Industrial Dust Collectors Keeps Production of Airline’s Interiors from Being Grounded

A manufacturer specializing in interior components for a major airline was experiencing issues with its industrial dust collectors. The facility uses vacuum hoses to collect Styrofoam that is transported to three cartridge collectors. However, larger pieces of Styrofoam were clogging the cartridge collectors, resulting in frequent downtime to clean the filters and reduced production. Looking for a solution, the company contacted Aerodyne Environmental for recommendations.

Knowing the common challenges associated with baghouse and cartridge collectors, Aerodyne recommended installing a GPC Dust Collector ahead of the existing cartridge collectors. The GPC is a compact, high-efficiency cyclone dust collector with several advantages over conventional cyclone dust collectors. Its spiral inlet directs the dirty gas stream toward the ground plate and hopper. Combined with its compact design, this allows the GPC to be installed horizontally with virtually no reduction in dust collection efficiency. This innovative design helps improve the performance of virtually any dust collection system.

Installing the GPC Dust Collectors ahead of the cartridge collectors provided several important benefits. Because the Styrofoam passes through the GPC before reaching the cartridge collectors, filter life is significantly extended. Instead of filling with product quickly, the filters require less frequent replacement, reducing dust collector maintenance and operating costs.

In addition, the GPC Dust Collector requires less maintenance than cartridge collectors alone. By capturing the bulk of the material before it reaches the filters, the system improves the overall performance of the industrial dust collection system, reduces maintenance time, lowers operating costs, and supports more effective industrial dust control.
