Bag-dump module for many types of process equipment
This new bag dump module (photo) can be installed on the lid of bulk-solid mixers, blenders, size-reduction equipment and storage vessels to contain dust generated when bulk materials are dumped manually. The self-contained module includes a dust hood with hinged door, a blower that draws airborne dust onto the outer surface of two PTFE 1-µm pleated cartridge filters and air nozzles that periodically dislodge accumulated dust, returning it to the vessel below. The pre-drilled flanges on the rear and sides of the hood allow rapid fastening to mixers, blenders, size-reduction equipment, storage vessels and other equipment having horizontal covers with square openings from 24 to 30 in. Construction is of stainless steel finished to industrial, pharmaceutical or food-grade standards. — Munson Machinery Company, Inc., Utica, N.Y.
