Dust & Fume Extraction System | Installation

We recommend having your LEV system tested at least every 14 months to make sure that your system is functioning as it should. When you choose us, we won’t tie you into a lengthy contract. If you like us, you will hopefully return. With a 30-day account, if you pay within 30 days, we will fix the price for next year’s test. So you won’t face any hidden costs or nasty surprises next year.

HSE defines LEV Testing as a thorough examination to make sure that the LEV can continue to perform as intended by design and will contribute to the adequate control of exposure.

We follow a systematic procedure when performing LEV Tests and will:

• Check your filters to see what condition they are in.
• Measure the rotational speed of the motor with a tachometer.
• Take velocity pressure and static pressure of all test points on the system and face velocities at open hoods.
• Record the pressure drops across the filters.
• Measure ambient dust level.
• Measure contaminant in the returned air to the workshop.
• Measure the decibel readings between 2-3 meters of each machine.
• Measure the dust level reading in the breathing zone of employees.
• Carry out a smoke test.
• Complete a face velocity test.
• Provide you with a LEV report that complies with the legal requirements.

Following your LEV test, we can assist in the design, alteration and improvement of all LEV systems if needed. Any required or possible improvements will be listed in order of priority, under Report Findings & Prioritised Action Plan.

If improvements are required, whether Essential or Recommended, we will supply a FREE quotation for bringing the system back up to its original performance. Any improvements will be carried out to the highest standard by our skilled and experienced engineers.
