DENA 26 CY Cyclone Dust Extractor

McCarthy Environmental Ltd provides comprehensive LEV testing services to help businesses maintain safe, compliant, and efficient working environments. Our experienced engineers carry out thorough Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) examinations and testing (TExT) in accordance with COSHH Regulation 9 and HSE guidance HSG258, ensuring extraction systems continue to effectively control hazardous airborne contaminants and protect employee health.

Regular LEV testing is a legal requirement for employers using extraction systems to control dust, fumes, vapours, mists, and other airborne contaminants. Over time, LEV systems can experience reduced performance due to wear and tear, filter blockages, damaged ductwork, airflow imbalances, or changes in the working environment. Our testing service is designed to identify these issues before they become a risk to workforce safety, productivity, or compliance.

Our fully qualified LEV test engineers are trained to the latest BOHS P601 standards, as required by HSE, allowing us to test and inspect all types of LEV systems across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, fabrication, woodworking, automotive, education, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processing facilities.

During the testing process, our engineers carry out a complete examination of the LEV system, including airflow measurements, static pressure readings, hood face velocity checks, filter condition assessments, fan inspections, and system performance evaluations. We assess whether the system is effectively capturing and controlling airborne contaminants at source and verify that it continues to operate in line with its original design specifications and current workplace requirements.

Following completion of the examination, clients receive a detailed LEV test report outlining system performance results, any defects or areas of concern identified, and recommendations for remedial actions or improvements where required. These reports provide essential documentation to demonstrate compliance with COSHH regulations and support health and safety audits or inspections.

In addition to statutory LEV testing, we also provide system troubleshooting, airflow balancing, commissioning verification, and ongoing maintenance support to help maximise system efficiency and lifespan. Our team works closely with clients to minimise operational disruption while ensuring extraction systems remain fully functional and compliant.

At McCarthy Environmental Ltd, we understand the importance of maintaining effective LEV systems to protect both employees and business operations. With nationwide coverage, experienced BOHS-qualified engineers, and extensive industry knowledge, we deliver reliable and professional LEV testing services tailored to the specific needs of each customer and working environment.

The Airbench VertEx cross-draught extraction series consists of modular wall units, starting with a single 1200×600 module that can be expanded to create walk-in dust and fume extraction booths of any size. Suitable for sanding, grinding, and fume applications, these modules can serve as the foundation for a full extraction booth. When combined with VP or VertEx VA units, the modular booth becomes a complete dust extraction system, featuring high-efficiency EC fans and a pressure gauge.

The McCarthy Environmental Centre of Excellence, located at our Swan Valley headquarters, is unique in the region and provides a variety of LEV (local exhaust ventilation) and Occupational Hygiene courses.
