CUSTOM COLOR DUST COLLECTORS

With millions of CFM going through operating A.C.T. Dust Collectors every day worldwide, we have experience with applications in many industries!  Custom designed and built systems are common, and our engineering team can help find the dust collection system that's right for you.

Dirty air from the dust source enters the A.C.T. dust collector at the top of the main housing. There are inlets on the roof and optional inlets on the front for the most efficient connection. As air enters the dust collector, dust accumulates on the outside of the filters as air is drawn through the high-efficiency media. The air flowing down through the system greatly assists the fallout of dust into the hopper where it is discharged. When the pulse clean system activates and accumulated dust is released from the cartridges, the air flowing downward through the collector assists dust fallout again. This avoids dust from getting re-entrained and accumulating on the filter again. Systems with vertical filters — with air entering from the side or below — struggle to avoid dust getting picked back up in the airstream or "re-entrained."

OVERVIEW

ADVANTAGES OF Cartridge Collectors

The A.C.T. Dust Collectors cartridge collectors are a compact dust collector with a small footprint for applications including metalworking, weld smoke and fumes, blasting, plastics and many more. Typically, the an A.C.T. Dust Collectors would be found collecting dust and debris for a smaller area in a facility.

The downward airflow technology of this horizontal cartridge style dust collector, maximizes the airflow in the collector to assist with dust separation. The filter media in the dust collector will help to ensure the dust collection system is operating at optimum performance.

MAINTENANCE

When this dust collection system was designed, maintenance was top of mind. Our cartridge dust collectors are easy to maintain because of the following standard features:

  • Automatic Venturi-Assisted Pulse Filter Cleaning System
  • ACTion-Lock Quick Release Filter Doors
  • Ease of Access to Filters

This A.C.T. Dust Collector system comes standard with our A.C.T. Nano-Elite Nanofiber Cartridges. Our cartridge dust collectors are built to have a low total cost of ownership.  Because our dust collectors take standard filters, the cost of replacement filters is much lower than systems that come with custom sized or shaped filters. It is important to consider filter replacement cost at the time of purchase.

EXTERIOR RAIL CARTRIDGE SUPPORTS FOR UNOBSTRUCTED PULSE

Inside the A.C.T. dust collector, the design continues to work. Two rails support the cartridge filters from the front to the back of the housing, eliminating the need for interior yoke support frame cantilevered from the collector tube sheet. The pulse clean system is unobstructed inside the filter for maximum effectiveness.

PREMIUM GOYEN DIAPHRAGM VALVES AND ELECTRIC SOLENOIDS

Get behind the system, and the working end of the A.C.T. dust collector is equipped for any requirement. Goyen diaphragm valves and electric solenoids are the industry standard. Coupled with Dwyer Instruments digital, solid-state pulse control, complete with on-board pressure switch, you can control on-line, on-demand and downtime cleaning. All this is enclosed in a weatherproof housing for reliable operation.

HEAVY CONSTRUCTION HOUSING WITH VENTURI ASSISTED CLEANING

The main housing of your A.C.T. dust collector is 7 and 10 gauge, all-welded steel. Systems with bolted panel construction can leak over time, so the housing of the A.C.T dust collector is fabricated with continuous, welded seams. Behind every row of two filters is a venturi for maximum performance on the pulse cleaning.

FIT AND FINISH

With hundreds of A.C.T. dust collectors manufactured and installed, every serial number is a statement of quality. Lifting lugs are engineered to the correct lifting angle and formed doors for maximum rigidity, coupled with deep one-piece gaskets, maintain the seal. Angle iron support structure and base plates are pre-punched for easy installation. A fastener kit is included with Grade 5, zinc-plated fasteners. A premium blast, prime and paint process ensures the system will remain in excellent cosmetic condition for many years.

REPLACEMENT FILTERS

OEM Replacement Cartridge Filters

A.C.T. Nano-Elite high efficiency cartridge filters remove 99.9% of the particulate from the air stream. They carry a MERV 15 rating (best in the industry). The cleaned air is then directed to the location of your choice, either returned to the facility or exhausted to the environment.
