This high-efficiency pleated cartridge filter for industrial air-filtration baghouses increases system throughput by up to 25% and can operate continuously at temperatures as high as 500°F (260°C). These filters provide nearly three times the filtering surface of similarly sized bag filters, and an increase in airflow that improves system productivity. In most cases, air-to-cloth ratios are cut in half and differential pressures are significantly reduced. The cartridge filters use high-efficiency laminates with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes.

The EV-80-D fine-dust dry shaker vacuum uses pulse filter-cleaning technology to capture fine dust generated by surface preparation tools and equipment. It weighs 40 lb and is 36 in. high, and its tank measures 16 in. dia. Its motor power is rated at 2.8 hp, and its air displacement at 132 ft3/min. Its powerful dual motors, coupled with the filter system and filter shaker, make this unit suitable for picking up drywall and concrete dust, powder coatings, sawdust, and any other fine powder. The tank is made of stainless steel and is mounted on a four-caster dolly.

This drawer magnet removes medium and fine ferrous contaminants from dry, free-flowing products during gravity flow, protecting processing machinery and improving product purity. The design includes multiple staggered rows to provide maximum contact area for product flow. As product flows through the stainless steel housing, it cascades over the staggered rows of magnetic tubes. Ferrous contaminants are pulled to the surface of the magnets and then move to the underside of the tube to prevent washoff.

The Micro Cone low-rate feeder features a screwless feeding mechanism that accurately doses free-flowing color, masterbatch or additives into a blending system or directly into the screw of an extruder. Utilizing a simple induced-flow rotating tube or cone, this can feed as little as a few granules at a time, with a feed rate range of 200 to 2,000 cm3/h (0.007 to 0.07 ft3/h); with the addition of an extension tip, it can feed as low as 100 cm3. The simple design has no pockets or screws, making it easy to use and minimizing maintenance.
