A global manufacturer of earth moving equipment needed a more effective dust collection solution for their thermal spray booths. Their existing systems were sourced from another provider but did not offer the performance and value required for ongoing operations.
A.C.T. Dust Collectors evaluated the application and delivered a system that improved performance while reducing overall cost.
Industry: Heavy equipment manufacturing
Application: Thermal spray booth dust collection
Location: Global manufacturing operation
Challenge: Improve performance while reducing cost
Dust Type: Thermal spray particulate
System Installed: ACT 5-40 cartridge dust collector with TCBI 30 fan
Outcome: Improved performance and cost savings
The manufacturer relied on dust collection systems for thermal spray processes used in coating and finishing large components. These applications generate fine particulate that must be captured efficiently to maintain air quality and system performance.
In this operation:
Thermal spray applications require reliable airflow and consistent filtration to maintain clean air and support production processes.
The customer needed a dust collection system that matched performance requirements while improving overall value.
After reviewing the application, A.C.T. Dust Collectors provided a solution designed to meet both performance and cost objectives.
The system included:
The system was selected for its:
This combination provided the airflow and filtration needed to support consistent booth performance.
Following installation, the dust collection system delivered improved results compared to the previous equipment.
Outcomes:
The manufacturer has since purchased multiple A.C.T. dust collectors and plans to continue using them as operations grow.
Thermal spray processes require dust collection systems that can:

A thermal spray dust collection system is an industrial air filtration system designed to capture and remove airborne particulate generated during thermal spraying processes. These systems collect fine dust and overspray particles to maintain air quality, improve visibility, and support safe working conditions.
Effective thermal spray dust collection systems help prevent dust buildup, protect equipment, and ensure consistent performance in coating and finishing applications.
Airflow is important in thermal spray dust collection systems because it determines how effectively airborne particulate and overspray are captured and removed from the spray booth. Proper airflow ensures that dust is pulled away from the work area before it can spread or settle.
Maintaining consistent airflow helps improve air quality, prevent dust from escaping into the facility, and support reliable system performance during continuous coating operations.
The type of dust collector used for thermal spray applications is typically a cartridge dust collector designed to capture fine particulate and overspray. These systems use high-efficiency filters to remove small particles from the air while maintaining consistent airflow.
Cartridge dust collectors are well suited for thermal spray processes because they provide effective filtration, support clean air in spray booths, and help maintain reliable system performance.
Static pressure affects dust collection performance by measuring the resistance air encounters as it moves through the system. Maintaining the correct static pressure helps ensure proper airflow, efficient filtration, and consistent system operation.
System scalability is important in manufacturing facilities because production needs often grow over time. A scalable dust collection system allows additional units or capacity to be added as operations expand, helping maintain performance without requiring a complete system redesign.
