Hydrotron HWF Series Dust Collector
Ducted Wet Type Dust Collector For Volatile Dust
The Filter 1 Hydrotron HWF Series dust collector is specifically designed for the capture of fine metal particles. The Filter 1 HWF series is a safe and economic method of cleaning these potentially volatile materials. With air volumes between 500 CFM and 5,000 CFM, the units can be connected via ductwork to the dust-generating machines for source capture. This water filter collector meets OSHA and NFPA regulations for dust collectors located inside the building.
Current Technology
Water Filter
Filter 1 Hydrotron wet dust collector systems purify air by a combination of centrifugal force and the violent mixing of water and contaminated air. As the airstream passes the fixed baffles, particulate is separated by a heavy, turbulent curtain of water created by a high-velocity air. The centrifugal force caused by the rapid changes in airflow direction forces the dust particles to penetrate the water droplets and become entrapped. Contaminated water is then removed from the airstream by special mist filters. Dust, as sludge, settles to the bottom and the water is reused.
Automatic Fill System
Water make up is controlled by a pressure sensor system that is unaffected by debris in the water. The system is operated by a solid-state programmable logic controller (PLC) and includes an electrical solenoid valve, isolation valve, and a manual fill/high-water sensor for reliable water control.
