FILTER MODULEUpper part of the dust collector

housing that contains the cartridge

filters, filter access doors and filter

cleaning system (compressed air

reservoir, purge pipes, solenoid and

diaphragm valves).

HOPPERLower part of the dust collector that

funnels dust that is captured in the

collector down into a disposal channel or

device. In the photo above, collected dust

is discharging through a rotary airlock

and down into a large, common bin on a

lower level. 55-gallon drums are common

discharge devices that connect directly to

the hopper with a flexible hose.

LEG SUPPORT STRUCTURESupports the entire dust collector

housing. Typically designed for seismic

zone 3 and 100 mph wind load.

CONTROL PANELFilters are automatically back-flush cleaned

with periodic pulses of compressed air,

typically through an on-demand setting in

the electronic control panel. The control

panel sends signals to solenoid valves,

which trigger powerful blasts of air from

the compressed air reservoir through

diaphragm valves.

FANThe typical arrangement of the fan

(sometimes called a blower) is to pull

air through the dust collector, creating

a suction to draw dust into the filter

module. The fan can be mounted on top,

or remotely from the dust collector via

ductwork.

Tool-less quick-open access doors

to super-fast cartridge filter change-

out system that does not require

entry into the dust collector. Cam-

operated clamp bars provide filter

clamping and sealing.
