Proudly based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Dust Control Environmental Ltd (DCE) is a leading independent manufacturer and supplier of dust & fume extraction systems. From initial design and manufacture through to installation and comprehensive aftermarket support – including LEV testing, parts and maintenance, DCE delivers a complete, end-to-end solution for its customers.
Within woodworking environments there are several critical factors to consider before an LEV system design is proposed. These include the type of wood waste, ATEX requirements, filter unit positioning, waste disposal methods, and integration with existing machinery.
DCE approaches every project individually, with experienced team members conducting on-site assessments to ensure each system is safe, compliant, and tailored to the specific application.
Turning wood waste into a useful resource
Sustainability, environmental responsibility, and cost-effective operations are key priorities for modern businesses. In response to this demand, DCE has developed a range of solutions to help organisations manage wood waste more efficiently and responsibly. A prime example of innovative, energyefficient design is the DCE Envirojet W series. Ideal for woodworking applications, it is capable of managing both fine and fibrous dust, as well as shavings. The system incorporates a cascading fan, coupled with E-performance monitoring, offering the potential for up to 50% reduction in energy consumption.
Additional options for managing wood waste include shredding equipment and briquetting systems, which help reduce waste volume and support more sustainable disposal or reuse.
Supporting compliance
Maintaining compliance with dust extraction testing and maintenance is not only essential for optimal performance — it is also a legal requirement. DCE’s experienced aftermarket team provides a full range of services to ensure LEV systems remain compliant and efficient.
These services include LEV testing carried out by P601-certified engineers, detailed reporting with remedial action recommendations where necessary, and tailored maintenance and service plans that provide ongoing support.
