If the dust problem is severe then a partial Mini-Hood or a complete Full-Hood is required.
All Maxi-Cap Dust Hoods feature a built-in feeder for proper feed regulations and a built-in blast gate so that the exhaust air can be adjusted for optimum operation.
For easier operation they are constructed with large windows of strong LEXAN polycarbonate, and an explosion proof Class ll, group G light Fixture so that you can see the product you are separating.
Mini-Hoods cover approximately 40-50% of the deck area. These are designed to remove the dust and fines from the areas around the feeder and along the light side of to deck. This is where most of the dust is concentrated. Mini-hoods will typically remove over 90% of the dust generated by the separating process.
Full-Hoods provide the most complete from of dust control. These hoods cover the entire deck surface and exhaust 100% of the air used for separation.
We recommend Full-Hoods for all severe dust problems, or where the dust and fines material constitute a safety hazard.
