Dust Collection Installation [Video]

We design, build and install our own dust collection systems, as well as maintain other dust collection systems and ductwork and HVAC systems all around the country. It really sets us apart from any other contractor in the country, because there’s a lot of contractors that deal with just the engineering piece and rely on another company…

What is an Engineering Study? [Video]

An industrial ventilation engineering study is essentially an indoor air quality survey that helps detect dust collection problems at their source. Press play below to view “What is an Engineering Study?” If you’d like to conduct an engineering study at your facility, contact us. Video Transcript An engineering study tells us and, more importantly, tells…

Mine Ventilation Systems Designed for a Unique Industry

In the above-ground mining industry, so much relies on getting dust collection right. Silica dust collection must meet strict MSHA standards. And you need to make sure that your mine ventilation system isn’t carrying away good product. The combination of your product and process is unlike any other industry. That requires expertise in mining ventilation…

What is a baghouse dust collector? Types, industries, capabilities and more

An industrial baghouse dust collector, when coupled with an industrial blower, functions like a large vacuum cleaner that pulls in airborne dirt, debris and other particulate matter generated by manufacturing processes. The baghouse dust collector then cleans the air by filtering out floating dust, dirt and debris. Once clean and free of contaminants, the dust…

Planning for a new dust collector installation

When a new dust collector installation occurs, the installation may alter hood and duct flow rates. Therefore, it is imperative to consider the installation’s effects, in order to reduce worker safety risk and ensure continued compliance with environmental regulations. We explain what to consider before undertaking a new dust collector installation, such as: Whether adding…

Setting up and troubleshooting your pulse controller

Baghouse filters are cleaned when compressed air is blown into the filter to release dust buildup. A pulse controller times the burst of compressed air that is used to clean baghouse filters, a practice that improves baghouse efficiency and increases bag life. Types of pulse controllers Pulse controllers come in two types—a simple timer and…

Mechanical Separation

CYCLONE DUST COLLECTORS AND CLASSIFIERS To remove heavy particulates from air streams, such as in cabinet or furniture making, IVI uses mechanical separation filtration. Two common mechanical separation devices are cyclone dust collectors and classifiers. IVI designs these devices to fit any application to meet pressure drops and space requirements. CYCLONE DUST COLLECTORS Air enters…

Baghouse Dust Collection system

IVI has designed, fabricated and installed hundreds of long-lasting baghouse dust collection systems throughout North America for foundries, mining, pulp and paper, and a number of other industries. Our design team has custom-engineered baghouses to provide the most efficient capture and removal of dust for cleaner air quality and safer work environments.   IVI CAPABILITIES  FEATURES 

Budgeting for a Dust Collection System

We’ve put together a handy checklist to help you set a budget for a dust collection system. Everything from your dust collection system’s location to regulatory requirements and decisions about filters, waste discharge, stacks and fans will affect the overall budget. System testing and maintenance requirements are other factors that need to be considered. This checklist breaks down…

Dust Collection System Considerations – Part 2

Construction, Start-Up, Training & Maintenance Phases Building and Managing a Dust Collection System Many factors affect the performance of Dust Collection Systems. In a previous blog post, Dust Collection System Design Considerations – Part 1, we summarized five key considerations for the engineering and design phase of a dust collection system. The post was based…

Dust Collection Systems Considerations – Part 1

Dust collection systems are complex Many factors impact the overall effectiveness of the system. In order to ensure your dust collection system reaches peak performance, it’s critical to have the proper groundwork in the engineering and design phase. In the article, Guidelines for Operating and Maintaining Industrial Dust Control Exhaust Systems, the Engineers Collaborative identifies…
