The more that you
understand about the potential dangers of clay and glaze dusts,
the more you realize that it is crucial to protect yourself and
others in the work area. Years of
exposure can result in serious consequences to your health.
The
pottery process generates fine dusts that are impossible to
control through conventional cleaning practices. Did
you know that sweeping will launch millions of sub-micron
particles into the air that will stay airborne for several days? Even
if you wear a mask when you sweep, you will still be coming into a
potentially harmful atmosphere the next day.
|
|
The
Air Cleaning System serves a vital function by constantly cleaning
the air that you breathe. Airborne dust is an avoidable
part of working in clay. You may not be able to see it in the air,
but it’s there! Just check under tables, on top of shelves,
cabinets and storage areas. You will find layers of air-floated
dusts.
Filter
Style vs. Electrostatic Cleaners
Our air cleaners utilize high-efficiency filters to capture
clay dust. This is the only way to effectively clean the air in a pottery
studio. This is very different from "electrostatic-style" air
cleaners which use electrically charged plates to attract pollutants.
However, the electrostatic style air cleaners are NOT well suited to
|
capture of clay dusts.
Electrostatic cleaners are designed primarily for smoke pollution.
They are less expensive, but they do not offer the protection for
the clay studio. Do not be deceived into thinking an electrostatic
cleaner is a suitable substitute for high efficiency filters!
We
offer two varieties of filtering capabilities: standard
vee-bag filters which are 95% efficient at .7 microns, and HEPA
filters which offer increased protection with 99.97% efficiency at
.3 microns. An air cleaning system will add to your confidence
that you are working in a safe environment. |

These air cleaners are known
in the industry as “interception filtration”
systems. Recent breakthroughs in the use of random fiber media have led to
the development of bag filters that are able to strip sub-micron
particles from the air and contain them. As the dust enters the cleaner,
the larger particles are trapped in the “pre-filter.” The finer
particles will pass through the pre-filter
and enter the main “Vee-Bag”
filter where 95% of all particles .7
microns or larger will be contained. The cleaned air is then
exhausted back into the room.
New!
Both of our air cleaners now come with an extra bag filter installed.
This will better extend the life of the HEPA Main Filter. This new Bag
Filter can be retrofitted to older, pre-existing units. (Call for more
information on retrofitting). The main HEPA filter should be changed at least every
2 years and the pre-filter and bag filter should both be changed at least every
year.
|
|
If you require extra
protection, you can purchase our HEPA
Filter Series. After the dust passes through the standard “pre-filter”
in this Series, the finer particles enter a HEPA-rated Main Filter. This
HEPA Filter removes 99.97% of all
particles .3 microns or larger. HEPA
Systems are often required in schools and are recommended where
particularly toxic materials are used. NOTE:
standard filtration units cannot be retrofitted with HEPA Filters. A
HEPA-model cleaner must be ordered to use HEPA filters.
The key factor in obtaining a
safe working environment is choosing the proper-sized system for your work
area. The Air Cleaner should cycle a minimum of 10
complete air exchanges per hour. This means that the equivalent
air volume of the room will pass through the machine at least 10 times
every hour. Refer to the “specifications” chart on the next page to
determine the correct size and number of units required for your studio
space. REMEMBER: Room coverage is figured in
CUBIC FEET (not square feet). Multiply LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT
to determine the cubic footage of your room. Filters should be replaced
every 1 to 2 years, depending on the amount of dust produced in your
studio.

Positioning
the Air Cleaner
|
| Air
cleaners can either be hung from the ceiling or mounted on a shelf
against the wall at ceiling level. The unit must be positioned to
set up a circular flow pattern around the perimeter
of the room (A). Do not place the unit too
close to a corner as this will cause unfiltered air to bypass the
cleaner entirely (B). |
Finally, an
irregular or “L”-shaped room
requires specific placement. Mount the air cleaner so that the
intake draws from the smaller portion of the room (E).
The unit should not exhaust into the smaller portion
since this will set up a circular pattern within that area alone
that will impede the cleaner’s effectiveness in the larger area. |
|
A = Correct
|
B = Incorrect
|
E = Irregular or
L-Shaped Rooms
|
| Larger
studios or classrooms may require more than one unit to
effectively purify the room. Multiple units must be equally spaced
around the perimeter of the room AND must draw in the same
direction (C). Similarly, an air conditioning or heating
system must also be considered when determining the
direction of draw for the Air Cleaner (D). They
must not work against each other. |
Installation:
All units can be either hung from a ceiling (chain and mounting
brackets not included) or mounted on a wall shelf. All models have
variable speed controls, a 6 ft. power cord and will plug into any
standard 115v outlet. Please note: The manufacturer does
not recommend using an extension cord with these units. Due to the
short power cord on the ceiling-mounted units, it may be necessary
to have an outlet installed near ceiling height to accommodate.
Optional remote speed controls are available for the
ceiling mounted units: wiring by an electrician is required to
install. |

PLEASE BE
ADVISED:
To properly control ceramic dusts you must incorporate other cleaning
practices including wet mopping, use of a Ceramic Dust Vac, and providing
appropriate ventilation. These Air Cleaners are intended for general air
cleaning and should not be used to control intense dust environments such
as Clay Mixing Rooms. Call us if you would like to discuss dust management
for your specific studio situation.
