Modular Dust Collection Systems

Appcon designs and builds dust collectors and dust collection systems for a wide variety of applications. This modular dust collection system is stainless steel wash down duty construction built to USDA 3A sanitary standards. It is designed to be utilized in a wash down area in a dairy plant to aid in controlling dust generated from a small bag dumping process.​

​

The vessels are less than 8 cubic ft in dusty air volume, giving customers the option to install these vessels without explosion venting or suppression equipment. A corrosion resistant stainless steel support frame built from structural shapes eliminates potential material harborage points that can occur in hollow tube or pipe and allows for waste receptacles to be easily accessed beneath the dust collector outlets. 

​

A NEMA 4X rated reverse pulse jet filter cleaning system allows for automated filter cleaning during operation on an adjustable time schedule. Hinged covers with lift assists allow operators to access filter media safely. The manual butterfly discharge valve improves system safety by eliminating an automated pinch point. System modularity allows for the addition or removal of dust collector modules based on varying aspiration demands.

Portable Dust Collector

The Appcon portable dust collector (PDC) is designed to be compact and easy to mobilize. This operator-friendly unit can be utilized in applications requiring dust control for bag unloading stations, bag filling stations, and other powder handling processes generating excess dust.  Multiple points can be serviced at the same time.  This system has a stainless-steel frame equipped with an ergonomic push/pull handle and lockable caster wheels.  Appcon has followed sanitary design principles to eliminate harborage points and reduce the probability of foreign material buildup.  Additional unit features include a NEMA 4X stainless steel control panel and FDA-approved high efficiency filter elements.  All stainless steel wash down rated exhaust fans are available.  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹
