Clean Air Solutions from Control Gear
Control Gear provides industrial dust extraction services in Bath and surrounding areas. Established in 1973, we specialise in designing and installing systems that remove harmful particles from workplace environments. Our team handles everything from initial assessment to ongoing maintenance.
The Importance of Dust and Fume Extraction
Manufacturing processes generate various airborne contaminants. Wood dust, metal particles and chemical vapours can affect workplace health when not properly managed. Proper extraction systems serve several important functions:
- Health Protection – Reduces exposure to respiratory irritants and potential long-term health issues
- Operational Efficiency – Maintains cleaner work areas and helps prevent equipment contamination
- Regulatory Compliance – Helps meet HSE requirements and COSHH regulations
Our Services
Control Gear installs and maintains extraction equipment suited to different industrial applications across Bath, Bristol and the West Country.
- Mobile Units – Portable collectors for smaller workshops and changing workstations
- Central Systems – Fixed installations for larger facilities with multiple extraction points
- Source Capture – Flexible arms and hoods that connect directly to dust-producing machinery
Testing and Maintenance
Regular system checks are essential for effective operation. Our engineers conduct thorough LEV testing in accordance with current regulations. The HSE requires formal testing every 14 months, though we recommend more frequent inspections for heavily used systems.
