Skid Steers are often used on infrastructure projects both above and below ground and can generate hazardous silica dust that poses a health risk to construction workers. The onboard dust extraction system consists of flexible and solid ducting which runs between the Negative Air Pressure Sweeper (NAPS) and the dust control unit which is mounted at the rear of the Skid Steer.
 
The dust control unit features a twin-stage axial fan (powered by an electric or hydraulic motor), fan diverter, patented dual SpinX separators to discharge heavy particles from the incoming air stream, floating filter frame, panel filter, and a hopper with slide gate discharge. The support frame has been designed to fit any Skid Steer make and model.
 
Key Features
Negative Air Pressure Sweeper (NAPS): This sweeper houses
a rotary brush with enclosed sides.
Dual Air Intakes: Two 200mm diameter spigots, which allow
ducting to be attached.
Heavy Particle Clean-Out Grates: Heavy particles are
captured in grates on the top of the sweeper house to avoid
blockages in the duct run and increase filter life. These can be
easily cleaned via the quick-release mechanism.
Ducting: Both flexible and solid ducting connect the Negative
Air Pressure Sweeper (NAPS) to the dust control unit.
The flexible ducting allows for effective operation while
maneuvering on-site, whereas the solid ducting minimizes
pressure loss throughout the system.
