How to Scope an Industrial Ventilation Project Thank you for considering IVI, Inc. for your ventilation project. Whether you need a full ventilation system engineered from the ground up or have a maintenance need, your goal can be accomplished with the right solution at a competitive cost. This guide covers the details required to: IVI’s experienced team is here to help you along…
What causes fabrication failure? Where can sheet metal ductwork fabrication go wrong? It starts with improper material selection. If an abrasive particulate such as silica isn’t matched with an abrasive-resistant duct material, the duct will not withstand wear and tear over time. Incorrect thickness can also lead to premature wear when the duct is too…
What to Expect from an Industrial Indoor Air Quality Survey [VIDEO] Transcript After IVI gets on site, we take a lot of different air readings and evaluate the the dust collection unit itself for wear and tear, the fan. So when we get back to the office we put together a pretty nice report basically laying out…
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…
We design, build and install our own dust collection systems, as well as maintain other dust collection systems and ductwork and HVAC systems all around the country. It really sets us apart from any other contractor in the country, because there’s a lot of contractors that deal with just the engineering piece and rely on another company…
Transcript There’s a couple reasons why customers should contact us to do these evaluations and what the benefit from those are. After time goes on they realize or they notice that some areas of then plant just seem more dusty or there’s more smoke than there used to be. That could be that there was a…
When IVI’s industrial ventilation installation team arrives on a job site, the first question customers usually ask is, “Where is the rest of the crew?” It’s one of our points of pride—our crew, smaller than most, can turn even large projects more quickly because everyone on the team knows their role. That means they work…
So many signs can point to the need for dust collector maintenance. Your dust collector may run out of volume or pick up too much product. You may notice high differential pressure in your baghouse. You may even experience buildup in your ductwork. Doing regular industrial ventilation maintenance can increase bag life, improve your dust…

An industrial ventilation engineering study is essentially an indoor air quality survey that helps detect dust collection problems at their source. Press play below to view “What is an Engineering Study?” If you’d like to conduct an engineering study at your facility, contact us. Video Transcript An engineering study tells us and, more importantly, tells…
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…
In the above-ground mining industry, so much relies on getting dust collection right. Silica dust collection must meet strict MSHA standards. And you need to make sure that your mine ventilation system isn’t carrying away good product. The combination of your product and process is unlike any other industry. That requires expertise in mining ventilation…
When it comes to industrial ventilation system design, the hood is the most crucial piece to ensuring the system functions effectively. Why? Because that is the critical point where particulates are captured and removed, leaving behind a cleaner, safer working environment. To ensure hoods fit a facility and its manufacturing process, dust collection hood design…
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….
