Description
This video shows how water flooding and atomised water mists suppress the generation of dusts as compared to dry cutting devices. This results in significantly lower concentrations of airborne crystalline silica dusts. The film shows dust formation in the video and the dust concentration as a curve from parallel dust measurements.
The video is available in several EU languages; access via selecting the proper language in the language menue and klick on "implementation / videos".
