Why Is Industrial Air Duct Cleaning Important? Its Impact on LEV Performance
In most industrial environments, airborne contaminants are an accepted part of the process. Dust, fumes, and particulates are generated daily, and LEV systems are relied upon to control them at source. Over time, a proportion of this material can settle within the...
LEV Testing in Woodworking: What Affects Dust Control Over Time
Woodworking generates a consistent level of airborne dust. While some of the particles settle in quickly, a finer fraction remains suspended and are more likely to be inhaled by workers. This is where exposure tends to occur, often without it being visible. Local...
How Smart Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems Improve Airflow Management
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems are often installed correctly. Keeping them effective over time is where the real challenge lies. At Vent-Tech, we often see how many facilities assume that once airflow rates meet the original design specification, the system...
Why Vent-Tech Charges for LEV Design
Independent engineering, not product pricing Occasionally, when we speak to a potential new client for the first time, we are asked to justify charging for our designs when ‘xxxx will come in and quote for free’. At Vent-Tech, we charge for our LEV design service...
5 Reasons Your Auto Workshops Need an Exhaust Extraction System
Did you know? Controlling vehicle exhaust exposure in an auto workshop is not optional. It is a legal and health imperative. Diesel engine exhaust emissions contain known carcinogenic substances. Long-term repeated exposure to diesel fumes over a period of around 20...
Do You Need a Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) Certificate?
If you’re using an LEV system to control substances that are hazardous to health, you’re legally required to show proof of examination. This proof comes in the form of a valid LEV Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) certificate and report. New to LEV testing or need...
Preparing Your LEV System for 2026: Compliance updates
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems are often installed with good intentions. However, keeping them effective over time is where the real challenge lies. Now we’re in 2026, there is a lot of conversation happening around workplace safety and making environments...
How to Maintain Your Local Exhaust Ventilation System for Optimal Performance
Did you know? A good Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system is much more than your average plant room equipment. It is a first-line defence against airborne contaminants that might otherwise damage people, processes, and compliance. A well-maintained LEV system...
