Dust Collectors
This CD contains a comprehensive electronic catalog of dust, mist and fume collection equipment. It includes product literature, technical data, application guidelines, photos and drawings, as well as PowerPoint presentations, for key products. A library of technical papers and case studies on dust collection topics is also included.

HemiPleat high-efficiency filter
The HemiPleat high-efficiency (HE) filter offers an unsurpassed minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) 15 rating, coupled with up to twice the service life and half the pressure drop of standard dust collector cartridge filters. Available in filter sizes to fit any cartridge collector, the HemiPleat HE media is ideal for the capture of toxic and other ultra-fine dusts, and for applications where process air is recirculated downstream of the collector for energy savings. The filter combines the HemiPleat technology with an HE synthetic fine-fiber media that yields a filtration efficiency of 99.999% for 0.5-mm particles and larger. A patent-pending design holds the pleats of the filter open, making virtually all the media surface available for filtration. The wide, uniform spacing results in lower pressure drop for more efficient performance. This design allows dust to eject readily from deep within the pleats during pulse cleaning.

X-vent
Part of the Gold Series of dust collectors, the X-vent is a new explosion vent for applications involving the capture of explosive dusts. Manufactured in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards, the X-vent carries CE and ATEX certifications. The multi-ribbed vent delivers a very high negative static operating pressure of –80-in. w.c., and is designed to open at +1 psi (30 in. w.c.). Rated for temperatures to 350ºF, the X-vent is standard on all new Gold Series dust collectors that require explosion protection, and is also suitable for retrofit use. Made of sanitary food-grade stainless steel, it has broad application in the food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Features of the Gold Series dust collectors include rugged 10-gauge construction for durable performance, reversible easy-to-open access doors, and a patented cambar system that allows fast, trouble-free filter changeout without the need for tools.

Self-Dumping Hopper
This self-dumping hopper comes in two capacities — 1 yd3 and 2 yd3 — and can handle a full range of dry dusts, including those that need to be reclaimed or recycled after the collection process. Its assembly is designed to provide easy dust disposal while protecting against unwanted dust leakage between the collector and hopper, which are connected by a slide gate and a flexible quick-disconnect hose. The hopper lid is fastened with rubber clamps that create a gasketed seal to prevent the escape of dust. When the hopper is full, the user detaches it from the bottom of the collector, lifts the hopper onto a forklift, and simply pulls a lever to swing the lid open and dump the contents into a larger disposal container.
