How to Get Cleaner Air: Your Bottom Line for Dust Collection

From Donaldson Torit – Donaldson Company, Inc.
 

 
Government regulations. Employee health and safety. Productivity. These are vital considerations when deciding what type of dust collection technology will help you get cleaner in-plant air. While there are many choices, significant differences exist in the performance of technologies currently available for dust collection. Dust collection has evolved significantly over the last 30 years, and it's essential to understand how certain technologies today are engineered to ensure that you maintain a cleaner, safer work environment. And while cleaner air is your chief concern, advances in cartridge dust collection technology have also helped extend filter life and lower costs for many manufacturers today. The bottom line-proven and trustworthy information is your key to getting cleaner air. According to EPA sponsored research, downward flow of the dirty air stream in a dust collector results in superior filtration performance. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists also recommends use of downward flow technology. These endorsements have not been given to baghouse dust collectors that have an upward airflow path or cartridge technologies with a hybrid cross flow/upflow air path. Why?
