How a GPC Dust Collector Improved Dust Collection Efficiency for Shot Blast Dust
A US facility that handles shot blast dust had recently experienced some dangerous events with its cartridge collector. The company’s collector had caught fire from the shot blast dust, which destroyed the filters completely. Needing to find a new and safer industrial dust collection solution, the company turned to Aerodyne for assistance.
Aerodyne suggested the company use a GPC-54 with explosion vents located on it to prevent any further fires or damage to the process and facility. Explosion vents help prevent any sparks from passing through to the cartridge collector, which will eliminate the hazardous potential. The GPC will provide 99% removal of 20 micron metal dust with a pressure drop around 3” W.C. (water column). The GPC Dust Collector is a compact, high-efficiency cyclone dust collector with several distinct advantages over conventional cyclone dust collectors. The spiral inlet of the GPC directs the dirty gas stream toward the ground plate and hopper of the collector. Coupled with the compact size of the collector, this allows the GPC to be installed horizontally with virtually no effect on dust collection efficiency, making it an excellent addition to an industrial dust collection system.
Aerodyne also suggested the company use an 8” H-Valve in the process as well, to better handle the material flow.
