How to Achieve Maximum Dust Collector System Performance and Efficiency--Plus Significant Savings in Energy, Operational Costs

From United Air Specialists, Inc.
 

 

Call it "The Best of Both Worlds"! Today, for a dust collector to perform to its full potential and your expectations, it is important to usethe advanced surface-loading capa¬bilities of nanofiber filters instead of traditional commodity filters. The combination of nanofiber filtration in conjunction with an optimized downward flow dust collector will result in less pulse cleaning cycles (less compressed air use) and significantly longer filter life. Most importantly, this combination, in addition to maximizing overall system performance and efficiency, will bring significant savings in energy and operational costs.


Products & Services
Dust collectors are used in many processes to either recover valuable granular solid or powder from process streams or to remove granular solid pollutants from exhaust gases prior to venting to the atmosphere. Search by Specification | Learn more about Dust Collectors
Air cleaners re-circulate, filter and purify air for process and environmental applications. Learn more about Air Cleaners
Baghouses and Depth Filters utilize air flow throw filter media (often in the shape of a bag) to capture particulate matter.  Filter elements with pleated media and other porous materials (ceramics, glass fibers, etc.) are also used.
