New Dust Collection Bags from General Equipment Company Help Meet Dust Compliance

General Equipment Company has introduced its DB Series of Dust Collection Bags, which attach to confined space ventilation blowers for extracting airborne dust created by drilling, sawing, sanding, chopping or other jobsite activities. The bags also help operators meet compliance with OSHA 29CFR 1926.1153 regarding exposure to respirable crystalline silica in construction work.

The DB Series is available in three sizes for use with 8-, 12- and 16-inch (203, 305 and 406 mm) nominal blowers. The non-woven polyester bag material provides 85-percent filtration efficiency for controlling silica dust and other non-combustible dusts or particulate-type materials. The bags meet Efficiency Particulate Filter class E10, as well as the European filtration standard EN1822:2009.
