E-Z Drill offers an easy-to-use Dust Collection System that will make sure concrete drilling operations are in compliance with air quality standards. The Dust Collection System is powered by the same air compressor as the drill and can be used in conjunction with any drill model. The system includes a dust boot that mounts to the end of the bit guide, where the bit penetrates the concrete. The vacuum system gathers the dust directly from the drilled holes and stores it in a collection bag. A valve on the system allows users to reverse the airflow periodically to clean the filters.
The system reduces operators’ exposure to dust released into the air during concrete drilling. It also prevents dust from blowing toward nearby traffic or into water during bridge repairs. The system also extends the life of E-Z drill units by removing dust that can stick to lubricants or wear nuts and bolts.
