Stone Fabrication
The standard for this industry is the open faced 6 or 8 cartridge Schubert Self Cleaning Cartridge Unit – ReplaceAIR™.
This Ultra High Efficiency Unit at 99.97% efficiency on respirable fraction crystalline silica and other stone dusts is the system that all others try to copy.
When used (as recommended) in a “Dry Room” design for maximum confinement of the dusts and maximum controllable air patterns, this unit will meet all OSHA standards. The operators have to work facing the unit and not behind each other, but this easy layout is very workable.
The Silica based stones represent the very hazardous application of exposure to air born silica. Water Curtains are not efficient (not even close) to the requirements of OSHA in this industry.
Granite, sandstone and many of the tile products represent materials that can be composed of at least 40-60% crystalline silica and thus this material is cut and polished into air born dust that can settle through out the facility from factory to show room and front offices.
Protect Yourself with a ReplaceAIR™.
