust loading, but that our tables would work very well because of our design and the use of nanofiber self cleaning cartridge filters.  The nanofiber is the highest efficiency self-cleaning filter available on the market at MERV 15 or 99.97% efficient down to 0.3 microns.  If you are not familiar with microns, smoke is normally in the 0.3-0.8 micron range.  Any sort of dust will typically be above 1 micron, so when we use these filters, we are nearing 100% efficiency.

The customer was excited to see the unit perform with his exact parts, so samples were sent in and can be seen on the attached video.  You will see that we are capturing all the dust with no dust emissions on the exhaust.  As with every Superior Brand product, we offered the customer a money back guarantee and they are now a very happy Superior Air Products customer. You too can take advantage of the impressive performance and cost saving downdraft tables from Superior Downdraft by contacting us today!

How the Downdraft Table Operates

Superior utilizes a direct drive high capacity blower wheel to produce 300 feet per minute of downdraft velocity (much higher than required by OSHA).  All dust is drawn down into the unit through a fiberglass grate, through a series of spark baffles and finally into the fire retardant nanofiber filters.  During operation, the self cleaning filters use compressed air to dump the dust captured into an easily removable dust drawer that should be emptied daily.  Typically the filter in this unit is replaced annually on a one-shift operation.  List price on this particular filter is $105, so the annual cost of operation is only $105 plus the cost of electricity to power the ¾ HP motor blower, resulting in an extremely low cost of ownership.

Sourcing the Best Downdraft Table for Industry

Sourcing the Best Downdraft Table for Industry

Today more than ever before quality of air has become a major issue and that’s why air filtration systems are so inherently important. For example, downdraft tables are required for a wide range of industrial processes. Typically speaking, fully self-contained downdraft type tables are easy and efficient to use. In other words, they are basically plug and go by design. In many cases this type of table is fully prewired on delivery from the factory including integral LED lighting. With high-capacity downdraft suction, these tables deliver the results that industry expects.

In Search of a Highly Efficient System

In essence, dirty air passes through a cartridge that is essentially nanofiber and fire-retardant resulting in the highly efficient cleaning of air. The air is moved away from the workstation allowing for work to progress without interruption. In addition, most of today’s modern downdraft tables will include a spark arrestor where the application calls for this type of accessory. Those in search of a highly efficient system that combines air filtration with a workbench in one compact unit need look no further than today’s modern technologically advanced downdraft tables.

Extracting These Harmful Particles Downward and Away

Downdraft benches and tables can easily be customized to a company’s specific needs. Regardless of the job at hand, there is a solution to fit your needs. With industrial particulates, dust and fumes becoming a serious concern in terms of the hazards that they present to the respiratory system as well as the eyes, having the right type of table with downdraft functionality is absolutely essential. Extracting these harmful particles downward and away from workers and properly filtering that air is always the goal. Contact Superior Air Products today for more information on this and other similar types of products.

Industrial Mist Collection Systems for Better Work Conditions

In general, in industry mist collection systems play a vital role in helping to improve work conditions in a wide range of environments. Regardless of the industry in question, one thing is sure and that is that mist collectors are an essential part of safe and reliable workspaces. Best of all, today’s modern and innovative systems that are designed to collect mist can easily be ducted to a multitude of machining centers. The modern systems used today are highly efficient and are especially useful in areas where mounted systems will not work.

Oil Mist Bag Filters as Well as HEPA Filters

With incredibly high levels of efficiency and fully customizable functionality, mist collection that is done right is always apparent and obvious. Many of these systems make use of oil mist bag filters as well as HEPA filters and even modules that are intended to manage odor effectively. Other units are conveniently designed to fit directly on top of a CNC machine. This allows oil that is collected to drain back into the cabinet saving space and improving efficiency. Whether these systems are mounted with a stand or mounted to the ceiling, either way the results are impressive.
