Dental suction & compressed air systems
The utility side of a dental practice — specified, installed, balanced and maintained.
Suction and compressed air are the two systems a dental practice cannot work without, and the two most often sized by guesswork. We design, install and service aspiration and compressed air systems for single surgeries and multi-surgery practices.
That includes wet and dry suction units, central vacuum plant, amalgam separators, oil-free compressors, dryers, filtration and the pipework between them — plus the testing that proves the system performs as specified.
What is included
- Sizing calculation for the number of chairs and equipment in use
- Wet and dry suction system design and installation
- Central suction plant for multi-surgery practices
- Amalgam separator specification and installation
- Oil-free compressor, dryer and filtration installation
- Performance testing and balancing of the system
How we work
- 01
Review
We look at the chairs, equipment and existing plant, and what is not keeping up.
- 02
Design
Equipment sizing, pipe routes and separation requirements set out in writing.
- 03
Install
Plant and pipework installed with minimal disruption to the practice.
- 04
Prove it
Vacuum and pressure tested at the farthest point, with results recorded.
Questions
Usually yes. Weak suction at the furthest point is normally a sizing, pipework or separator restriction problem rather than a failed motor. We measure at the chair and work back from there.
