Machining & Metalworking Dust Collection & Fume Extraction
Machining metal can make a mess. A big mess.
Metal operations and metal machining can create dust, debris, mist, fumes and grit that – if not removed from the air – can seriously sicken your employees, damage your equipment and even ignite explosions.
The best way to remove these potentially dangerous airborne pollutants and maintain clean air in your operation is by using high-quality, long-lasting dust collection systems and fume extraction equipment supplied by Hastings Air Energy Control.
For more than a half century, Hastings Air Energy Control has developed and delivered dust collection systems and fume extraction equipment for the metal, metalworking and metal machining industries across the nation.

Abrasive Blasting
Air Cleaning Systems For the Metals & Machining Industry
Providing the Product You Need
Abrasive blasting, foundry operations, machining, thermal spray application and welding involve such as cutting, shaping, sanding, grinding, polishing and buffing that can generate extremely toxic dust, debris, mist, fumes and grit.
Hasting Air Energy Control’s air filtration and air flow technology, dust collection systems and fume extraction equipment meet and exceed your exacting specifications and the most stringent regulatory standards to control and remove these potentially dangerous airborne pollutants generated by metalworking and machining.
For Metal Dust and Debris
Metal oxide is produced when cutting or chopping materials like titanium, aluminum, zirconium, and magnesium. If not properly collected, metal oxide build-ups can ignite or explode becoming a fire and safety hazard. Stainless steel and chromium elements in these processes pose the highest risk of being potentially carcinogenic and harmful to workers’ health.
Hastings Air Energy Control metalworking and machining dust collectors are designed to lock in dust and debris without interfering with the process.
Booth Module with remote regain
- Workers sit perpendicular to airflow
- High enough velocities with regain for large work areas.
- VFD on each unit to control airflow
- HEPA after filter for Hex Chrome
Hooding and Airflow
- At least 50 fpm through enclosure openings
- 100 fpm at generation for enclosure less
Bag Mist Collector
- Chevron pre filter
- Bag media - handles dirty mist better than pleated and drains better because of open pores
- DOP after filter
For Mist and Fumes
Processes like wet machining use cooling lubricants to extend the life of the machines, but also generate large amounts of mist and smoke emitted into the air. Our team of expert engineers fabricates machining fume extraction systems that capture and remove wet particulates that guarantee the safety of your facilities from heavy fumes.
Our extraction systems maintain a clean air, prevent employee accidents, decrease worker’s compensation claim, and create a safe, productive working environment. Our systems also exceed NFPA standards and OSHA regulations capturing fumes and dust before they contaminate the workplace air.
Robotic Weld Hood with strip curtains
- Contains fumes within enclosure
- Remote DC for small area
- Removes welding fumes from extended area for workers safety
Round Baghouse
- Epoxy coating for condensed acids from process
- Lime Injection system for oils and unburnt hydrocarbons from process
- Exhaust to atmosphere
- Bleed in air for temperature reduction
- Air blender for uniform air temp
- High temp components and filters (think gaskets, paint, extended taps and ports.
Bag Mist Collector
- Chevron pre filter
- Bag media - handles dirty mist better than pleated and drains better because of open pores
- DOP after filter
Hooding and Airflow
- At least 50 fpm through enclosure openings
- 100 fpm at generation for enclosure less
For Grit
Due to their extreme power, processes such as abrasive blasting can easily remove heavy surface materials, but can also produce excessive amounts of debris. Our metalworking and machining cartridge dust collection systems capture elements such as sand and other grits of all sizes while maintaining airflow.
Cartridge Dust Collector
- Spunbond cartridges
- AR inlet
- Broken Bag Detector
Afterfilter for abrasion holes
Cyclone Pre-separator
- Un powered
- Media recovery
