Shaker Filter Units
FX Series Auto Shaker Dust Filter Units
Our FX Series dust collectors are designed to be used with extraction systems, on a variety of dusts from processes that are used intermittently, offering an effective solution to dust extraction problems.
Contaminated air from the dust generation source is drawn through the inlet to the collector by the fan. Initially some pre-separation takes place as heavier dust particles lose momentum and fall into the dust container or hopper. Finer dusts are carried up to the filter elements where they are retained on the outer surface of the filter fabric. The cleaned air is then passed through the filter fabric into the fan chamber and discharged.
At the end of the production period the extraction is switched off at the control panel. A timer instigates a delay to allow extraction to come to rest, followed by a 30 – 60 second shaker motor clean cycle, which mechanically oscillates the filter sleeves dislodging the excessive dust burden, which falls under gravity into the waste bin.
This process is designed to reduce the pressure loss across the filter media there by maintain extraction volume rates.
There are a number of configurations of the Filtex range which are tailored to suit the requirements of any particular collection process.
