Metalworking & Fabrication

Grinding · Deburring · Stamping · Forming

Metal grinding, deburring, and forming operations release fine metallic dust and airborne particulates that pose serious respiratory hazards. MAXFLO systems capture dust at the source, keeping your facility compliant with OSHA 1910.1000 air contaminant limits and NFPA 68/654 combustible dust standards.

Common Contaminants
Metal dust Grinding sparks Abrasive particles Fine metallic fines Combustible dust
Recommended Equipment
Welder working in a dark industrial shop

Welding & Plasma Cutting

MIG · TIG · Stick · Plasma · Laser

Welding fumes contain hexavalent chromium, manganese, and other toxic metals classified as OSHA-regulated carcinogens. Plasma and laser cutting add ozone and nitrogen oxides to the mix. MAXFLO fume extraction arms and downdraft tables capture contaminants directly at the source before they reach the breathing zone.

Common Contaminants
Welding fume Hexavalent chromium Manganese Ozone Metal oxides Smoke
Recommended Equipment
Automotive mechanic working on a car engine in a shop bay

Automotive & Transportation

Body Shops · Finishing · Fleet Maintenance

Automotive facilities deal with paint overspray, solvent fumes, vehicle exhaust, and grinding dust all under the same roof. MAXFLO provides OSHA- and NFPA-compliant paint booths, exhaust removal systems, and fume collectors to keep your technicians safe and your shop inspectable.

Common Contaminants
Paint overspray VOCs & solvents Vehicle exhaust Carbon monoxide Grinding dust
Recommended Equipment
Carpenter working on wood with hand tools in a workshop

Woodworking & Millwork

Sawing · Sanding · Routing · Finishing

Wood dust is one of the most commonly cited OSHA and NFPA 664 combustible dust hazards in manufacturing. Fine sanding dust and hardwood particles accumulate rapidly and create both health and fire risks. MAXFLO baghouse and cartridge systems are sized for high-volume wood dust applications.

Common Contaminants
Fine wood dust Sanding dust Combustible dust Finishing fumes Sawdust
Recommended Equipment
Metal rod being machined on a precision lathe

CNC Machining & Precision Manufacturing

Milling · Turning · EDM · Grinding

CNC operations generate continuous oil mist, coolant mist, and fine metallic aerosols that coat equipment and create slippery, hazardous floors. MAXFLO mist collectors mount directly at the machine or centrally to a bank of equipment, dramatically improving air quality and reducing housekeeping costs.

Common Contaminants
Oil mist Coolant mist Metallic aerosols Smoke Fine particulate
Recommended Equipment
Grain storage silos at a food and agriculture facility

Food Processing & Agriculture

Milling · Mixing · Packaging · Bakery

Food-grade facilities face unique air quality challenges: flour, sugar, spice, and grain dust are all combustible under NFPA 61 and NFPA 654. Stainless steel construction is often required for sanitation compliance. MAXFLO stainless steel collectors meet food industry requirements without compromising performance.

Common Contaminants
Flour dust Sugar dust Spice particulate Grain dust Food-grade fumes
Recommended Equipment
Workers manufacturing product in a sterile pharmaceutical environment

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

Compounding · Tableting · Packaging

Pharmaceutical dust containment is critical for both operator safety and product integrity. API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) dusts require high-efficiency capture and strict cross-contamination control. MAXFLO decontamination booths and HEPA-equipped portable units are designed for these demanding environments.

Common Contaminants
API dust Powder particulate Chemical fumes Fine aerosols Excipient dust
Recommended Equipment
Industrial processing plant with pipes and tanks

Chemical & Industrial Processing

Mixing · Blending · Coating · Spray

Chemical processing environments involve volatile organic compounds, solvent vapors, and reactive dust that require specialized multi-stage filtration with carbon adsorption. MAXFLO fume and odor control systems include carbon modules and HEPA stages to address the full spectrum of chemical contaminants.

Common Contaminants
VOCs Solvent vapors Chemical fumes Reactive dust Odors
Recommended Equipment
Fire trucks parked inside a fire station garage

Fleet Maintenance & Emergency Services

Fire Stations · Truck Fleets · Transit · Bus Depots

Diesel exhaust in enclosed garages contains carcinogenic particulates and carbon monoxide at levels far exceeding OSHA permissible limits. MAXFLO vehicle exhaust removal systems are engineered for fire stations, fleet maintenance shops, and transit facilities where repeated engine starts create persistent exposure risk.

Common Contaminants
Diesel exhaust Carbon monoxide Diesel particulate Carbon soot PAHs
Recommended Equipment
Technician powder coating a metal part with a spray gun

Surface Finishing & Coating

Spray Painting · Powder Coating · Plating · Blasting

Spray painting and powder coating operations release isocyanates, chromate pigments, and flammable solvent vapors that require both particulate and chemical filtration. MAXFLO paint booths are self-contained, OSHA-compliant, and available in multiple sizes — from benchtop portable units to custom 30-foot industrial booths.

Common Contaminants
Paint overspray Isocyanates Solvent vapors Powder coating dust Blasting abrasives
