Many finishing
operations in companies produce heavy concentrations of dust or smoke that
spreads throughout the facility. Dust collection booths are engineered to remove fine airborne dust
without interfering with workers movement or visibility.
These Industrial dust
collection booths form self-contained
environments that eliminate airborne contaminants from worker breathing zones
and avert pollutants from interfering with other in-plant operations. The
Booths are usually constructed with Stainless steel or Galvanized Iron sheets
based on the requirements. High quality Filter Bags and Blowers are provided in the booths.
While selecting a dust
collector, following requirements should be considered.
- Dust concentration and particle size.
- Degree of dust collection required - The degree of dust collection required depends on its potential as a health hazard, the plant location, the allowable emission rate, the nature of the dust, its salvage value, and so forth.
- Characteristics of air stream.
- Characteristics of dust - Moderate to heavy concentrations of dust (such as dust from silica sand or metal ores) can be abrasive to dry centrifugal collectors. Hygroscopic material can blind bag collectors. Sticky material can adhere to collector elements and plug passages.
- Methods of disposal - Methods of dust removal and disposal vary with the material, plant process, volume, and type of collector used.
A dust collectorsystem comprises a blower,
dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and dust removal system. The fan and
motor system are used by the collectors to move contaminated air from the
dust-producing source to a dust collector. Centrifugal fans or Axial-flow fans are two kinds of fans that
are normally used. Integral horse power motors can be used with these systems.
Two types of the integral horsepower motors that can be used are Squirrel-cage
and wound-rotor.
Features:
- Flexibility of Design: The downdraft cartridge design allows varying space and filter capacity requirements.
- Continuous Pulse-Jet Cleaning: The filter cartridges are cleaned automatically. The system remains online continuously for full-time pollution control, better product quality and longer machine life. These systems are available in manual cleaning versions.
- Easy Maintenance: Front cartridge removal design allows personnel to service the unit through access portholes.
- Downdraft Module: The air inlet is located at the top of the unit and the downdraft airflow forces dust directly into the collector hopper below.
Uses:
Environmental dust control booths contain and accumulate dust, smoke, and fume
within the work area. Dust booths may be used to collect fine to medium
particulates, including wood, metal, composites, plastics, fiberglass, dry
powder, cement, and toner. Wet dust collector booths provide safe dust collection
for aluminum, titanium, and other potentially hazardous dust.
The industries which
use dust collector booths are:
- Sanding
- Soldering, Welding and Grinding
- Smoke
- Fiber Glass
- Wood
- Surface Finishing
- Metalworking
