Dust Control Booths
Isolation of small areas or processes within a larger facility is a cost-effective means to control plant air quality. Enclosing a dust source and containing the “dirty air” in a walk-in booth or enclosure, minimizes the amount of air that needs to be cleaned and thus the cost of control. Dust control enclosures encapsulate processes where pollutants are blown around and dispersed within a facility by cross drafts, man coolers, compressed air, or by rotating equipment like sanders and grinders. Enclosures can be rigid wall sheet metal construction or a soft wall design using vinyl curtains or noise blankets.
Dust Containment Booth for Batch Mixing
Dust Containment Booth for Batch Mixing
Unit has galvanized side walls, lined with Noise Blankets and has overhead lighting. Twin Donaldson Model DWS dust collection modules pull airborne particulate away from the operator’s breathing zone. The booth is equipped with a continuous pulse cleaning system which maintains indraft velocity and the cartridge filters with maximum lifespan. Containment was necessary to prevent cross product contamination.
Environmental Control Booth in Powder Mixing Operation
Environmental Control Booth in Powder Mixing Operation
Environmental Control Booth size 8’d X 11’w X 8’h – manual powder mixing operation. There were three (3) Donaldson Model DWS 4-3 modules, exhausting 13,500 CFM, with HEPA after-filters were included in this design. Dust Control Booth with noise blankets on the metal wall and ceiling sections with interior lighting. Donaldson Torit DWST compressed air pulse cleaning dust collection modules in back wall with return air HEPA filters. The top mounted dampers are closed when collecting stainless steel weld smoke for Hex Chrome containment, but when they run carbon steel, they open louvers for recirculation.
Wet Scrubber Walk-In Booth
Wet Scrubber Walk-In Booth
Wet Scrubber Walk-In Booth applied to aluminum debur process - 12' x 12'x 8' in size, 15 HP Motor, interior sound curtains, 8,000 CFM with 2,000 CFM regain airflow. Scrubber is made of 304 SS with booth constructed of aluminum. Equipment complies with NFPA 484 (2015) guidelines for wet collection of combustible dust. Dust Control Booth with a Wet Scrubber on the back wall where aluminum dust from a grinding operation was being collected. The unit was constructed of a stainless steel shell with noise blankets on interior with cleaned air returned to the face of the enclosure to enhance entrance of dust into the wet unit. Regain air systems are an available option on all these units.
Environmental Control Booth for Metal Working Operation
Environmental Control Booth for Metal Working Operation
Metalworking operation using a Donaldson Torit Environmental Control Booth size 37’d X 11’h X 11’w with four Model DWS 6-4 units filtering 22,000 CFM of dust laden air. Environmental Control Booth for grinding large airplane parts. Booth is a Donaldson Torit ECB with noise blankets and lighting. Location is within a large facility where the booth isolates a smaller metal grinding area.
Dust Control Booth Maintenance Shop
Dust Control Booth Maintenance Shop
Dust Control Booth as a “mini” Maintenance Shop - Located in an airplane hangar, the booth was designed with Donaldson Torit ECB dust collection modules positioned on the back wall with booth wall and ceiling, reinforced vinyl sheeting. Machinery within the booth included welders, band saw, sander and twin downdraft tables.
Walk-in Dust Control Enclosure
Walk-in Dust Control Enclosure
Unit was constructed of aluminum, with noise blankets and overhead lighting - Unit has panel filters in the back wall for light dust filtration. Application was for a custom aluminum displays and signage for the textile/clothing industry.
FRP Dust Control Booths
FRP Dust Control Booths
Dust Control Booth comprised of three (3) Donaldson DWS modules with enclosure walls and ceiling of clear and/or grey vinyl. The process was grinding of FRP materials. The skirt on unit face increased the air velocity into the booth providing better isolation of dust within the booth space.
Advantages of Dust Control Booths
- Moveable
- Free of cross drafts
- Lowest dollar per CFM of all dust collection process options.
- Isolate dusty areas within a plant
- Captures and contains all the dust from the operation
- Cost-effective verses a ducted dust collection system
- Windows allows view of the operator in case of emergency
- Employee safety as noise is attenuated using noise blankets
Applications for Dust Control Booths
- Work stations
- Walk-in Clean Air Stations
- Self-Contained Filtration Booth

Typical Options for Dust Control Booths
- Filtration of captured particulate by way of a continuous duty pulse cleaning dust collection or a bank of replaceable throwaway filters
- Noise blankets to attenuate the noise of grinders or other rotating machinery
- Retractable enclosures – The complete booth can be retracted like an accordion
- Retractable roof section for crane access
- Removable panel sections with Velcro attachment to allow movement of materials thru the enclosure
- Custom designs to fit tight space envelopes
