We've been eager to connect with our lead installer, Ryan Jackman, for some time. We finally had the chance to sit down and discuss the crucial considerations for a successful dust collection installation. Many customers are unsure about the specifics, such as the required size of the concrete pad or whether the installation area is sufficiently clear of obstructions for crane access. Donovan poses these questions to Ryan to provide valuable insights to our customers for their first dust collector or baghouse installation.
Give us a call if you have any questions on your dust collection install.
