With so many systems that Dynequip offers, we wanted to take the time to highlight a couple essential material handling products: dust collectors and filter receivers.

Dust Collectors

A dust collector, sometimes referred to as a bag-house or bin-vent, is a system used to enhance the air quality in industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from an air or gas stream. A full dust collection system would include a fan or blower to move dusty air, duct work to direct the air, the dust collector itself, and equipment to discharge and handle the collected dust.

In addition to supplying common dust collector systems, Dynequip also specializes in custom systems designed to meet the customer’s needs. A great example of a custom designed dust collector system was for one client in the milk powder industry. They needed a solution to collect the excess powder in the air that was suspended during the drying process. Our system was integrated directly into their process to pull the nuisance dust out of the air and discharged into a barrel for disposal.

Below are a few images of dust collectors that we have provided here at Dynequip:

Filter Receivers

A filter receiver is a specific application of a dust collector used to separate product from air in a pneumatic convey system where product is moved from one point in a facility to another. Filter receivers are often round/cylindrical to better handle the pressure or vacuum they are used under. Industrial filter receivers are often made from carbon steel where a food facility might utilize a sanitary design with stainless steel.

An example of where a filter receiver system might fit into your process is in any manufacturing facility moving product from bulk storage into the process. Bulk storage may range from a full silo down to a super sack and into a pneumatic convey line. The product is often moved into the filter receiver where it can be gravity discharged into the process.

Both dust collectors and filter receivers are typically self-cleaning. Self-cleaning systems include reverse-pulsed air (briefly running air backward through the filter to remove dust) and “shakers” that physically shake the dust off.

The custom systems that we build can be designed for extreme temperatures or pressures, and we can also offer certified pressure testing. Additional options include powder coat painted, toolless filter changes, and meeting USDA/3A standards.
