What does compliance actually require?

OSHA enforces air quality and housekeeping standards. NFPA 660 (effective Jan 1, 2026) consolidates combustible dust requirements into one code. Here’s what your shop needs.

OSHA citations we see most

• Dust layers thicker than 1/32″
• No explosion protection on combustible dust
• Workers exposed above PELs
• No documentation of hazards or training

Get the Checklist

What changed under NFPA 660

• One consolidated standard (was 5 codes)
• Dust hazard analysis (DHA) now mandatory
• Deflagration protection by KSt class
• Specific housekeeping schedules

KSt Values Explained

Explosion protection options

• Deflagration venting (cheapest)
• Flameless venting (indoor-safe)
• Chemical suppression
• Isolation valves

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear every week

How much does an industrial dust collection system cost?

Turn-key industrial dust collection systems run from $8,000 (single portable for a small shop) to $500,000+ (large central system with full explosion protection). Most small-to-medium shops land in the $60,000–$250,000 range for a central cartridge or baghouse collector with ducting. Your exact number comes after your free on-site assessment. Full breakdown

What is NFPA 660 and how is it different from NFPA 652?

NFPA 660 (effective January 1, 2026) consolidates the previous combustible dust standards (652, 654, 664, 484, 61) into one unified code. Dust hazard analysis (DHA) is now mandatory, deflagration protection rules are clearer and based on KSt, and housekeeping schedules are explicit. Get the checklist

Baghouse vs. cartridge collector — which do I need?

Cartridge collectors are right for most applications — smaller footprint, easier filter changes, better for fine dust. Baghouse collectors are right for woodworking and battery manufacturing — they handle larger particles and high-volume loads better. For combustible grinding (aluminum, magnesium, titanium), wet collectors are the safer choice. For wet machining of those same alloys — common on CNC and aerospace 5-axis platforms — the airstream is coolant mist rather than dry dust, so the right equipment is CNC oil mist collectors instead. Read the comparison

How do I know if my dust is combustible?

If you process wood, metal, plastic, food powder, pharmaceuticals, or any organic material, your dust is almost certainly combustible. The KSt value tells you how severe an explosion would be: wood is typically 100–200 (weak), flour is 200–300 (strong), aluminum is 400+ (very strong). Lab testing of a dust sample gives you the exact KSt and Pmax. KSt values database

How long does installation take?

Quick-ship portable units arrive in about a week and you can plug them in the same day. Full central systems run 8–10 weeks from signed proposal to commissioned and tested. Most shops stay fully operational during install.

What does the pass-or-free guarantee cover?

If we engineer and install your industrial dust collection system, and it fails an OSHA or NFPA 660 inspection on something within our scope, we fix it at our cost. That includes capture velocities, ductwork sizing, explosion protection, filter selection, and commissioning documentation. Full guarantee details
