Can a single extractor be used for both workshops and construction sites?
Yes, the only question is how appropriate it is to use a single extractor for workshops and construction sites.
For instance, a CTH 48l H Class Dust Extractor weighing more than 18kg may be too heavy to be transported for smaller tasks. Nor is extracting mineral dusts without the AC function recommended.
Also, it is not beneficial to use a CT SYS for extraction at workshops if the machines used produce high volumes of dust, for example routers or planers. This is because the container of this suction device would be filled within a few seconds. In these cases, machines with larger dust containers would be better suited.
If you would like to use a single extractor for workshops and construction sites at the same time, you should be clear beforehand about the type and quantity of dust and check whether your machine meets the requirements for dust-free work.
