Professional Dust Control Systems for Construction & Surface Preparation
PWM Sales supplies complete dust control systems designed for grinding, cutting, chasing and surface preparation applications. Our range supports contractors working with concrete, mortar, plaster and wood by reducing airborne dust and improving on-site compliance with UK health and safety guidance. From high-efficiency industrial vacuum units and cyclone pre-separators to on-tool cowls, filtration components and continuous bagging systems, every product is selected for performance in real site conditions. With over 30 years of practical industry experience, we provide durable, compliant dust management solutions built for demanding environments.
How a Complete Dust Control System Works
Effective dust control is achieved through correct system configuration rather than a single machine.
A professional setup typically includes:
- On-tool dust guard or cowl – captures dust at source
- High-efficiency vacuum unit – maintains stable airflow
- Cyclone pre-separator – removes heavy debris before filtration
- Correct hose diameter & airflow balance – prevents transport loss
- Approved filtration class (M or H) – ensures compliance
When configured correctly, airborne dust is significantly reduced, filter loading decreases and equipment life is extended.

Silica Dust & Compliance
Many construction materials contain silica. When cut or ground, this produces respirable crystalline silica (RCS), a hazardous airborne dust.
Employers must implement appropriate dust control measures under UK regulations. Selecting the correct filtration class and maintaining equipment condition are essential for compliance.

Dust Control FAQs
What is M-Class filtration?
M-Class systems are designed to capture 99.9% of hazardous dust including silica, mortar and wood dust.
Do I need M-Class or H-Class?
M-Class is suitable for most construction dust. H-Class is required for asbestos and highly carcinogenic materials.
Can I use a household vacuum?
No. Standard vacuums are not designed for fine, abrasive or hazardous dust.
How does dust extraction work?
Dust-laden air is drawn into a sealed system where staged filtration captures particles before clean air is released.
