????? How to Maintain an Extraction System ?????

Keeping your extraction system running optimally is crucial for workplace safety, legal compliance, and cost efficiency. Here’s how you can do it!

Why Maintain Your Extraction System? Your extraction system, whether it’s for smoke, fumes, or dust, needs regular care to handle daily wear and tear. Proper maintenance:

• Ensures effective removal of airborne contaminants.
• Keeps employees safe and healthy.
• Extends equipment lifespan.
• Reduces long-term repair and replacement costs.
• Lowers running costs by maintaining efficiency.

Maintenance Steps:

1. Regular Inspections: At the start of each workday, check for visible damage or dust accumulation, ensure sufficient suction and air velocity, and inspect the exhaust area for dust, indicating potential filter issues.

2. Housekeeping: Keep the system clean and free from excessive dust buildup and clean or replace filter media regularly to maintain system safety and efficiency.

3. Basic Servicing: Follow manufacturer guidelines for periodic servicing, open inspection hatches to remove buildup in ducting, and replace filters as needed – avoid using duct tape for permanent repairs!

4. Professional Servicing and Repair: Annual professional servicing includes thorough inspections, air velocity checks, motor and fan assessments, and filter checks. ?Professionals will provide a detailed report and advice on future maintenance needs.
