Downdraft Table Case Studies

Air Canada, Canada's national carrier based in Montreal, asked Diversitech to find a solution to their dust problem in the landing gear maintenance area.

Diversitech installed four 2'x 4' downdraft tables with extended front overhangs (EO) so that operators could be comfortably seated at the table. Two 3'x6' and two 3'x8' tables were also installed.

Bombardier's Learjet repair and rework facility, located in Tuscon, Arizona, approached Diversitech for a dust control solution in their composite sanding area.

General Electric's Macallen facility overhauls Aviation engines. Some of the operations require welding, grinding, and deburring of parts. To ensure the workers well being, GE set forth requirements of a custom downdraft table.

Diversitech installed nine (9) Mini Downdraft Tables with special side trays. These tables offer a "Hands Free Capture at Source" of smoke and dust before they reach the student's breathing zone.

Diversitech offers many solutions for safe removal of welding fume and smoke. In the case of Lincoln Tech, we have supplied over one-hundred (100) Downdraft Tables to various locations, with table dimensions & configurations designed to meet each instructors/schools particular needs.
