Downdraft Benches for industrial processes
Downdraft Tables for Metal Dust and NFPA484 Compliance.
APB Series Downdraft Tables
All APB Downdraft Benches are designed to “source-capture” dust, smoke, fume, and gas/vapor contaminants. Compliant with OSHA and OSHA regulations, each APB Downdraft Bench can be custom designed to fit each user’s unique application needs. Typically used for moderate to heavy concentrations of dry dusts and contaminants, the APB Series can be used for grinding, polishing and dry-buffing applications.
The APB Benches also come with a manual pulse-jet cleaning system with options for auto-pulse and timed-pulse filter cleaning systems. Filter options include washable poly-spunbond cartridges, Nano FR, and 80/20 cellulose.
The APB Downdraft Benches come with steel grates as a standard feature. Non-marking top mats made from rubber or polypropylene are also available upon request. The APB line of heavy-duty Downdraft Benches are used for all kinds of heavy industrial grinding and sanding applications.

Certified HEPA Filtration with NFPA 484 compliant heat sensor.
Putting HEPA Filtration in wet dust collectors in the past has been challenging because the aluminum fines would dry out in the filters after the machine was turned off. Over time the accumulation of aluminum dust became a fire hazard. A lot of manufacturers stopped offering HEPA filtration as a result.
A safe solution for this is to install heat and fire sensors on the HEPA filter itself.
