Food & Agriculture Dust Extraction

The food and agriculture industry produces a massive amount of dust and fumes. Without proper fume and dust extraction systems, these can lead to a number of occupational diseases, especially respiratory disorders.

Extraction solutions for the food and agriculture industry require different standards since it is for human consumption. However, we also need to be aware of the dangers of dry dust.

Organic dust from flour, sugar, coffee, and other items is classified as combustible dust. At Vodex, we always consider the additional threat these combustible dust types can bring. This is why we have a specialist range of dry dust extractors fitted with additional safety features. These include explosion relief panels, special fans, and more.

Our fume and dust extraction systems for food and agriculture are designed to to remove the risk of breathing in these particles while also controlling the danger of combustion.

Farm safety is vitally important in the agriculture industry, but isn’t the only phase of the process where dust and fume extraction technology is necessary to protect employees.
