Simple, Effective Dust Control for Cleaner, Safer Operations
Manage dust at its source with O’Mara Dust Hoods. Built for seed handling, grain processing, and other bulk material operations, our dust hoods capture airborne dust before it spreads, protecting workers, equipment, and product quality. With flexible mounting, broad size ranges, and custom spouting adapters, O’Mara dust hoods fit almost any machine or process.
Strong enough for industrial use, yet precise enough for seed-safe applications, our dust hoods make clean operation easy.
A dust hood is the front-line capture point of a dust collection system. It pulls dust away from the work area and into ducting, where it moves safely to a collector. In seed processing, it is the key to clean air, safe workers, and reliable equipment.
O’Mara dust hoods are designed to deliver strong capture efficiency at the lowest airflow possible, saving energy while keeping your facility clean and compliant.
O’Mara dust hoods sit where dust is made—at bucket elevator legs, conveyor belt transfer points, gravity tables, cleaners, bagging lines, and loadout stations. By capturing dust right at the source, they prevent buildup, reduce cleanup, and protect the rest of the facility.
Each hood is shaped to pull dust into the collector without pulling product. Proper geometry keeps airflow smooth, stable, and efficient.
Removing dust from the air improves visibility, lowers explosion risk, and protects workers from breathable seed dust.
O’Mara dust hoods bolt, clamp, hang, or weld into place. They can be retrofitted onto existing machinery or designed into new systems.
This simple, reliable approach keeps dust out of the air and off your equipment day after day.
Built as partial or full enclosures around screens, cleaners, or transfer points. These hoods trap dust inside the space and deliver the highest capture efficiency.
Used at open points like grain dump pits, hoppers, and loadout areas. They “receive” dust as it becomes airborne, pulling it into the duct system.
Permanent hoods designed for high-volume dust points: seed cleaner intakes, conveyor discharge points, and elevator transitions.
A single hood that moves from bin to bin in multi-ingredient systems. Ideal where flexibility and space savings matter.
Mounted on bins or silos to release pressure during filling without releasing dust. Key for explosion prevention.
Every seed processing facility is different. O’Mara designs custom hoods to match unique equipment, layouts, and airflow demands, delivering the best capture with minimal energy use.
Each hood is engineered to give you high performance with low maintenance.
Seed dust is a health hazard and a visibility problem. Our hoods capture dust before workers breathe it or before it settles on equipment.
Seed and grain dust are combustible. Proper dust capture is a critical part of NFPA and OSHA safety compliance.
Dust buildup shortens equipment life and causes downtime. Our hoods help keep machinery clean and running longer.
Cleaner environments reduce cross-contamination when processing different seed varieties.
Well-designed hoods require less airflow, lowering horsepower needs for fans and collectors.
We build dust hoods for seed cleaners, conveyors, dump pits, bagging lines, gravity separators, and more.
