Combustible Dust Collector - Wet Type

Combustible Wet Dust Collectors

  • The use of additional dry filter medium, either downstream or combined with a wet collector, shall not be permitted
  • The dust collector shall be arranged so that contact between dust particles and particles moving at high speed is prevented (Fan must be located on clean air side)
  • Sludge shall be removed from the collector on a regular schedule. The sump of water wet-type dust collectors shall be ventilated from the top of the collector at all times.
  • The exhaust vent shall terminate outside the building and be securely fastened

NFPA 484 Summary

NFPA 484 Summary

The dust collector shall be arranged so that the dust laden air stream is thoroughly scrubbed by the liquid to achieve the desired efficiency. The duct shall be as short and straight as possible and shall be designed to withstand the same explosion pressure as the wet-type collector. The exhaust vent shall be inspected and cleaned to prevent build-up of highly combustible deposits of metal dusts on the interior surfaces of the duct.

Cleaned air shall be permitted to be returned to the work area where tests conducted by an approved testing organization prove the collector's efficiency is great enough to provide both personnel and property safety in the particular installation, with regard to particulate matter in the cleaned air and accumulations of particulate matter or hydrogen in the work area.

Testimonials Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with.

"We’re a resource recovery company. We selected two PLĒCO 30 HP portable vacuum systems configured for bulk pickup. Our customer just laughed at us when the Air Dynamics PLĒCO vacuums showed up. They actually said, ‘they‘d never work!’ Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with. The plant had a $100,000 central vacuum system; they even tried a “super sucker” with no decent results. The company gave up trying to recover the powdered tungsten themselves. We had their plant cleaned up in record time, even though the powdered tungsten weighed 1,150 pounds per cubic foot!"

Testimonials

"We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine. It has been a major help with maintaining clean floors and machines. We have also used it to unplug clogged pneumatic conveying lines where compressed air did not effectively work. In the past, we used brooms and compressed air to clean which caused the dust to float in the air, moving from surface to surface. The PLECO vacuum eliminates floating dust and its suction is powerful enough to get the fine dust out of the cracks and off the floor quickly. I like that it’s portable to move it where you need it."

Testimonials

"Daniel Lehman was so much more knowledgeable than the competition- probably more knowledgeable than anyone in the country, about industrial vacuums."

Testimonials We recommend Air Dynamics!

"Working with Air Dynamics was an incredibly enjoyable experience for our engineering firm. They brought expertise to the table that we did not necessarily have in-house, and they conveyed it in a way that was easy for us, our shareholders, and our executives to understand. We would recommend Air Dynamics for anyone looking for a pneumatic or material handling conveying solutions."

Testimonials

"We purchased the PLĒCO 8.5 HP vacuum for our powdered colors business. We chose this substantially built vacuum over a European import that didn’t offer what this American made system did. We purchased a second unit because the first system performed excellent even after filling the canister again and again without affecting the pressure drop across the filters at all.
