Read our suggested paths for reflection to help you solve this dilemma.

Do you remember the movie Erin Brockovich? Based on a real-life disaster starring Julia Roberts, the movie shows the ravages of a cancer-causing agent polluting the groundwater of the small town of Hinkley, California. What contaminant caused that tragedy? Hexavalent chromium (or chromium VI).

Are you new to your company? Perhaps you’re not too familiar with your existing dust collection system (which is a good sign if everything has been running smoothly for some time!)?

If you want to do an intervention on your unit, the first step is to identify the model to ensure that you take appropriate action. Demystify the various types of cylindrical dust collectors with our decision tree, perfect for guiding you in your diagnosis.
