Project scenario
A Texas countertop shop with engineered stone work expands its silica controls beyond wet methods.
Dust challenge
Residual fines from wet cutting, dry polish stations, and dust accumulation around the saw line.
Site constraint
Active production schedule, multiple stations, shop-wide cleanup must run during shift changes.
Why a HEPA vacuum was selected
HEPA vacuuming addresses the residual silica that wet methods alone miss.
Suggested vacuum setup
Dirt Eater wet/dry HEPA vacuum on a shop-wide cleanup schedule, dedicated operator at shift change.
Practical workflow
Stations cleaned in rotation at every shift change, end-of-day full floor pass, filter inspection logged.
Safety & compliance note: Engineered stone work requires respirators and a written exposure control plan regardless of engineering controls.
