Filtration System:
A Self-Cleaning (16) and (4) Cartridge Dust Collector is installed outside and ducted into the building. A Cyclone Pre-Cleaner is installed before the Cartridge Collector to remove larger particulate from the airstream before it reaches the Cartridge Filters. Due to the explosive nature of aluminum dust, the units are equipped with Explosion Relief Panels, thus meeting local Fire Code and National Fire Protection Agency requirements.
