What Problem Are You Trying to Solve?

Click a problem below to explore possible solutions. We'll help determine the best approach for your process.

Dust collecting on floors, equipment or overhead surfaces can indicate ineffective source capture, inadequate housekeeping, or a dust collection system no longer supports the process.

Possible Solution

Fine particles, dust or other contaminants remaining in the air can indicate ineffective source capture, inadequate filtration, or airflow that is allowing contaminants to migrate beyond the process area.

Possible Solution

Visible smoke, process fumes or persistent odors can indicate that contaminants are not being captured effectively at the source or adequately treated before the air is exhausted or returned.

Possible Solution

Recurring blockages, material buildup or stalled product can indicate improper conveying velocity, piping configuration, material characteristics, or a system that no longer matches production requirements.

Possible Solution

Accumulated or airborne combustible dust can create fire and explosion risks when collection, housekeeping, ventilation, or protection measures do not adequately address the material and process.

Possible Solution

Dead zones, escaping dust, uneven capture or uncomfortable work areas can indicate an airflow imbalance, inadequate exhaust, poor source capture, or changes to the process that the ventilation system was not designed to accommodate.

Possible Solution

Excessive housekeeping, filter changes, equipment cleaning or system maintenance can be a sign that contaminants are being managed after they escape rather than captured effectively at the source.

Possible Solution

Surging, uneven feed rates or unreliable material transfer can disrupt downstream processes and may indicate problems with conveying conditions, equipment sizing, controls, or material handling.

Possible Solution

Valuable material ending up in waste streams, filters, containers or on the plant floor may represent an opportunity to capture, recover, reuse, or return material to the process.

Possible Solution

Processes that must be stopped for cleaning, blockages, material handling or environmental issues can point to a system that is interfering with production instead of supporting it.

Possible Solution

Products and components may require controlled exposure to dust, sand, temperature, humidity or other environmental conditions to validate performance, meet customer specifications, or demonstrate compliance with applicable test standards.

Engineering Before Equipment

The most effective industrial air systems begin long before equipment is selected.
We evaluate your manufacturing process, material characteristics, facility layout, airflow requirements, utilities, environmental conditions, operator interaction, maintenance practices, and future production goals before designing a solution. That engineering-first approach helps facilities avoid the recurring problems that standardized equipment often cannot solve.

Testimonials

"We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine. It has been a major help with maintaining clean floors and machines. We have also used it to unplug clogged pneumatic conveying lines where compressed air did not effectively work. In the past, we used brooms and compressed air to clean which caused the dust to float in the air, moving from surface to surface. The PLECO vacuum eliminates floating dust and its suction is powerful enough to get the fine dust out of the cracks and off the floor quickly. I like that it’s portable to move it where you need it."

- Eric Steigman, Owner, and Plant Manager, Small Valley Milling
Testimonials

"Daniel Lehman was so much more knowledgeable than the competition- probably more knowledgeable than anyone in the country, about industrial vacuums."

- C. Milum, Textile Company
Testimonials We recommend Air Dynamics!

"Working with Air Dynamics was an incredibly enjoyable experience for our engineering firm. They brought expertise to the table that we did not necessarily have in-house, and they conveyed it in a way that was easy for us, our shareholders, and our executives to understand. We would recommend Air Dynamics for anyone looking for a pneumatic or material handling conveying solutions."

- L. Samuelson, Engineer, power company
Testimonials

"The Desert Wind is the best technology we have found for testing and calibration laboratories. We use it within the aerospace and military sectors to assist the creation of parts development and provide part of the certification needed."

- Stephane Carpentier, Dir. Innovation & Development, CTA
Testimonials

"We purchased the PLĒCO 8.5 HP vacuum for our powdered colors business. We chose this substantially built vacuum over a European import that didn’t offer what this American made system did. We purchased a second unit because the first system performed excellent even after filling the canister again and again without affecting the pressure drop across the filters at all.

- G. Maynard, A Powdered Color Products Firm
Testimonials

"Technical support to design and evaluation of dust control / vacuum systems was stellar. Proposal and services associated with selected option are amazing. Product and service exceeds expectations."

- J. Paradis, Director of EH&S, USA Recycle
Testimonials

"The Air Dynamics’ dust collector is an excellent vacuum and has never cost us any downtime – it works great. Of all the vacuums I have ever used in the industry, it is the most robust - zero maintenance issues running 20+ hours a week with multiple users."

- R. Mason, Plant Manager, a plastics manufacturing company
Testimonials

"We’ve connected the vacuum hoses to our grinders and tried them out for the first time in last night’s shop class. The draw across all 5 dust collector machines is amazing! We are very pleased and praise your team for a job well done!"

- C. Zimmerman, Manufacturer’s Association
Testimonials Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with.

"We’re a resource recovery company. We selected two PLĒCO 30 HP portable vacuum systems configured for bulk pickup. Our customer just laughed at us when the Air Dynamics PLĒCO vacuums showed up. They actually said, ‘they‘d never work!’ Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with. The plant had a $100,000 central vacuum system; they even tried a “super sucker” with no decent results. The company gave up trying to recover the powdered tungsten themselves. We had their plant cleaned up in record time, even though the powdered tungsten weighed 1,150 pounds per cubic foot!"
