Screenprinting is certainly a far cry from the fumes of welding shops of course, but still, we're thinking about maybe picking up an air filtration/ambient air cleaner system to help mitigate the fumes and dust around the dryer mainly. Has anyone bothered with these kind of units before?

Fumes, our Adelco dryer has a exhaust and we have no problem with fumes, dust heat and it stands in the middle of the shop.

I built a downdraft table that has two 24"x24" furnace filters in it, a commercial floor dryer in there to move air, and it works pretty good to keep some dust out of the air, as we put it right under the load/ unload stations of the press.

Good idea, I'd like to minimize lint buildup all over the shop. Back in the days of spray tack & manual press, I used a low-pro version - box fan point down w/ filter attached. It helped keep tack from misting everywhere & kept lint more localized.
@canucklehead: What inks are you using? Plastisol only? WB? Discharge? Are you talking about "scrubbing" air & recirculating in shop, or exhausting outside?
