Webinar Details:
Dust collection systems have been in use at plants in all industries in a myriad of applications around the world. All too often, the system operation can be poor due to a variety of issues with design, operation, and lack of maintenance. Even with a properly designed air mover, mistakes in design can lead to duct plugging, leaks, and system imbalance.
This webinar will discuss the five most critical rules to follow when you implement/design a dust collection system. These include:
- Determine the proper minimum conveying velocity
- Use balance-by-design branch layout
- Properly size the air mover
- Avoid common duct/piping design mistakes
- Don’t forget about the air/solids separator
