Extraction of Graphite Dusts from Machining
Processing graphite through turning, milling, drilling, or grinding produces fine dust that can spread throughout the machinery, work area, and surrounding environment. To protect worker health, maintain equipment performance, and comply with regulatory standards, high-efficiency dust separation systems are essential for managing graphite dust.
Graphite Dusts are Optimally Captured and Reliably Filtered
Dust collectors from the L-CUT and VARIO series are well suited for extracting graphite dust from machine tools.
Capture elements are specifically adapted to the function of the machine and the movement paths of its axes to ensure efficient extraction.
In addition to an ignition-free design, a spark pre-separator can be used to further reduce the risk of fire.
Graphite dust is often classified as St1 (explosive). However, in most cases, its minimum ignition energy is high enough that explosion protection measures are not required.
