New vertical cartridge filter for industrial dust collection
The new Vertical Cartridge Filter (VCF; photo) removes industrial dust while incorporating a unique design for handling medium to high air volumes. The dust collector comes equipped with many time- and cost-saving features. An easy-to-use cartridge-clamp system simplifies replacement of the filter media, thereby minimizing maintenance time and lowering overall cost of operation. The filter is also equipped with a smart timer, which includes an onboard sensor that reads the pressure drop across the filtering elements for on-demand cleaning. This results in reduced compressed-air consumption and longer cartridge life. A standard radial inlet allows for excellent material separation during moderate air-volume applications, while the optional high-entry inlet with a pre-separation chamber is designed for optimal performance in high-volume systems. The chamber separates the largest powder particles, safeguarding the media from excess loads of pollutants and guaranteeing longer media life. — Schenck Process Holding GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany
