Enclosed grinding booths with spark-resistant dust collection for metal fabrication, weld prep and abrasive cutting.
PFS grinding booths give metal grinding, weld prep and abrasive cutting a controlled enclosure that contains sparks and captures metal particulate before it can build up in the shop. Grinding throws high-temperature sparks and fine metal dust, so the booth combines spark-resistant collection, grounded steel construction and high-velocity exhaust.
Standalone or integrated with PFS prep lines. Wall-mounted dust collectors, overhead material handling and custom sizes are available. ETL/UL listed components, made in the USA.
Collection designed to stop sparks before they reach the filter media.
Grounded steel panels and doors contain sparks and debris inside the booth.
Airflow sized to pull grinding dust away from the operator and into collection.
Dust collectors mounted along the booth wall capture particulate at each work station.
Booth structures can be designed for overhead cranes and rails so heavy parts move in and out safely.
LED lighting for clear visibility of welds, edges and surface finish.
Grinding sparks can ignite dust in filters and ducts. A grinding booth separates sparks from the collected dust with spark-resistant collection and keeps the collector away from ignition sources.
Steel grinding and aluminum grinding should not share a collector. Aluminum, magnesium and titanium dust falls under NFPA 484, which often calls for wet collection and keeps these dusts away from ferrous sparks.
NFPA 652 calls for a dust hazard analysis (DHA) for processes that make combustible dust. Its results drive the collector type, explosion protection and housekeeping plan.
Pulse-cleaned cartridge collectors handle the heavy, continuous dust load of production grinding and keep airflow steady between filter changes.
Grinding dust and paint overspray should never share an exhaust system. Keep the grinding booth and its collection separate from the paint booth, upstream of prep and paint in your line.
Plan door size and booth height around your largest weldment, plus overhead crane or rail access if parts are moved by hoist.
Tell us your metals, part sizes and stations. We will recommend the enclosure and collection.
An enclosed workspace for metal grinding, weld prep and abrasive cutting. It contains sparks and captures metal dust at the source.
No. Grinding sparks and paint overspray are a fire hazard together. Keep grinding in its own booth with its own dust collection.
If your process makes combustible dust, NFPA 652 calls for a dust hazard analysis. Aluminum, magnesium and titanium dust also falls under NFPA 484.
Yes. Grinding booths can be designed around overhead cranes, rails and oversized doors for large weldments.
Yes. Single-station booths through multi-station rooms are built to your parts and floor space.
