Five Critical Tips for Clean Air in Your Dust Collection Factory

Without a well-designed dust collection system, fine particles accumulate rapidly in production areas, threatening employee health and preparing the ground for equipment failures. As a first step, it should be aimed to capture the dust source on the spot; thus, the amount of particles mixed into the air decreases to a minimum before they are formed.ithout a well-designed dust collection system, fine particles accumulate rapidly in production areas, threatening employee health and preparing the ground for equipment failures. As a first step, it should be aimed to capture the dust source on the spot; thus, the amount of particles mixed into the air decreases to a minimum before they are formed. When determining the fan capacity, the “air to cloth ratio”, not the air flow rate, should be taken into account and the threshold of 1.5 m /min should not be exceeded.

In the second step, the selection of filtration media becomes important. PTFE coated nonwoven fabrics prevent clogging in sticky and hygroscopic dusts while keeping the differential pressure lown the second step, the selection of filtration media becomes important. PTFE coated nonwoven fabrics prevent clogging in sticky and hygroscopic dusts while keeping the differential pressure low. Automatic jet‑pulse cleaning extends filter life by up to two times, while IoT sensors provide instant monitoring of pressure loss, enabling proactive maintenance. This significantly reduces unplanned downtime.

Finally, emission limits in accordance with EN 779 or ISO 16890 must be verified at the air outlet. Explosion-proof ATEX certified blasting panels and grounded channels eliminate the risk of fire.inally, emission limits in accordance with EN 779 or ISO 16890 must be verified at the air outlet.
