Video Transcript An engineering study tells us and, more importantly, tells…
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…
Project Engineer Eli Brandenburg discusses how baghouse dust collectors differ and how IVI can help you custom design an industrial dust collector for your facility.
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…
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…
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…
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 Excel…
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…
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 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…
