A Dust Collector is used to extract dust particles out of the air. In most cases these are used as part of a larger Dust Collection System. Normally the dirty air will be sucked into an inlet in the duct work, from there it will flow into the Collector where the dust laden gas stream (most often Air) will have the contaminates filtered out, before passing the now clean gas stream out, either for further processing, to be recirculated in the facility, or discharged into the atmosphere.

There are several different kinds of Dust Collectors, the most common being Fabric Collectors such as a Baghouse. In this design the air is cleaned by passing it through a number of Filter Bags that capture the dust and allow the air to pass through. Another popular design is a Cyclone Collector, where the incoming air is forced by the design of the duct work to spin at a high speed causing the majority of the larger particles to be thrown to the outside of the cone, where it then falls to the bottom to be collected later. There are also Wet Scrubberswhere the air is passed through an environment that is full of a fine mist, or vapor that allows for the water (or other subbing liquid) to stick to the dust particles causing them to fall to the bottom. In an Electrostatic Presipitator the contaminated gas stream is passed between to electodes that Ionize the air causing the dust particles to carry an electrical charge. The now Electrically charged air is then passed by another set of electric plates with an opposing charge that attracts the particles to it, thereby cleaning the air.

These are a few of the main Dust Collector design types that you will find in use today. They each have their advantages and disadvantages. For each unique application certain types are better suited then others. A qualified expert in the field can help you to determine what kind of collector will fit your needs the best.

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for pharmacy technicians.

There is no national training standard for pharmacy technicians, but employers favor applicants who have formal training, certification, or previous experience. There also are no formal training requirements for pharmacy aides, but a high school diploma may increase an applicant's prospects for employment.

Education and training. There are no standard training requirements for pharmacy technicians, but some States require a high school diploma or its equivalent. Although most pharmacy technicians receive informal on-the-job training, employers favor those who have completed formal training and certification. On-the-job training generally ranges between 3 and 12 months.

Formal technician education programs are available through a variety of organizations, including community colleges, vocational schools, hospitals, and the military. These programs range from 6 months to 2 years and include classroom and laboratory work. They cover a variety of subject areas, such as medical and pharmaceutical terminology, pharmaceutical calculations, pharmacy recordkeeping, pharmaceutical techniques, and pharmacy law and ethics. Technicians also are required to learn the names, actions, uses, and doses of the medications they work with. Many training programs include internships, in which students gain hands-on experience in actual pharmacies. After completion, students receive a diploma, a certificate, or an associate's degree, depending on the program.
