Why Dust Control Matters for the Hire Industry

The hire industry sits at a unique crossroads when it comes to dust control. Your customers are working across countless different sites and applications, from construction and renovation to industrial maintenance and manufacturing. They’re cutting concrete, grinding metal, sanding wood, and demolishing structures – all activities that generate dangerous dust.

But here’s the challenge: many of these customers don’t fully understand the risks they’re facing, or the legal obligations around dust control. They might think a simple dust mask is enough protection, or that dust is just an inevitable part of the job. As a hire company, you’re not just providing equipment – you’re providing solutions that keep workers safe and help your customers stay compliant with health and safety regulations.

The regulations around respirable crystalline silica (RCS) have made proper dust extraction mandatory, not optional. COSHH regulations require employers to prevent or adequately control exposure to hazardous substances, and silica dust is one of the most dangerous. For hire companies, this means stocking dust control equipment isn’t just about offering another service – it’s about being part of the solution to a genuine health crisis.

Over 500 construction workers die each year in the UK from silica-related diseases. Around 600,000 workers are exposed to silica dust annually. These aren’t just statistics – they’re fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters whose lives are being cut short by entirely preventable illnesses. When you hire out proper dust extraction equipment, you’re directly contributing to saving lives.

What You’ll See at Stand K64: Our Executive Hire Show Lineup

We’ve carefully selected equipment for this show that we believe represents the perfect fit for hire industry needs: durable, versatile, powerful, and designed for the kind of heavy use that hire equipment experiences. Here’s what you’ll see at Stand K64:

DC 2900: The Heavy-Duty Workhorse

If you could only stock one dust extractor in your hire fleet, the DC 2900 would be a strong contender. This is our heavy-duty mobile dust extractor, built specifically for demanding applications where standard units simply can’t cope.

The DC 2900 delivers exceptional extraction power for high-volume dust generation – think concrete grinding, heavy demolition work, or multi-tool setups where one extractor needs to service multiple operators. Its robust construction means it can handle the kind of treatment that hire equipment inevitably receives, whilst its advanced filtration system captures even the finest silica particles.

For hire companies, the DC 2900 offers that crucial balance: powerful enough for professional contractors who know exactly what they need, yet straightforward enough that even less experienced hirers can operate it safely and effectively. It’s the kind of equipment that comes back from hire jobs with satisfied customers who’ll book it again.

Dust Protection Door: The Containment Solution

Dust extraction is only half the battle. The other half is containment – keeping dust where it’s generated rather than allowing it to spread throughout a building or site. That’s where our Dust Protection Door comes in.

This clever system creates an effective barrier that contains dust within a designated work area whilst still allowing access for workers and materials. It’s perfect for renovation projects in occupied buildings, refurbishment work in commercial premises, or any situation where dust migration would cause problems.

For hire companies, the Dust Protection Door opens up opportunities with customers working in sensitive environments – hospitals, schools, offices, retail spaces – anywhere that dust contamination would be particularly problematic. It’s a hire item that solves a specific problem, and customers who need it really need it. That makes it a valuable addition to your offering.

Dustlight: See What You’re Dealing With

Here’s the problem with dust: the most dangerous particles are the ones you can’t see. Respirable dust – the fine particles that penetrate deep into your lungs and cause disease – is invisible to the naked eye. You can have dangerously high levels of airborne dust in what appears to be a relatively clean environment.

The Dustlight changes that. This innovative monitoring device provides real-time measurement of airborne dust levels, making the invisible visible. It’s not just about curiosity – it’s about compliance. COSHH regulations require adequate control of dust exposure, but how do you know if your controls are adequate? The Dustlight gives you data.

For hire companies, the Dustlight represents an opportunity to offer value-added services. Hire it alongside extraction equipment to help customers verify their dust control measures are working. Use it to differentiate your offering from competitors who simply rent out extractors without any way to measure effectiveness. It’s the kind of professional-grade equipment that appeals to serious contractors who care about compliance and worker safety.

DC AirCube 2000: Industrial Air Cleaning Power

Sometimes you need more than source extraction. Sometimes you need to clean the air in an entire space. That’s where the DC AirCube 2000 comes in.

