What is a Torit system?
Torit® PowerCore® dust collectors are smaller and smarter than traditional baghouse or cartridge dust collection units. Torit PowerCore filter packs provide efficient fume and dust filtration, at a lower operational cost, with a smaller footprint, and easier maintenance.
What type of item is collected by dust cyclone collectors?
Cyclone separators are found in all types of power and industrial applications, including pulp and paper plants, cement plants, steel mills, petroleum coke plants, metallurgical plants, saw mills and other kinds of facilities that process dust.
How does a sawdust cyclone work?
As air is pulled through the chamber of the dust collector toward the vacuum conveying pump at high speed, it spins in a cyclonic motion. The centrifugal force created by this fast, circular air flow drives the heavier plastic particles, fines, and dust outward toward the wall of the cyclone chamber.
What are fabric filters?
A fabric filter, sometimes referred to as a baghouse, utilizes fabric filtration to remove particles from the contaminated gas stream by depositing the particles on fabric material.
What does dust extractor do?
Dust extractors are used on the jobsite to remove concrete dust at the source because of the carcinogenic nature of the dust. In the woodworking industry, they do the best job filtering out the ultra-fine dust particles that can escape a shop-vac or regular dust collector.
How does a filter receiver work?
A filter receiver is a specific application of a dust collector used to separate product from air in a pneumatic convey system where product is moved from one point in a facility to another. Dilute or dense phase pressure and vacuum systems all utilize similar equipment.
What are cyclones used for?
In general, cyclones are used to collect particles greater than 10 micrometers in diameter and are sometimes referred to as “pre-cleaners”, because they are often used to reduce the inlet loading of particulate matter to downstream collection devices by removing larger, abrasive particles.
What is the benefit of a cyclone dust collector?
Cyclone dust collectors frequently serve as pre-filter systems which reduce the dust loading to downstream baghouse and cartridge dust collectors. A cyclone pre-cleaner can save wear and tear on the filters and cleaning systems, thus reducing the associated maintenance and servicing costs of the dust collectors.
What is electrostatic cloth?
Electrostatic cloths are made of very tiny polyester fibres. They rely on electrostatic forces to lift the dust off a surface; these cloths create a static charge (imagine your pet’s hair when you rub a balloon on them) that will attract any dust or particles on the surface and will get stick to them.
Where are fabric filters used?
Fabric filter is the technical term for what is commonly known as a baghouse or dust collector. A fabric filter is an air pollution control device that removes particulate matter from a process gas stream before it is emitted into the atmosphere. Dust laden gases come in contact with filter bags inside a baghouse.
What are baghouses used for?
Baghouses utilize fabric filter bags or pleated filters arranged in rows and mounted vertically in a sheet metal housing. They are designed to receive dusty gas from fugitive or process sources, capture the particulates, and exhaust clean air.
Where is cyclone separator used?
The cyclone separator is a device for separating solid particles from contaminated gas streams, and has long been used in industrial applications such as power generations, gas turbines, chemical processes and so forth.
What is a cyclone equipment?
Cyclone separators or simply cyclones are separation devices (dry scrubbers) that use the principle of inertia to remove particulate matter from flue gases. Cyclone separators is one of many air pollution control devices known as precleaners since they generally remove larger pieces of particulate matter.
What is the purpose of dust cyclone?
Cyclone separators are used with shop vacs and dust collectors to remove 85% to over 99% of all of the dust before it gets to the filter. Without a cyclone separator you will have to clean your filter 5x to 100x more often, depending on the type of dust you are collecting.
What is the Donaldson Torit cyclone dust collector?
The Donaldson Torit® Cyclone dust collector is designed specifically for high dust load, high temperature, and product recovery applications. It has a mechanical separator that uses centrifugal force to remove large and high-volume dust from industrial applications. An economical solution to a wide range of dust collection problems
What is a cyclone dust collector?
Economical, Centrifugal Separator for High-Volume Dust. The Donaldson Torit® Cyclone dust collector is designed specifically for high dust load, high temperature, and product recovery applications. It has a mechanical separator that uses centrifugal force to remove dust particulates from the air in industrial applications.
How does a Donaldson Torit® rotary valve work?
Integrate a Donaldson Torit® Rotary Valve into your collector to create a complete system that automatically and continuously transfers dust from the hopper to the conveying system or collection container.
What is a Donaldson Torit Hopper?
Kidde Fire Systems, a global leader in fire protection, has defined fire suppression packages for many standard Donaldson collectors. The Donaldson Torit® Live Bottom Hopper is a trough and auger combination that attaches to the hopper of a dust collector to break up agglomerative dust.
