As you know, pulse cleaning is a critical technology to help your dust collectors maintain a steady airflow (CFM) and run at peak efficiency. When the pressure drop reaches a certain level, pulse-cleaning systems send quick bursts of compressed air back through the filters. Accumulated dust is blasted off and into the hopper, helping maintain a stable pressure drop and increasing filter life.
Many pharmaceutical companies consider the continuous solid dose manufacturing process an improvement over batch production. That’s because the continuous process simultaneously charges and discharges ingredients and finished product. Batch manufacturing, on the other hand, is a step-by-step process, and it can process only one batch at a time.
A high-quality dust collector that’s been properly designed and installed for your specific operation should provide peace of mind that the air in your facility is safe to breathe. It should also provide hassle-free performance. But that doesn’t mean you can ignore the mechanics for the life of the collector.
Manufacturing and processing facilities across many different industries have one common challenge – containing the dangerous dusts. Operations that produce dust threaten the safety of workers, the facility and even customers who might encounter dust particles in the end product. While every type of dust has its own specific requirements and regulations, there are 3 important things ...
The processes involved in manufacturing batteries can release particles into the air – lead dust, nickel, cobalt, aluminum and other materials that are combustible and/or toxic. Though these dusts and fumes are generally emitted near process equipment, once in the air they disperse and eventually settle on equipment, floors, walls and other surfaces.
There are many paper manufacturing processes that generate dust and scrap including trim machines, die cut presses, shredders, balers and vacuum feed conveyors. Besides being a housekeeping nuisance, this dust is combustible, which is why facilities use industrial dust collectors. Most paper dust is classified as ST1 and is around 100Kst. Here are some important points to consider that can improve
Dust testing is important regardless of how long you’ve been producing the same type of dust or the age of your dust collection system. You may think that you have an understanding of the type of dust produced during your operations, but changes in equipment, regulations or products can mean that it’s time to have your facility’s dust evaluated.
