Air purifiers and construction vacuum cleaners for clean building sites

by B. Velonavy - 2024-02-13

Dust is part of everyday life on building sites. Grinding, milling, chiselling or refurbishing generates fine particles that not only pollute the working environment but also pose health risks. At the same time, clients and residents are placing ever-greater demands on clean working processes.

Dust is increasingly becoming a crucial quality factor, particularly during renovation work in occupied buildings. At the bauma, it is therefore evident that modern construction site technology is no longer focused solely on performance and productivity, but also on the protection of people and spaces.

Dustcontrol presents the Tromb 400 for mobile vacuuming

Dustcontrol has been dedicated to dust extraction on construction sites and in industrial applications for many years. Among the highlights of its exhibition stand is the new Tromb 400. This is a compact construction vacuum cleaner designed to achieve high airflow despite its small dimensions. The power supply is particularly noteworthy. Whilst powerful industrial vacuum cleaners in this class often rely on high-voltage power, the new unit operates on a standard 230-volt connection. This opens up a wide range of applications, particularly on smaller construction sites, during renovations or in private buildings where no high-voltage connection is available. The vacuum is suitable for grinders, milling machines and numerous other applications where dust needs to be captured directly at the source. The combination of high suction power, compact dimensions and a simple power supply addresses an area that previously often required a compromise between mobility and performance.

AirCube air purifier protects occupied rooms during refurbishments

Dust plays an even greater role in refurbishment work than in new builds. When a bathroom is being modernised or a living space renovated, the occupants often continue to live in the building. The AirCube air purifier was developed precisely for such situations. The device continuously filters the indoor air and reduces the spread of dust particles into adjacent areas. Instead of the particles spreading unchecked throughout the home, they are actively removed from the air. For businesses in the crafts sector, this offers an additional benefit. Those who can offer low-dust working conditions not only improve working conditions on the construction site but also create visible added value for the customer. Cleanliness is increasingly becoming a quality feature that can play a role in the awarding of contracts.

Multi-stage filter technology for high air quality

The operating principle of the air purifier is based on a multi-stage filter system. The contaminated air is drawn in and passed through various filter stages. Coarse and fine filters are used, which retain even very small particles. According to the manufacturer, the air leaves the unit with a purity level of up to 99.95 per cent. A further advantage is that the purified air does not necessarily have to be discharged outdoors. It can be channelled into adjacent rooms, which significantly simplifies installation on many construction sites.

Key features of the solutions presented:

  • Tromb 400 with high air flow at a 230-volt connection
  • Suitable for use with grinders, milling machines and other tools
  • Compact design for mobile applications
  • AirCube air purifier for renovation work in occupied buildings
  • Multi-stage filter system with coarse and fine filters
  • Purification efficiency of up to 99.95 per cent
  • Reduction in dust levels and cleaning effort

Health and safety is becoming increasingly important on construction sites

The importance of effective dust extraction has grown significantly in recent years. Fine dust particles can irritate the respiratory tract and cause long-term health problems. That is why modern extraction and air purification systems are now also supported and promoted by institutions such as the German Construction Industry Association (Berufsgenossenschaft Bau). For companies, this is not just a matter of legal requirements. Less dust also means reduced cleaning effort, higher customer satisfaction and better working conditions for their own employees. These benefits are particularly evident indoors.

Dust management is becoming part of modern construction site logistics

The systems presented at bauma highlight a shift within the construction industry. Alongside productivity and machine performance, aspects such as occupational safety, quality of life and sustainability are increasingly taking centre stage. With the Tromb 400 and the AirCube, Dustcontrol presents two solutions that serve different requirements but pursue the same goal: to capture or filter dust right where it is generated. For tradespeople, renovation firms and construction companies, this can help make work processes cleaner, more efficient and more customer-friendly. Demand for such solutions is likely to continue to rise, particularly when working in occupied buildings.
