Dust is a common by-product of many industrial processes particularly in manufacturing units that include processes like grinding, cutting, polishing, machining, woodworking etc. When dust is permitted to diffuse into the workshop. The dust may accumulate on the machinery, floor and working surfaces and make housekeeping tedious and the environment in the working area becomes inconvenient. A suitable system for controlling the accumulation will therefore be needed to effectively remove such dusts.
The APZEM Cartridge Dust Collector is aimed at modern industries which require a simple as well as cost-effective solution for dust control in their production facility. The Cartridge Dust Collectors utilize filter cartridges for the purpose of separating dust from a stream of contaminated air thus facilitating to achieve cleaner air surrounding the work place. Instead of allowing dust particles to spread all over the shop-floor, the collector draws the dusty air through the ducting and extraction system provided and passes it on through the filtration section.
One great advantage of Cartridge filtration is that the system is able to provide a large filtering area in a small footprint. The pleated design of the cartridges gives a much larger filtration area and accommodates the requirements of industrial dust control in a compact volume, making it an excellent space-saving choice.
The process of collection of dust starts at the source of generation. A suitable hood or collection point connected to the dust collector can be installed thereby drawing the generated dust directly away from the production stream. A stream of dirty air is carried to the collector and the dust is collected on the filter cartridges while the clean air stream flows through the filter. In most cases, the collected dust can then be disposed of through the collection discharge mechanism.
Effect of dust in industries is not limited only to cleanliness of the floor but the collected dust can start contaminating the machinery and equipment over time and this requires cleaning it which increases housekeeping efforts. Capturing dust particles near the source can also eliminate such situation and make routine housekeeping more feasible and less tedious. The APZEM Cartridge dust collector is appropriate for such industrial applications such as for any metal working industry, wood working, machining, grinding and polishing application and for fabrication of various manufactured products as per user requirements.
The collector's configuration should be selected based on the type, quantity of dust generated, required Air-flow rate, number of collection points, working conditions etc.
The collector will require maintenance as any other industrial filtration equipment such as inspection and replacement of filters regularly and also cleaning of ducting and other components if necessary to help sustain performance over a longer period. For the Indian manufacturing industries, looking for a reliable collection system of industrial dust, the APZEM Cartridge Dust collector is useful in providing the required filtration capacity along with a compact design, easy integration with other dust generating machinery and effective dust extraction from the process. Instead of waiting and collecting dust after it has spread, a dust collector and the accessories that comes along with it would certainly contribute to the better environment of a manufacturing unit.
