High-Performance Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) for Dust & Fume

Yes, our LEV consultants are experts in hazard control and can help assess your site requirements, propose the right extraction hood, fan, filter, and duct configuration, to provide a fully compliant solution.

Yes, we have high-pressure fans that can be used as part of the LEV system, that sit outside the work area and operate with narrow and long lengths of ducting runs, making them suitable for confined work areas that are based a long way from the atmosphere.

Yes — for example, for dust we have DUSTEX® DustMaster® Pro and for fumes we have RAVEX® Wandafilta Plus - Extraction & Filtration Kit.

Yes, we offer temporary hire of LEV solutions, which makes them ideal for shutdowns, maintenance, welding, or cutting tasks. Our team will help design and set up the system for your specific project needs.

Particulate filters capture coarse and medium dust particles from processes such as cement handling and wood cutting, while also providing partial removal of finer particulate matter.

Fine filters improve visible dust removal and are commonly used for low-toxicity dusts or as a protective pre-filter stage for high-efficiency filtration systems, including HEPA filters.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are among the highest efficiency particulate filters commonly used in industrial applications. They are designed to remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns, making them highly effective for capturing welding fume particulates, smoke, fine dust and airborne bioaerosols, including those that may carry viruses such as COVID-19. HEPA filters target particulate matter only and do not remove gases or vapours, which may require additional filtration methods.

Note: Particulate filters cannot remove gases. Gas control requires filters containing activated carbon or similar media, which trap gas molecules on their surface as air passes through.

Our standard LEV setup includes a capture hood, ducting, a fan, a filter, and a discharge point.

Our LEV systems are designed to extract a variety of hazardous airborne contaminants including welding fumes, solvent vapours, gases, mists, and fine or heavy dust.

We provide a full suite of LEV solutions for fume, dust, mist, gas, and vapour extraction. Our range includes portable fume extractors, duct‑mounted filtration units, and large multi‑spigot LEV systems, tailored to the needs of construction, industrial maintenance, and confined‑space work.

Yes, we can supply an LEV kit which will come with a TExT certificate. The certificate demonstrates that the kit was supplied in good operational condition, but it is the customers responsibility to check that the system is properly installed and working as intended.

Yes, our Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems undergo Thorough Examination and Testing before leaving our warehouse, so you can rest assured that it’s compliant and in peak working condition when it reaches you. Our LEV testing is carried out by qualified LEV engineers who hold BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society) certifications (e.g. P600, P601, P604).

A Local Exhaust Ventilation system is designed to extract contaminants like dust, fumes, mists, fibres, gases and vapours at the source. LEV hire systems are subject to a Thorough Examination & Test every 14 months, providing evidence that the equipment is in top condition for use on site. The use of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) equipment on site helps ensure teams comply with Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations and relevant Safe Work Australia guidance.
