Industrial leaders – from facilities managers to safety professionals, C-suite and beyond – know the importance of removing harmful particulate matter or contaminants from the air for both workers’ health and compliance with federal air quality regulations. When building a new facility, installing new equipment or making changes to production lines and processes, industrial ventilation…
Transcript Hood design is very important and actually crucial for the functionality of a collection system. Improper hood design can cause a lot of issues and probably the most common one is the placement of the hood in relation to where the contaminant is being generated. A lot of times the hoods are too far away from the…

In the past several years, we have seen an increase in customer requests for industrial ventilation analyses. While the need to become silica standard-compliant has driven many of those requests, more customers also are realizing the benefit an engineering study can have on their operation and bottom line. Why Conduct an Industrial Ventilation Analysis In…
The performance of a dust collector or industrial ventilation system depends on the type and size of particulate, collection points, humidity and more. Every industrial plant is different. Therefore, not only do various scenarios have to be taken into consideration when designing a dust collection system, but calculations should be tested to ensure system performance….
Vice President Dan Struensee discusses the steps IVI Inc. takes when awarded a plan and spec industrial ventilation project.
Industrial ventilation design engineering provides many benefits. Vice President Darwin Struensee discusses the benefits that a design engineering solution brings to an industrial ventilation system project. Learn how an in-house team of engineers and designers benefit projects of all sizes.
Achieving optimum airflow through an industrial dust collection system is done by balancing the system. Balancing involves adjusting the dampers to provide proper airflow to individual pickup points. It’s important to understand how your industrial dust collection system is performing and how to accommodate the ever-changing effects on the system through balancing. Why balancing your…
Industrial dust collectors generally have multiple collection points—also called pickup points. Determining where to place these collection points in your facility should be based on several factors, from the type of material being collected to workers’ health and wellness. By choosing optimal locations for localized dust collection, you are likely to maximize system air flow,…
Industrial dust collection systems should be designed for optimal industrial airflow. Each type of industrial collection system—dust collection and fume collection—has unique requirements for optimized airflow. Benefits of proper industrial airflow by dust collection type Design methods for industrial airflow Duct Network Design Either the blast gate or balance method can be used to design…
A dust collection systems airflow can be optimized to reduce waste and extend the life of the facility and equipment. The correct airflow also contributes to worker safety and productivity by minimizing potentially harmful materials in the environment. The importance of optimal industrial airflow Proper airflow is an important element of any dust collection system….
Frequently Asked Questions 1) What is a design/build solution? IVI’s design/build solution is a turnkey industrial ventilation solution as the entire project is completed under one roof from the beginning designs, to the fabrication and installation of an industrial ventilation system. A design/build solution offers the opportunity to have the project’s specifications planned by the…
The efficiency of an industrial ventilation system’s fan can reduce an organization’s overall energy demands significantly. An industrial fan’s performance depends on the industrial ventilation system’s design and layout, the type of fan selected, the system requirements and proper maintenance of the fan after installation. During the design phase of an industrial ventilation system, the…
The primary goal of an industrial ventilation system hood is to capture and transfer environmental contaminants. A hood’s size and shape is designed specific to its end application but is typically classified within the enclosing hood or exterior hood category. Hood Types Enclosing hoods: An enclosing hood will completely or partially surround the point where…
