A dust collector is a device designed to improve air quality by removing dust and other particles from the air in industrial and commercial settings. It works by using a fan to draw in air, which passes through filters or bags that capture the dust. This process helps to keep work environments clean and safe for employees. Dust collectors are commonly used in industries such as woodworking, metalworking, and manufacturing, where dust can be a significant health hazard. By effectively capturing airborne particles, dust collectors help to reduce respiratory issues and maintain compliance with health and safety regulations.
