Dust Control and LEV Services for Recycling Facilities
Professional testing and certification of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems to help recycling facilities meet HSE requirements and control hazardous dust and fumes.
Dust and Fume Control for Recycling Plants
LEV Testing for Recycling Facilities
Recycling plants and material recovery facilities (MRFs) rely on effective Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) to control airborne dust, fumes, and combustible particles generated during processing and sorting.
We provide professional LEV testing, servicing, and ongoing support for recycling facilities nationwide, helping you stay compliant, reduce risk, and maintain safe, efficient operations.
Supporting Safe and Compliant Recycling Operations
Why Do Recycling Facilities Need LEV?
Recycling environments generate high levels of airborne contaminants from continuous mechanical processing. Without properly tested and maintained LEV systems, these can present serious health, fire, and explosion risks.
Material sorting and picking stations
- Control of airborne dust from paper, plastics, and mixed waste
- Improved air quality for operatives working on picking lines
Shredders, balers, and crushers
- Extraction of dust and fumes generated during size reduction
- Reduced risk of dust accumulation around machinery
Conveyors and transfer points
- Dust control in high-movement areas
- Prevention of airborne spread across the facility
Combustible dust control
- Reduction of fire and explosion risks associated with fine particulate dust
- Support for COSHH compliance and HSE expectations
Regular LEV testing ensures systems are performing as intended and remain compliant with COSHH and HSE HSG258 requirements, protecting both people and plant.

Supporting Air Systems Beyond Testing
Support with Impact Air Systems
We work closely with our sister company, Impact Air Systems, specialists in the design and manufacture of industrial dust extraction and air separation equipment.
This allows us to provide a joint service for recycling facilities, covering everything from LEV testing and compliance through to the servicing and maintenance of extraction equipment under a single, coordinated approach.
We also test, service, and maintain LEV and dust extraction systems from other manufacturers, delivering the same independent, HSE-compliant service regardless of who supplied the original equipment.
This gives you flexibility, continuity, and a single point of contact, without being tied to a single supplier.
