Manual metalworking processes generate fine dust, fumes and sparks that can spread throughout the shop floor. Conventional exhaust systems may not capture these contaminants effectively at the point of generation.
The Valgro Downdraft Table combines a durable working surface with integrated suction. Contaminated air is pulled downward through the table, helping reduce operator exposure, prevent dust migration and improve general workplace cleanliness.
The table can be customised according to the component size, process, dust type and required extraction capacity.
