Operating principle
Dust laden air enters through the inlet plenum of the collector, where heavy particles fall immediately into the hopper. As the air flows through the filter cartridges, dust is deposited on the outside of the filtering media. The filter cartridges are cleaned automatically and continually without interrupting the operation of the dust collector. An adjustable timer controls the cycle-time.
Solenoid valves introduce jets of high-pressure air into each pair of cartridges in turn, through the venturi opening above each cartridge. The resulting reverse airflow cleans the filter cartridges. Dust removed from the filter surface settles into the hopper. As each pair of filter cartridges is cleaned in succession, the remaining stay in operation. Extremely high dust loading is handled easily.
Further complete with electrical panel with automatic switch controllers, main switch, signalling lamps and control buttons for 1 ventilator and control unit for cartridge cleaning valves.
