Granite and silica particles combined with strong epoxy odors had defeated several previous filtration attempts. A single CleanLeaf OX3000, installed over the main work area, solved both problems at once.
Granite Transformations is a global, full-service home and business remodeling system offering a wide selection of resurfacing designs in stone and stone-like materials. Their manufacturing facility faced serious air quality challenges from granite and silica particles combined with strong epoxy odors from the resurfacing process.
The facility had already tried several different approaches to filter the air and reduce odors, but none had resolved the persistent silica dust and chemical smell. Silica dust in particular poses serious respiratory health risks, which made effective filtration a safety concern rather than only a comfort issue.
What Granite Transformations needed was a solution that could capture fine granite and silica particles, reduce strong epoxy odors from the manufacturing process, and hold up to the demanding conditions of a stone fabrication shop — all without another round of trial and error.
CleanLeaf OX3000 air cleaners — formerly branded as Blue Ox Air Cleaners — were strategically installed above the main work area in the fabrication shop to eliminate granite and silica pollutants and reduce epoxy odors.
The OX3000 uses a T-Style airflow pattern, with inlets on both sides of the unit and exhaust from the center, maximizing coverage across the work area from a single mounting point.
The series is equipped with a dual set of micro-glass fiber filters that provide greater filter area, making it especially effective at capturing the fine particulate generated by granite and silica cutting.

High-capacity air cleaner with T-pattern airflow, built for dust and odor control across demanding fabrication environments.
Where previous filtration attempts had failed, the CleanLeaf OX3000 succeeded. Air quality improved noticeably throughout the facility, with granite and silica particles effectively removed from the air and epoxy odors greatly reduced in the work area.
The improvement in worker safety was immediate, given the respiratory risks associated with silica exposure. Granite Transformations also found an unexpected side benefit: the added air circulation from the unit helps keep workers cool on hot days.
A single, strategically positioned unit solved multiple air quality challenges that had resisted every previous attempt.
What made this installation work is what makes the approach right for granite and stone shops generally.
When multiple previous filtration attempts couldn't solve the problem, a single OX3000 delivered noticeable improvement in both particle capture and odor control.
The dual micro-glass fiber filter configuration provides the extensive filter area needed to capture hazardous silica dust generated during cutting and fabrication.
One system tackles both particulate (granite and silica dust) and chemical contaminants (epoxy odors) for comprehensive air quality improvement.
Silica dust exposure is a serious occupational hazard in stone fabrication. Effective filtration protects workers and helps maintain compliance with safety regulations.
