Industrial Downdraft Table

What is an Industrial Downdraft Table?

An Industrial Downdraft Table is a source-capture workbench that pulls fumes, dust, and vapors down through the work surface, utilizing negative pressure, through an air filtration system in order to protect the operator’s breathing zone. “Industrial” downdraft tables offer a stable structure with powerful cfm to handle heavy-duty projects such as solvent vapor control, solder fumes, light grinding, epoxy fume control, sanding, and a variety of other industrial applications.

How do Industrial Downdraft Tables work?

Is your application appropriate for an Industrial Downdraft Table?

In most instances, applications that involve fume and vapor control, powder containment, or respirable material from grinding or sanding can use an industrial downdraft table as an engineering safety control.

However, some downdraft tables (if not adequately suitable or filtered) limit applications that can be performed on them due to high volatility and gases that cannot be filtered. In these circumstances, important considerations must be taken, including what types of chemicals will be handled, the quantity, and at what temperature. It is also important to note that this is not a wet application downdraft table and speaking with an application specialist is recommended to qualify if your process fits the capabilities of an industrial downdraft table.
