[Anderson, Gretchen]

Dear Colleagues,

I am sending this inquiry at the request of one of the curators at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  He is looking for a localized dust collector that can help control dust in the lab. Fine dust is generated from shaking leaf litter through screens. This is a hand process and the overall volume of particulates is relatively low, however there is a large volume of air that will be processed.  He would like to keep the noise levels down if possible.

Our head of facilities has recommended a Powermatic 1792072K PM1900TX-CK1 Dust Collector, 3HP 1PH 230V, 2-Micron Canister Kit.  We are currently using this unit in our paleontology prep area where a lot more dust is generated. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?

Please feel free to answer off - list.