This powerful air cleaner continuously filters ambient air, capturing airborne dust particles that escape primary extraction systems or that become suspended during work activities. It’s particularly valuable in enclosed spaces like warehouses, workshops, or industrial units where dust can accumulate and linger.

The AirCube 2000 delivers high-volume air cleaning that makes a noticeable difference in air quality. For hire customers working in dusty environments – manufacturing facilities, renovation projects, industrial maintenance – it provides that additional layer of protection. Many contractors use air cleaners in conjunction with dust extractors to create comprehensive dust control strategies that tackle particles from every angle.

New AirCube: World Premiere at Executive Hire Show

Here’s where it gets exciting: we’re unveiling brand new equipment at the Executive Hire Show that hasn’t been released anywhere else yet. The new AirCube makes its world debut at Stand K64.

We can’t reveal all the details just yet – you’ll need to visit our stand to see what we’ve been working on. What we can tell you is that the new AirCube will fill a specific gap in our air cleaning range, offering a solution that we know hire companies have been asking for.

This is your chance to be among the very first people to see this new equipment, understand its capabilities, and consider how it might fit into your hire fleet. Our team will be demonstrating the new AirCube throughout both days of the show, explaining its features and discussing potential applications. If you’re serious about staying ahead of the curve in dust control equipment, this is one you won’t want to miss.

Find Us at Packaging Innovations Birmingham

Event: Packaging Innovations 2026

Dates: 11-12 February 2026

Location: NEC Birmingham

Stand Number: U148

Our team of Dustcontrol experts will be on hand throughout both days to discuss your specific dust control and air quality challenges. Whether you’re looking to upgrade existing systems, ensure ATEX compliance, or explore new solutions for improving your production environment, we’d love to see you at Stand U148.

Why Dust Control Matters in Packaging & Food Manufacturing

In packaging and food manufacturing, dust isn’t just a housekeeping issue – it’s a quality concern, a safety hazard, and a regulatory challenge all rolled into one.

Consider the materials commonly handled in packaging facilities: powders, granules, fibres, and particulates of all kinds. Many of these materials can create explosive atmospheres when dispersed in air at the right concentration. Sugar dust, flour dust, starch, milk powder, cocoa – these everyday ingredients share something unexpected with high explosives: under the right conditions, they can detonate with devastating force.

Beyond the explosion risk, airborne particulates can contaminate products, compromise hygiene standards, and create health hazards for workers. In food-grade environments, even small amounts of dust can lead to failed audits, product recalls, and damaged reputations. In ATEX-rated zones, inadequate dust control can result in serious incidents, regulatory penalties, and shutdowns.

Effective dust control isn’t optional in modern packaging and food manufacturing – it’s fundamental to safe, compliant, and efficient operations. That’s why we’ve carefully selected equipment for Packaging Innovations that addresses the specific challenges this industry faces.

What You’ll See at Stand U148: Our Packaging Innovations Lineup

We’ve brought together equipment that represents the breadth of dust control solutions available for packaging and manufacturing environments. From ATEX-certified extractors for hazardous zones to advanced air cleaning systems for general production areas, here’s what you’ll find at Stand U148:

DC 11 Module: Flexible Central Extraction

Many packaging facilities have evolved over time, with production lines added, reconfigured, or expanded as business has grown. This can make implementing centralized dust extraction challenging – existing infrastructure might not accommodate traditional central systems, or the flexibility to adapt to future changes might be limited.

The DC 11 Module solves this problem with a modular approach to central extraction. Rather than a single massive system that must be planned years in advance, the DC 11 Module allows you to build extraction capacity as needed. Start with one module and add more as your requirements grow. Reconfigure them as your production layout changes. Scale up or down to match production volumes.

This flexibility is particularly valuable in packaging environments where production demands fluctuate seasonally or where future expansion is planned. The DC 11 Module grows with your business, providing central extraction power with the adaptability of modular design. It’s the kind of future-proof solution that makes sense for facilities planning for long-term success.

