Wet and Dry Downdraft Benches for Metal-Grinding
Downdraft Tables for Metal Dust and NFPA484 Compliance. Our HEPA Downdraft Tables draw contaminants away from your workers' vision and breathing zones.
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.
Most Wet Collectors lack proper HEPA Filtration. Most feature a bank of 3" thick MERV 13 cardboard frame furnace filters. Open up your wet collector and see for yourself. Those are not HEPA Filters. Our Wet Collectors and Wet Downdraft Benches have a steel HEPA box. Even the HEPA Filter itself is in a metal housing. If you are tired of seeing aluminum dust exhausting from your wet collector; it is because it doesn't have a proper HEPA. The top-mount HEPA filters your dust down to .3 micron @99.97% efficiency. HEPA Filters have been problematic in the past. When everything dries out, dried aluminum dust remains in the filter which can be hazardous.
On our Wet Dust Collectors and Wet Downdraft Tables we offer HEPA Filtration with NFPA 484 compliant heat sensors for safety and proper compliance. Call us today to learn more!
