Dust extraction

Reverse pulse dust extraction, also known as pulse-jet or reverse-jet dust extraction, represents a more advanced and efficient type of dust collection technology. These systems utilise a unique method of cleaning the filter media that significantly enhances their performance and extends the life of the filters.

In a reverse pulse dust extraction, compressed air is periodically blasted through the filters in the opposite direction of the regular airflow. This pulse of air creates a rapid expansion in the filter media, dislodging dust and debris that have accumulated on the filter surface. The dislodged dust particles then fall into a hopper or bin for disposal. This cleaning process occurs without interrupting the operation of the dust extraction, making it highly efficient for continuous operation settings.

High Efficiency: Reverse pulse dust extraction is highly effective at capturing and removing fine dust particles, making them suitable for environments with high dust loads or particularly fine particulate matter.

Automatic Cleaning: The automated filter cleaning system minimises maintenance requirements and ensures consistent performance without the need for manual intervention.

Longer Filter Life: The gentle yet effective cleaning action of the pulse jet extends the life of filter media, reducing the overall maintenance and operational costs.

Energy Efficiency: These systems are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing operational costs. The improved airflow also means less strain on the system, leading to lower energy consumption.

Versatility: Reverse pulse dust extraction can be designed to handle a wide range of dust types and volumes, making them adaptable to various industrial applications.

Reverse pulse dust extraction is used in a variety of industrial settings. They are particularly useful in industries where fine, challenging dust is generated, such as in cement manufacturing, metal fabrication, and pharmaceutical production. Their ability to handle high dust loads while maintaining efficient operation makes them an ideal choice for these environments.

Reverse pulse dust extraction represents a significant advancement in dust collection technology. Their efficiency, automatic cleaning systems, and energy-saving features make them a valuable asset in any industrial or commercial setting where dust management is a concern. By investing in these systems, businesses can ensure a cleaner, safer, and more compliant work environment.

• All systems built with large inbuilt central pre-separation chamber which aids filter life and means dust is distributed into multiple hoppers evenly. The pre-separation chamber is a low velocity central part of our dust extraction where gravity and a very low downdraft velocity forces heavier particles and high dust load to be dropped out of the airstream when the air turns twice before coming into the filter area. This reduces the dust load onto the filter bags thus making the cleaning system more efficient and in turn increasing the life of the filter bag. Over 23 years of building dust collectors we have never had a dust collector bag fail by premature wear or large foreign items imploding into our bags. In some cases extending life by 5 – 6 years over some of our oppositions collectors.

• We offer conservative air to cloth ratios and fabric selection for maximum capture of pollutants which in turn gives longer bag life, lower running costs and better emissions.

• Our filter bags have snaptex cuffs which require no tools to replace our filter bag and are accessible from within the plenum above, which means “No Confined Space Work” or permits are needed for filter bag changes. This is also a safer and cleaner operation than dust extraction which have the filter bags changed from within the dirty area.

• Our systems work under negative pressure where the fan is on the clean side which means no product or waste ever goes through our fan impellors, which in turn will never go out of balance, wear out prematurely or get broken impellors.

• Our extractors are fabricated from 3-5mm fully welded mild steel construction and work under a negative pressure so they never leech dust out of the joins and seals,  Unlike some of our competitors positive pressure, bolt together, light gauge sheet metal dust collectors.
• Our Hopper angles are designed to help prevent against product hang-up and are minimum of 60° UNA.

• Inclined tops on our Dust Extractor.

• prevent water lying on top thus reducing premature corrosion.

• All Collectors are abrasive blasted before being painted by industrial painters in 2 Pak epoxy paint.

• We offer full Turnkey systems including customisation, fabrication, installation and after-sales service to suit all customers specific requirements. 

• Location issues 

• Nature of dusts 

• All waste dust discharge applications catered for 

• Several waste bin options available 

• The waste discharge below each dust collector is designed to suit the quantity and available area of each customised unit

• 3 cubic metre bins 
• Small bins 
• Rotary feed valves 
• Briquette 
• Conveyed 

We can also supply and install fans and VS drives to suit for greater control of fan usage.
