The Dust Experts
Turnkey dust collection systems, from design through installation.
Where we work
Local advantage. Regional reach
Based in Indianapolis, DCG designs, fabricates and installs dust and fume collection systems for manufacturers throughout the Midwest.
We support projects of all sizes, from equipment only through to full design-build and installation.
Home. The shop is in Indianapolis and our own crews work the whole state: grain and feed in the north, foundries and metal fabricators through the middle, river plants in the south. Most jobs start here, and it is where we get on site fastest.
The fabrication, food processing and plastics compounding corridor running up to Chicago. Close enough that the steel is built on our floor in Indianapolis and shipped, rather than subcontracted to a shop near the site.
Automotive and tier-supplier plants across the south of the state, and the furniture and woodworking shops on the west side. Weld fume capture and line-side exhaust are most of what we are asked for.
Food processing, grain handling and paper converting. Work where a dust hazard analysis and NFPA compliance shape the system before anything else does.
Steel, foundry and automotive work, heaviest in the western half of the state. Heavy-gauge duct and high-temperature capture, which is the kind of fabrication a commodity duct shop treats as an exception.
Automotive assembly and aluminum along the Ohio River, and food and distilling plants further south. Louisville is under two hours from the shop door.

Why we work in-house
The usual arrangement puts three companies on one job: an integrator who sells the system, a fabrication shop that makes the duct, and a mechanical contractor who installs it. Every seam between those three is a place for schedule and accountability to leak out. When a fitting does not fit, it becomes a conversation instead of a fix.
We do all three. The ductwork, hoods and steel are fabricated in our own shop, and our own crews rig the collector, hang the duct, build the platforms and tie the system into your building. When something needs changing in the field, the shop that made it is a phone call and a short drive away — not a purchase order and a lead time.
We are equipment-agnostic, and that is deliberate. We size and supply the collector from the manufacturer whose equipment actually fits the duty — Donaldson Torit, Scientific, whoever the dust points to. A factory-owned rep has one brand to sell you. We have the whole market, and no reason to talk you into the wrong unit.
How we work
Most of what we build goes into plants that cannot stop running. That shapes everything: we fabricate ahead and stage on site so shutdown time is spent installing, we work the off-shifts and weekends the schedule needs, and we start the system up and balance it before we call it finished.
Qualified where it matters
