De-Dusting System
DeDusting systems are used in the bulk handling industry for cleaning of all kind of granular products. DeDuster systems reduce the scrap rate and increase profitability by removing unwanted contaminants prior processing, extrusion, and packaging. Traditional DeDuster designs require the product inlet and outlet to be in a straight line. While this design remains effective, the constant need to respond to changing processing conditions led to the design of the OS DeDuster series. The OS DeDuster series offers an offset inlet and outlet connection, for installation in existing angled silo outlet pipes, without changing the pipe geometry. All other features of the Pelletron DeDusting technology, such as the magnetic field and the Venturi zone, remain unchanged. Pelletron Corp., Lancaster, PA 717-293-4008 www.pelletroncorp.com

Nozzle-Based Cleaning System
SDC offers state-of-the art nozzle cleaning technology for reverse pulse-jet dust collectors. The new cleaning nozzle provides an improvement in cleaning technology that achieves better performance at a lower pressure drop. The key to the performance of this cleaning system is the scientific design of the cleaning nozzle. Previous nozzle designs provided a significant 40% increase in cleaning flow when compared to generic venturi-based cleaning systems. The improved nozzle design adds an additional 12% cleaning flow into the media for enhanced filter cleaning and better filter performance, providing longer filter life with less media.

Baghouse Performance Analyzer & Controller
The B-PAC series of baghouse performance analyzers and controllers offer a combination of features to help powder processing, air pollution control, and dust collection users meet EPA or OSHA compliance, while simultaneously reducing operating costs and improving the process. The controllers tightly integrate control, sensing, and high-speed digital signal analysis to provide time- and money-saving diagnostics including: the ability to detect/locate filter leaks weeks before emissions are visible; the ability to detect/locate failed pulse solenoids that can lead to plugged filters; and the ability to instantly detect/locate ruptured or frozen pulse-jet diaphragms where one undetected rupture can cost $1000 of compressed air in one week. The controller also provides intelligent filter cleaning which extends filter life and lowers emissions, while reducing compressed air use by 15-40% over traditional PLC programming and up to 90% over continuous cleaning.

Oval Filters
Made with proprietary Ultra-Web nanofiber technology on a spunbond (SB) substrate, Donaldson Torit pleated filter bags can now be ordered in both round and oval configurations. The addition of the oval configuration to the pleated filter bag program allows the company to put its nanofiber technology into all popular makes and models of baghouse collectors. The Ultra-Web SB media used in the pleated bag program consists of a layer of nanofibers (most of which are only 0.3 microns in diameter) over a sturdy spunbond polyester substrate. The substrate is known to work well in applications where agglomerative dust is problematic – including food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, cement, gypsum, rock, paint, chemical, and others.

Downdraft Dust Collector
With the Modu-Kleen downdraft dust collector, the air enters at the top of the dust collector housing and flows downward to the cartridge filters, improving the filtering process and the material-to-air ratio. Air velocities are much lower than those with a conventional dust collector, reducing the load on each filter cartridge and extending filter life. Cartridge filters are positioned horizontally, requiring less floor space and making filter removal easier. Personnel never have to enter the filter housing for general maintenance or for cartridge filter removal. This provides a safe and quick method of filter removal. For fast and easy inspections, a large, quick-opening door allows maintenance personnel to closely inspect each cartridge when required. In addition, any single cartridge can be removed without disturbing adjacent cartridges. Each cartridge filter has a built-in quarter turn bayonet mount, so no tools of any kind are required for cartridge removal. Dynamic Air Inc., St. Paul, MN 651-484-2900 www.dynamicair.com
