Product details

Metal Conservation Dust Extraction Workstation

Product Positioning

Designed to capture local dust and odours produced while organizing, mechanically cleaning and treating bronze, iron and other metal artifacts, ceramics and suitable three-dimensional collection objects. Its articulated extraction arm and negative-pressure work surface support work around three-dimensional objects and distinguish it from book-and-document workstations configured for paper handling, manual surface cleaning and related localized extraction. HEPA filtration reduces pollutant dispersion around the operator.

Product Overview

The workstation collects dust, particulates and odours using an overhead articulated extraction arm and a perforated negative-pressure work surface, then filters the extracted air through an H11 HEPA medium.

A rotating, height-adjustable and lockable work platform provides a stable, adaptable position for bronze, iron, ceramic and other three-dimensional objects.

Dust Extraction System

Articulated Extraction Arm

The upper extraction arm can be repositioned in direction and angle so the hood remains close to the active treatment area.

Negative-Pressure Work Surface

Dust generated during treatment passes through perforations in the worktop into the negative-pressure extraction system.

HEPA Filtration

The system uses an H11 HEPA filter medium for extracted-air filtration.

Selection Questions

Which operations fit this workstation? It is intended for localized cleaning and mechanical treatment of bronze, iron, ceramics and other suitable three-dimensional objects where dust, particulates or odours are generated near the work area. It is not a room-wide dust-control system.

What should be assessed before use? Review object stability, the proposed tool and treatment method, expected particulate or odour load, and whether H11 HEPA filtration is appropriate for the material generated. Hazard-specific controls may still be required following the laboratory risk assessment.

Which details affect configuration? Confirm object dimensions and weight, operator reach, extraction-arm position, hood form, work-platform size and lifting needs, storage, filtration access and room layout. These determine whether the standard workstation or a project-configured arrangement better supports the treatment workflow.
