The “Invisible Health Risk” Beneath Construction Dust

On renovation, demolition, or drywall job sites, dust is far more than an annoying mess—it slows projects down, threatens equipment, quietly harms workers’ health, and eats into the project budget.

As fall and winter arrive, North America enters peak season for remodeling and restoration. Old home renovations, store build-outs, and post-disaster repairs all ramp up at the same time. In enclosed spaces, wall sanding, floor cutting, gypsum dust and VOCs build up in the air, putting both worker health and final inspections at risk.

  • Heavy dust load with fine particles — common units clog quickly, airflow drops, and filters plug up in no time.
  • Harsh jobsite conditions — equipment is moved constantly, exposed to drops, bumps, moisture and rough handling.
  • Need for continuous operation — many projects require equipment to run 24/7, and any downtime means schedule delays and extra cost.

Regular air purifiers aren’t built to withstand this level of dust for long. Filters clog, motors overheat and fail, and purification performance crashes—pushing projects into a vicious cycle of “constant replacement – missed deadlines – blown budgets.” In these extreme conditions, contractors need equipment that is truly built to handle the dust.

AlorAir’s Solution: Built for High-Dust Job Sites

HEPA Air Scrubbers

AlorAir HEPA Air Scrubbers are built for professional restoration and commercial use, and have become popular equipment on North American construction sites, in woodworking shops, and for disaster restoration professionals.

From the AlorAir CleanShield HEPA 550 to the HEPA 970, AlorAir offers a full range of air scrubbers built for projects of every size. With airflow capacities from 500–750 CFM, these units are optimized for spaces of approximately 800–1,000 sq. ft. This makes them ideal for large commercial and industrial environments—such as warehouses, garages, schools, hospitals, event venues, and restaurants—as well as demanding applications that require fast, effective air cleanup, including major construction sites, sewage remediation, and fire damage restoration.

On restoration jobs, it’s not enough to just remove standing water and visible debris—you also have to restore air quality. Mold spores, VOCs, dust, odors, and bacteria lingering in the air are all hidden challenges that professional restoration contractors must tackle.

(1) Durability — Industrial-Grade Air Scrubbers That Keep Delivering Power

  • AlorAir units are equipped with brushless DC motors, which deliver not only strong power but long-term durability. They are engineered for extended, high-load operation, providing steady, high airflow that pulls dust from far corners and hard-to-reach areas. Compared with traditional AC motors, they are more energy-efficient, quieter, and longer-lasting—ready to run from morning to night without missing a beat.
  • High-capacity dust collection: oversized dust compartments or direct-connect dust bags reduce how often you need to clean out the unit, boosting productivity on site.

Even on jobsites with heavy gypsum dust, AlorAir units keep running smoothly and reliably.

(2) Professional-Grade Filtration — Three Layers of Defense Against Aggressive Construction Dust

  • Triple-stage filtration (pre-filter + HEPA + activated carbon):
    • The pre-filter captures larger debris and hair, extending the life of the filters behind it.
  • True HEPA filter:the core barrier. The HEPA filter captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. That means cement dust, wood dust, and fine gypsum particles are all trapped inside the unit, so what’s exhausted back into the room is clean air.
  • Activated Carbon Filter:adsorbs formaldehyde, VOCs, and other chemical odors released during renovation, improving the smell and comfort of the jobsite.
  • Models such as the HEPA 870 and HEPA 970 also feature built-in UVC lamps to help neutralize airborne microorganisms and inhibit mold growth.

This combination ensures consistently high purification performance, even in environments with extremely heavy dust loads.

(3) Efficiency & Flexibility — Stackable, Easy-to-Move Design

  • Rugged housing:most AlorAir units use durable high-density polyethylene shells that can withstand bumps, knocks, and vibration on tough jobsites.
  • Daisy-chain design with GFCI outletsallows multiple units to be linked together to clean larger areas efficiently.
  • Large-capacity dust collection options—oversized bins or direct-connect dust bags—reduce service interruptions and help crews stay focused on the job.

Air clarity improves noticeably in a short time, allowing crews to work more efficiently in a cleaner, safer environment.
