Compact HEPA Downdraft Table
Food and pharmaceutical production
This compact, highly portable industrial downdraft table provides high-velocity source capture for dry dust, smoke, and process fumes. Available in 1.5 HP single-phase (115V) or 460V 3-phase configurations, the system is specifically designed for integration into tight shop layouts.
Because the internal "dirty-air" plenum volume is strictly under 8 cubic feet, the unit streamlines regulatory compliance. It is inherently adapted for safe indoor extraction of NFPA St 1 combustible dusts, provided application-specific safety mitigation features (such as spark arrestors or explosion-proof components) are integrated
Optional Class I GP D; CLII GP F,G Motor and NEMA 7/9 Starter
The PDC-XP2000 Downdraft Table is a high-performance dust, fume, and smoke extraction solution designed for industrial and workshop environments. Proudly made in the USA, PDC Portable Downdraft Benches provide an effective and economical method for controlling airborne contaminants generated during sanding, grinding, polishing, and other dry-processing applications.
Ideal for light to moderate concentrations of dry contaminants, the system draws particulate, fumes, vapors, and smoke downward and away from the operator’s breathing zone, helping create a cleaner and safer work environment.
Key Features
HEPA filtration for high-efficiency particle capture
AUTO-Pulse filter cleaning system for continuous-duty operation
Effective control of dust, smoke, fumes, and vapors
Designed for sanding, grinding, polishing, and similar processes
Made in the USA
Easy-to-order replacement filters and spare parts
Improves operator comfort and workplace air quality
The PDC-XP2000 combines reliable performance, low maintenance requirements, and efficient contaminant capture for demanding industrial applications.
XP Package Electrical Components are for:
Division 1, Class I, Group D and Class II, Groups F, and G, T3C.
Division 1, Class II Group E (metal dust) motor and switch available.
Division 2, Class I Group D and Class II, Groups F and G, T3C.
Elimination of Hexavalent Chromium from Stainless Dust
Highly efficient cartridge filters trap particulate down to .5 microns, while pulse-jet compressed air blasts keep filters clear and operating at optimum efficiency. The HEPA after-filter is efficient to .3 micron @99.97%.
74 dBA noise level at 2 meters.
Stainless can off-gas a carcinogenic dust in the form of hexavalent chromium
Stainless can off-gas a carcinogenic dust in the form of hexavalent chromium. The compact Downdraft and Backdraft feature a 24" x 24" x 12" HEPA filter, and a primary filtering cartridge of up to 295 sq ft of filter surface area.

There is an Optional Carbon Cell for VOC
There is an optional carbon cell for VOC. It is a 24" x 24" x 12" stack that bolts on to the exhaust. It can take a pair of 28 lb cells containing a range of 4mm absorption medias, from activated carbon, the Alhhasorb8, and others.
Hinged side panels and adjustable slots are standard. The Backdraft Hood is 36" Wide.
Enclosed Hood for Better Source-Capture
Enclosed Hood for better Source-Capture is very important if you have a lot of cross airflow from fans or other equipment. This enclosure means you can capture more particulate by creating a dedicated capture zone. The sides are hinged for easy access when working on larger pieces.

These Downdraft and Backdraft Collectors are on Locking Casters
These Downdraft and Backdraft collectors are on locking casters. These casters are made with conductive resins allowing an additional path to ground. The wheels are also the locking variety allowing full range of motion through the workplace.
