Tornado Downdraft Workbenches
Tornado (Open Top/Enclosed Top, Sit-Down/Stand-Up)



Description:

The Media Blast Tornado is a down draft work bench designed for controlling dusty jobs involving grinding, sanding, and deburring. The units are totally self-contained, eliminating costly installation fees. No special electrical or ductwork is required. Media Blast Pollution Control Benches are portable and cost effective. Designed to create up to 500 feet per minute down draft tabletop velocity, the Tornado creates an even flow over the entire top work surface of the bench. Exhaust silencers are included to eliminate noise and permit room/air discharge, eliminating costly air temperature loss.

Standard units are available with combinations of single and three phase electrical. All units include flourescent lighting; open or semi-enclosed top assembly, fiberglass bar grates, cartridge filtration and dust removal pan assembly. Clean up problem areas while you protect the operator's environment, install a Media Blast Tornado today! Available in sit-down or stand-up models.

HEPA after filtration is also available as an option to fulfill needs caused by unusual applications.
