A cartridge dust collector is a device used to purify the quality of air released from industries and commercial processes. It is used to collect impure gas and dust from the air released from factories. Cartridge dust collectors can discharge clean, filtered air back to the work area to reduce climate control costs. A good quality dust collector is a good investment for the industry because it not only purifies the air but also ensures the safety of workers and the environment.

Cartridge Dust Collector

Application of dust collectors:

• Chemical processing
• Grinding
• Welding operations
• Powder coating
• Dry machine operations
• Shot blast
• Bulk solids handling

Benefits of dust collectors:

• The maintenance cost of a cartridge dust collector and other dust collectors are cheaper.
• Dust collectors collect dust without using water.
• Dust collectors are produced through simple construction and at a low cost.
• The cartridge used in a dust collector used a pleated medium that can be manufactured from a variety of materials.
• The pleated filter is prevented from folding by a metal casing which holds it in a tight, compact package.

How does a dust collector work?

• It works by capturing the dust and particles in a stream of air and then moving it through the ductwork to a collection area.
• The dust collector is powered by a large induction motor that drives the impeller.
• The large flow of air that is generated moves the dust and debris.

Why is a dust collector necessary?

• Dust leads to several health problems concerning the lungs and heart. Sawdust is carcinogenic and therefore it is necessary to install dust collectors in industries to ensure the safety of workers.
• Manual dust collection can be hazardous as it becomes a continuous and lethargic process for the workers. A cartridge dust collector or any other form of mechanic dust collector is necessary to avoid any kind of injury or accident in the factory.
• If factory waste like wood particles and shavings is left untreated for a long period, it can become fire-prone. To avoid any such accidents, the installation of a dust collector is essential.
• It is much easier to work in a clean environment than a dirty one. A dust collector collects all the dust and toxic materials as and when they are produced by your power tools. Removal of excessive dust also keeps the tools and machines clean which increases their longevity.
• There are portable dust collectors which are cost-effective.

• Cyclone dust collectors will remove more dust than a cartridge dust collector. Cyclones remove the larger and coarser dust particle before reaching the baghouse. This increases the longevity of filters.
• The maintenance cost of a cyclone dust collector is comparatively lower than a cartridge dust collector.
• Cyclone dust collectors have longer filter life than other dust collectors.
• In case of valuable dust, like gold and silver where recovery of dust is essential, cyclone dust collectors are more efficient. A cyclone does not require any filter to recover the material as the dust would be recovered from the dust discharge valve.