DC 1800 EX: ATEX-Certified Protection for Hazardous Zones

When working with combustible dusts in ATEX-rated zones, you can’t use standard extraction equipment. The risk of ignition from electrical components, static discharge, or mechanical sparks is too great. You need equipment specifically designed and certified for use in explosive atmospheres.

The DC 1800 EX is our ATEX-certified mobile dust extractor, engineered specifically for safe operation in Zone 22 environments where combustible dust atmospheres may occur. Every component – from the motor to the switches to the filtration system – has been designed to eliminate potential ignition sources whilst maintaining the extraction power you need.

For packaging facilities handling materials like flour, sugar, starch, or any other combustible powders, the DC 1800 EX provides compliant dust extraction without compromise. It’s mobile enough to move between workstations, powerful enough to handle demanding applications, and certified for use where standard equipment simply isn’t allowed.

ATEX compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines – it’s about preventing catastrophic incidents. The DC 1800 EX gives you peace of mind that your dust control measures are both effective and safe for hazardous environments.

Dustlight: Making the Invisible Visible

Here’s a challenge facing every packaging and food manufacturing facility: how do you know if your dust control measures are working? You can have extraction systems running, filters in place, and cleaning procedures followed, but are they actually achieving safe dust levels?

The Dustlight provides the answer. This innovative monitoring device measures airborne dust levels in real-time, giving you instant feedback on air quality. Instead of relying on visual assessment (which only shows larger particles) or waiting weeks for laboratory analysis, the Dustlight delivers immediate data you can act on.

For packaging facilities, this has multiple applications. Monitor dust levels during production to verify extraction systems are performing adequately. Identify problem areas where dust accumulates or escapes containment. Validate cleaning procedures are effective. Demonstrate compliance during audits with objective data rather than subjective observations.

The Dustlight transforms dust control from guesswork to science. You’ll see exactly what’s happening in your facility’s air, allowing you to make informed decisions about where to focus your dust control efforts and verify that your measures are truly effective.

DC AirCube 1200: Targeted Air Cleaning for Production Areas

Source extraction – capturing dust where it’s generated – is always the first priority. But in busy packaging facilities, some dust inevitably becomes airborne despite best efforts. Doors open and close, forklifts move materials, workers walk between areas, and air currents distribute fine particles throughout the space.

The DC AirCube 1200 provides a second layer of defense by continuously filtering ambient air in production areas. This compact yet powerful air cleaner captures airborne particles that escape source extraction, helping maintain overall air quality in warehouses, packaging halls, and production facilities.

For packaging environments, the AirCube 1200 is particularly valuable in areas where multiple dust-generating activities occur or where maintaining general air quality is important for product quality. Many facilities use air cleaners strategically placed throughout production areas to complement their source extraction systems, creating comprehensive dust control that tackles particles from every angle.

The New AirCube: World Premiere at Packaging Innovations

Here’s what makes Packaging Innovations 2026 particularly special: we’re unveiling brand new air cleaning technology that hasn’t been seen anywhere before. Our latest AirCube innovation makes its world debut at Stand U148.

ATEX Compliance: More Than Just Ticking Boxes

If your packaging facility handles combustible materials – and most do – you’re likely familiar with ATEX regulations. These rules exist because dust explosions are genuinely catastrophic when they occur, and preventing them requires systematic attention to every potential ignition source.

ATEX compliance involves multiple elements: proper risk assessment, zone classification, equipment certification, training, and operational controls. Dust extraction and air cleaning equipment plays a crucial role in this framework. Using non-certified equipment in hazardous zones creates ignition risks. Using inadequate equipment allows dangerous dust accumulations. Using unreliable equipment means your controls might not be there when you need them.

At Stand U148, our team can discuss ATEX requirements specific to your facility and materials. We understand the regulations, we know the equipment certifications, and we’ve helped numerous packaging and food manufacturing facilities implement compliant dust control systems. Whether you’re setting up a new production line, upgrading existing equipment, or simply want to verify your current measures are adequate, we can provide expert guidance.

ATEX compliance shouldn’t be complicated, and it shouldn’t be a source of anxiety. With the right equipment and expertise, it’s entirely manageable. That’s what we’re here to help with.
