Design your dust collection system

Rough out airflow, duct sizing and collector requirements in about ten minutes — using the same ACGIH Velocity Pressure Method our engineers use. Free, and the draft is yours.

Have these handy

01What the dust is — wood, metal, plastic, mixed…

02Machine count and hood/pickup points

03Rough duct run lengths and elbows

04Where the collector could live

05Whether your dust burns (we’ll flag NFPA)

Answer the guided questions below and the designer builds a draft system spec — airflow by hood, duct velocities, and collector sizing, with combustible-dust flags where they belong. Every result is a starting point, not a stamp: final designs are reviewed by ACT Group engineering, because a calculator can’t walk your plant and this tool does not replace a certified Dust Hazard Analysis. Your basic report is free and instant. Want the full engineering report? Request it at the end and an ACT engineer reviews your design and sends it, or tells you honestly that your situation needs eyes on site first.

Design Your Dust Collection System Online

Our free dust collection system designer helps you rough out a dust and fume collection system in minutes. The tool uses the ACGIH Velocity Pressure Method to estimate airflow, duct sizing, and collector requirements. It even flags combustible-dust (NFPA) considerations as you go.

Keep in mind that every result is a draft starting point. A final design must be reviewed by ACT Group engineering, because the tool does not replace a certified Dust Hazard Analysis. When you are ready, our team will turn your draft into a fully engineered dust collection and industrial ventilation system. Contact us for a free consultation, or call us toll free at (888) 480-0680.

If your dust burns, read this before you build anything.

The draft is free. The engineering is the part we do in person.

Send us your draft — or skip the tool entirely and tell us the plant, the dust and the problem. Either way you’ll get a real person, and a system designed by people who will also build, install and service it.
