LEV System Design for Dust, Fume and Airborne Contaminant Control
Pro Vent LEV designs Local Exhaust Ventilation systems for workplaces that need effective control of dust, fumes, vapours and airborne contaminants.
We support workshops, factories and industrial sites across the North East, North of England and wider UK with practical LEV designs built around the process, the people using the system and the layout of the site.

Bespoke LEV design for real working environments
A good LEV system is not simply a fan and ducting. It needs to capture the contaminant at source, move it safely through the system and remain practical for operators to use every day.
We review the work activity, contaminant type, exposure points, equipment layout, access requirements, airflow needs and future maintenance before recommending a design.
Design support for dust and fume extraction
Our LEV design work can support dust extraction, fume extraction, welding fume extraction, wood dust extraction, spray booth extraction, vehicle exhaust extraction and laboratory extraction.
We can help with new systems, extensions, upgrades and redesigns where existing extraction is no longer suitable.
From site survey to practical specification
We start by understanding the process and the problem the system needs to solve.
From there, we can advise on capture points, hoods, arms, ducting routes, fans, filtration and access for future testing and maintenance.
The aim is to create a system that is effective, usable and maintainable.
Designed with compliance and performance in mind
LEV systems should help businesses control exposure to hazardous substances and demonstrate that suitable control measures are in place.
Pro Vent LEV designs systems with COSHH duties and HSG258 principles in mind, helping businesses avoid poor capture, under-sized airflow, awkward operator use and avoidable remedial work later.
When to review your LEV design
You may need design support if you are opening a new workshop, adding machinery, changing a process, expanding production, replacing a failed system or repeatedly seeing poor airflow and failed LEV test results.
A design review can identify whether the issue is maintenance-related, repairable or best solved through redesign.
