Self-Cleaning Cartridge Dust Collector Uses
Pleated Filter Cartridges
|
ULTRA-FLOW™
Cartridge dust collector, also
referred to as pleated filter or pleated bag
collector, are best
suited for light dust loads of fine dust or powder,
such as found in powder coating, welding fumes and
some grinding applications.

Advanced Technology means:
- Increased Efficiency through revolutionary
“high-ratio” design.
Promotes a uniform and stable filtering cake on the
filter media.
- Lower Operating Cost; The Hi-Tech cleaning
system reduces
compressed air consumption 30-50%.
- Filter life is increased 3-10 times over
contemporary designs.
- 30-40% lower fan/blower operating power
from lower pressure
drop through the collector
- Lower Initial Cost; smaller collector, less
filters, less cleaning
hardware.
- 15+ years of proven technology.
- Ceiling-Hung models are also available.
QAM also
offers
in-line spark arrestor
and
duct
cleaner - flow booster to prevent
fires and explosions. |

Features that Make the Difference
... high side inlets. This eliminates “can”
velocity which hangs dust up in the collector and dust dumping
directly onto cartridges.
... integral drop-out chamber...heavy and impulsive
dust load drops directly to the hopper. The rest of the
lighter dust is filtered by the by the cartridges.
A computer designed hi-tech accelerating nozzle assembly...forms
a perfect cleaning jet, sealing the top of the cartridges, and
produces 3.6 times more HP of energy to power the cleaning
jet. Compressed air consumption is lowered by up to 40%.
...high
efficiency cleaning system requires 1/2 the number of
cartridges compared to conventional designs.
Diaphragm valves ... at 125% of required flow, to
ensure 100% cleaning of the cartridges.
The cartridges are pulsed in vertical rows ... prevents
entrainment from the upper to lower cartridges.
Thousands of successful installations in woodworking,
welding fumes, grinding, carbon, plastics, pharmaceutical, sawdust,
sugar and paper dust applications.
