🧐"Don't treat LEV testing as a 'box ticking exercise'...."

ELLESMERE PORT, UK. June 4, 2026 - Manufacturing and industrial businesses are being warned not to treat Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) testing as a

LEV testing is a legal requirement in the UK.

Understanding how to comply with LEV testing regulations is critical for any employer operating in an environment where potentially harmful substances are generated.

⚠️ Is your dust extraction system designed with explosion risk in mind?

Many industrial dusts are combustible – and in a poorly designed or inadequately maintained filtration system, all it takes is a spark, a static build-up, or a blockage to trigger a serious incident. Primary explosions can set off secondary explosions through connected ductwork that are far more destructive than the first.

The risks are well understood, and the right system design can manage them effectively. But explosion protection measures need to be built in from the start, not added as an afterthought.

If your system has been modified, extended, or is handling different materials than it was originally specified for, it's worth getting it reviewed by specialists.

At Pennaire Filtration, our engineers can assess existing installations and design new systems that comply with ATEX regulations and DSEAR requirements.

The HEPA element can be single stage or multi-staged design so that the correct collection efficiency at each stage is achieved. The materials of construction range from aluminium through to mild steel and stainless steel. They can also be supplied with a safe change option which reduces operator exposure when the HEPA elements are being replaced.

⚙️ Do you know the difference between a nuisance dust collector and a product collector?
They might sound similar, but they serve very different purposes, and specifying the wrong one for your process can be a costly mistake.
A nuisance dust collector removes unwanted airborne dust to protect people and the environment. A product collector recovers valuable material directly from the process, handling higher pressures, greater solids loadings, and far more demanding design requirements.
Our latest article breaks down the key differences and explains what to consider when specifying a product collection system https://www.pennairefiltration.com/product-collector-or-nuisance-dust-collector-whats-the-difference-and-why-does-it-matter/

Dust is an unavoidable challenge in food processing, especially when working with ingredients like flour, sugar and chocolate.
But without the right filtration systems in place, fine dust can:
✔️ Affect product quality
✔️ Put workers’ health at risk
✔️ Reduce equipment performance
✔️ Cause compliance issues
✔️ Lead to bacteria growth if left to build up
In our latest web article, we explore why food industry dust is so complex, and how tailored filtration solutions can help create cleaner, safer and more efficient production environments.
If you’re looking to improve dust control in your facility, or even collect dust to repurpose into another product, we can help.

⚠️ Don't wait for a breakdown to think about spare parts.
A failed valve or worn filter bag might seem like a small problem, but in an industrial setting, the knock-on effect can mean reduced extraction performance, compliance issues, or a full production shutdown while parts are tracked down.
Pennaire Filtration stocks a wide range of spares for all makes and models of dust extraction and air filtration equipment, including:
✅ Filter bags & cartridges ✅ Pulse valves & solenoid valves ✅ Bag retainers, cages & inserts ✅ Filter timers & control components ✅ Compressed air manifolds & header tanks

Dust, fumes, mist, vapours and gases – all of them byproducts of everyday industrial or manufacturing processes – can pose serious risks to workplace safety, employee health, as well as the local environment.
