When installing a dust collector, it is easy to be over-whelmed by the choices available, and it is only through research that companies will be able to identify which type of dust collector is best suited to their needs.
One choice that many companies may make is the choice of a cyclone dust collector, simply due to its cost effectiveness. However, should a cyclone dust collector be purchased for the wrong applications, the company will land up spending more money when it comes to replacing it with a more suitable collector.
Cyclone dust collectors are only 90% effective for dust particles with a size of 10 micron and higher, and should dust particles be smaller than 10 microns, the cyclone will not be efficient, and the dust not collected will be blown into the atmosphere failing to meet required emission standards. Dusts, such as chili powder, that are blown into the atmosphere can include irritants that can cause issues with neighbouring factories, or should a dust contain pesticides this can be even more damaging to industries in the vicinity.
Research needs to be done into the type of dust you are trying to eradicate, and what type of dust collector will work best. Nederman, available from Envirox, has a wide range of dust collectors that are suitable for all applications. Included in these ranges are cartridge dust collectors which are 99.5% efficient and help to ensure that the required emission standards are achieved.
Nederman MJC mini cartridge dust collector
The Nederman MJC mini cartridge dust collector is suited for light to medium volumes of any type of dust. It has a range of compact reverse jet tubular cartridge filters which were developed for continuous operation in industrial filtration and dust collection. It is Atex certified for St1, St2 and St3 dusts, and is suited to industries involved in materials handling, shot, sand and bead blasting, and welding and cutting processes. It can also be used in chemical, plastics and pharmaceutical powder industries.
Nederman LCP cartridge dust collector
The LCP dust collectors are designed for continuous operation in process and general dust extraction applications with free-flowing dust. It is Atex certified for St1, St2 and St3 dusts, and can be used with different cartridge media types for different applications. The well-sized integral pre-separation chambers can increase the dust load capacity, while reducing the load on filter cartridges.
Nederman MCP SmartFilter
The Nederman MCP SmartFilter is a multi-purpose dust filtration system that has a modular design allowing it to work as a standalone or as a multi-filter unit, in either outdoor or indoor applications. It is designed to optimise a longer filter cartridge lifespan, and this in turn adds to its lower cost of ownership. The MCP is suitable for welding fumes, metal cutting and general dust.
Nederman MEP SmartFilter
Suitable for all types of dry dust, the MEP SmartFilter can be used as a standalone or multi-filter solution. It can be used in applications for grinding, shot blasting, metal cutting and general dust. This collector makes use of fabric envelopes which are easy to maintain and are available for most applications depending on the dust load, dust type and efficiency requirements.
