Wet Dust Collector Systems
Uni-Wash, A Scrub Above...
Wet Dust Collection Without the Maintenance Headaches
The patented Uni-Wash wet dust collector has been providing reliable industrial air pollution control for more than 50 years. Unlike conventional wet collectors that rely on pumps, spray nozzles, and submerged venturi designs, the Uni-Wash utilizes a patented above-water impingement scrub technology that delivers exceptional dust collection performance while minimizing maintenance requirements.
The result is a mechanically simple, energy-efficient wet dust collector that resists clogging, maintains consistent airflow, and provides long-term reliability in demanding industrial applications.
Patented Above-Water Scrub Technology
At the heart of every Uni-Wash is a patented scrub cone and target plate assembly that performs scrubbing above the water line. Using the energy of the primary fan—not recirculation pumps or spray systems—the Uni-Wash creates a highly effective five-stage scrubbing process that captures wettable, sinkable, and soluble dust particles while maintaining low operating resistance.
- No recirculation pumps to fail
- No spray nozzles to clog
- No submerged venturi throat to foul
- No complicated internal components
Just proven, dependable wet dust collection engineered for continuous industrial operation.
Built for Industrial Applications
ProVent wet dust collectors are designed for applications that require safe, effective control of dust, sparks, and difficult-to-filter particulate. From combustible metal dust and grinding operations to food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and high-spark industrial processes, Uni-Wash systems provide dependable performance where traditional dry collectors may not be the best solution.
From centralized ducted wet dust collection systems to wet downdraft benches and wet booth systems, ProVent delivers engineered solutions built for demanding manufacturing environments.
Combustible Dust Expertise You Can Trust
ProVent doesn't simply design and build wet dust collectors - we help shape the standards that govern combustible dust safety. A ProVent representative serves on the NFPA 660 Technical Committee, providing direct insight into the latest combustible dust requirements and best practices. This involvement helps ensure our systems are engineered for practical, real-world compliance and long-term operational safety.

Ducted Wet Dust Collector
Ducted wet dust collectors are designed to connect multiple dust-generating processes throughout a facility. These wet dust collection systems provide centralized source capture for grinding, polishing, machining, sanding, and metalworking applications.
Highlights / Key Attributes
Centralized dust collection system design
Connect multiple dust-generating processes to a single wet dust collection system.
Supports multiple pickup points
Capture dust from machines, workstations, and process equipment throughout your facility.
Ideal for aluminum dust collection systems
Designed for applications involving aluminum dust and other combustible metal particulates.
Suitable for titanium and combustible metal dust
Designed for applications involving aluminum dust and other combustible metal particulates.
Custom engineered airflow configurations
System designs are tailored to your facility layout, process requirements, and airflow demands.
Available for large industrial facilities
Scalable solutions support everything from individual departments to plant-wide dust collection.
Wet Booth Systems
Wet booth systems provide containment for wet dust collection applications involving larger parts requiring an enclosed work area. By containing dust, sparks, and contaminants within the booth, these systems help maintain a safer, cleaner manufacturing environment. Wet booth systems are commonly used for grinding, sanding, polishing, deburring, and other metal finishing operations.
Highlights / Key Attributes
Contained dust collection environment
Contains dust at the source to help maintain a cleaner work area.
Excellent for grinding and finishing operations
Designed for processes that generate high volumes of dust and particulate.
Reduces airborne dust migration
Helps prevent dust from spreading into surrounding production areas.
Supports combustible dust collection applications
Wet filtration helps manage dust generated from combustible metal and spark-producing processes.
Custom booth sizes available
Configurations can be tailored to match specific production and workflow requirements.
True Laminar Airflow - no "regain"
At ProVent, we believe the safest and most effective booth designs begin with true laminar airflow. Our wet booth systems produce a smooth, consistent airflow pattern that carries dust, sparks, and contaminants directly toward the wet dust collector, maximizing collection efficiency while helping keep the operator's breathing zone cleaner.
Wet Downdraft Benches
Wet downdraft benches provide point-of-source dust collection by drawing contaminated air downward through a water filtration chamber. This design helps capture dust, sparks, and particulate directly at the workstation, improving operator protection and workplace cleanliness. Wet downdraft benches are commonly used for grinding, sanding, deburring, polishing, and metal finishing applications involving combustible or spark-producing dust.
Highlights / Key Attributes
Captures dust directly at the workstation
Pulls dust away from the operator before it can enter the breathing zone.
Ideal for grinding, deburring, and polishing
Designed for hands-on manufacturing and metalworking operations.
Wet filtration for combustible metal dust
Uses water-based filtration to help manage reactive metal dust applications.
Compact and self-contained design
Provides effective dust collection without requiring extensive facility ductwork.
Improves operator visibility and comfort
Removes airborne dust from the work area for a cleaner workspace.
Supports aluminum and titanium applications
Suitable for processes generating combustible metal dust and fine particulate.
Economy Wet Collectors
Economy wet collectors provide reliable wet dust collection in a compact, cost-effective package for smaller manufacturing operations and dedicated workstations. These systems utilize water-based filtration to capture dust and particulate at the source while requiring minimal floor space. Economy wet collectors are ideal for facilities seeking dependable dust control without the footprint or investment of larger centralized systems.
Highlights / Key Attributes
Compact footprint for smaller work areas
Designed to fit easily into production environments with limited available space.
Cost-effective wet dust collection solution
Provides dependable dust control while helping reduce overall system costs.
Simple installation and operation
Self-contained designs allow for quick setup and straightforward maintenance.
Effective for light-to-medium dust loads
Ideal for individual workstations and lower-volume dust-generating processes.
Wet filtration for spark-producing applications
Water-based filtration helps manage dust generated during metalworking operations.
Built for industrial environments
Durable construction is designed to withstand daily manufacturing use.
