All about the Folter dust collectors

Any exhaust systems must have special powerful dust collectors. Such units make it possible to get rid of accumulated dust. The devices trap dirt particles, thereby cleaning the room. Today we will talk about the features of dust collection equipment manufactured by the company "Folter".

The Folter brand specializes in the creation of high-quality and durable dust collectors for aspiration systems. They allow large air currents to be quickly cleaned. The brand's products are equipped with a special powerful fan, which acts as an aspiration unit... Most often, sleeve-type dust collectors are produced.

The operation of this air cleaning equipment is quite simple. Basically, dust collectors have a solid cylindrical body, which is equipped with special ledges. They are placed around the perimeter. In places where, with the help of such ledges, rather strong vortices are formed, the necessary conditions arise for the coagulation of suspended particles.

After complete cleaning, the air masses are fed to the suction outlet duct. The sedimentation rate of harmful particles will increase significantly. They will end up in a special hopper of the unit. In order to provide an air curtain and carry out additional air purification, a mechanism is provided in the lower part of such devices that ensures the suction of air masses from the outside.

Currently, "Folter" manufactures dust collection equipment of various types, each of which has its own design features and technical characteristics. The following types of this cleansing technique can be distinguished.

• Inertial. Such units are also divided into two large groups: dry and wet dust collectors. The latter option allows you to humidify contaminated air masses. Dust particles, under the weight of their own weight, which increases significantly after mixing with water, begin to settle. The first option works in such a way that the mechanisms create swirls of dust particles. Due to centrifugal force, they will be thrown onto the surface of the walls of the vehicle.
• Gravitational. The work of such models is based on the force of gravity. In the process of operation, the equipment throws dust mixtures into the sediment.
• Electrical. These modern equipment models allow the air to be ionized. At the same time, an electric current is passed through it, which contributes to the deposition of harmful particles on the electrodes.
• Contact devices. Such varieties can only be suitable for purifying the air from the largest particles. In such models there are fabric filters through which dust passes. They cannot catch small items.

The Folter brand currently produces a large number of different models of dust collection systems. The following options are most popular with buyers.

Such a recirculation-type purifier is used for the most thorough and highly efficient air purification. The equipment will protect against harmful aerosols, fine dust particles, as well as bacteria and viruses.

The technique is used in large manufacturing enterprises, and it is also often this type that is installed in structureswhere it is required to constantly maintain cleanliness (medical institutions, microbiological laboratories). The body and all parts located on the outside of the product are coated with a special powder paint.

This kind of recirculation type will be able to provide the most effective air purification from almost all types of contaminants, including fine aerosols. It is not recommended to use equipment to capture flammable particles. "PAR-PIG" is produced with special filters made of anion-exchange materials, allowing to clean streams from acid gases and harmful vapors, including hydrogen fluoride and nitrogen dioxide. Also, filters with cation-exchange materials are used in the production, they make it possible to get rid of the main impurities and vapors (ammonia, toxic salts).

The wet unit is used to treat air masses in large air handling units. The technique helps to get rid of all types of particles, including fire and explosive pollutants. But at the same time, it is better not to use the unit if cleaning from dust is required, which has the ability to cement or crystallize in water. In this case, it will be able to form various hard deposits.

The dust collection model simultaneously combines a powerful dust collector, an aspiration system and a filter ventilation unit.

The mass of such a unit is about 400 kilograms.

Such a dust collector provides a higher level of air purification efficiency in aspiration units. The technique allows you to return to the premises part of the treated streams for significant savings during heating seasons. The device is equipped with a baghouse filter with a fan.

The model is used for fast dry cleaning of streams. Most often it is used to get rid of particles that are formed during technological processes, including during industrial drying, roasting, and combustion of fuel components. Also, the technique is suitable for air purification in aspiration installations. The device is often installed in industrial enterprises related to the processing of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, as well as in chemical, oil, and machine-building industries. But such equipment should never be used in places where explosive or flammable particles are generated. Such a device will also not be able to process strongly sticking elements. The model can be manufactured as a single or group version (with several cyclones).
