| Help
your dust extractor breathe easier... and the
benefits will come back to you |
 |
An
Anti Static Pleated Filter System
will economically regenerate your struggling
dust extractor to its maximum performance
and assist you in providing a cleaner, healthier
working environment, saving you money in
efficient running cost. |

| Filter
Efficiency |
|
It is a well known fact
that the air capacity of a dust extractor
is controlled by the performance characteristics
of the top filter bag. The best filter medium
available can be reduce in efficiency by
up to 60% by fine dust impinging or blinding
the pores of the woven material.If air cannot
pass through the filter, the bag simply
becomes pressurized and inflates. Hard
filter bags do not breath effectively.
Air cannot escape, creates back pressure
against the fan and reduce the amount of
dust laden air that can be drawn into the
machine. Reduction in airflow means the
dust is not being
collected at the source so, the whole dust
extraction exercise becomes ineffective
despite the best efforts of the fan and
motor, resulting in excessive cost in wasted
electricity. |

| The
Solution |
|
The
latest technology and the answer to the
problem is high efficient, PTFE impregnated,
non-woven polyester material, formed into
a cylindrical, pleated filter canister.This
configuration provides a greater filter
area (by a factor of up to 7 times) relative
to a standard filter bag, ensuring a large
throughput of air from the fan. These anti
static filters are efficient, in that they
can withstand fine material down to 3 microns
(3/1000mm). Example: Pollen = 7 microns.
Dust particles under 100 microns float around
in the air and can not be seen.Standard
dust extraction units are supplied with
nylon filter bags which filter dust particles
to approximately 30 microns. These stand
alone units are designed to be installed
next to the machine it is extracting dust
from, therefor, the operator is breathing
in the fine dusty air escaping the filter
bags.By installing a new or upgrading your
existing unit to a pleated filter cartridge
system, you will not only save on running
cost, but on expensive sick leave having
a cleaner air environment. |

| Maintenance |
|
Cleaning
of the pleated filter is performed from
the outside by rotating the internal filter
brush 3 revolutions in both directions.
The displaced material falls inside into
the collector bag and does not contaminate
the outside air.

| Service Life |
|
The
service life of a pleated filter is dramatically
longer than a conventional filter bag so
your investment is a "one off"
for a minimum period of 5 years, (subject
to correct operation and treatment of the
system). |

| Material
Collection Bags |
|
Most
portable dust extractors utilise either
impervious (non breathing) collector bags
or nylon filter style units to hold extracted
products prior to transferring to the industrial
bin for disposal.Emptying of these collector
bags usually results in the operator being
covered in a dangerous quantity of dust
and wood product. In addition, we have reason
to believe that council authorities and
environment protection agencies are now
paying particular attention to wood product
dumped loose into industrial bins. |
|
| |
| Cost Effective
Disposable Bags |
|
As
we can now provide efficient filter mediums
to the top bag position, we can now provide
an economical, disposable, polyethylene
collector bag to hold and seal these wood
products in a suitable form for disposal.
The strong collector bags fit snugly onto
the existing diameter extractor hoop on
most commercial units and fix into position
with existing bag clamp. |
