Airex - Model Platinum Series -Cartridge Dust Collector
Airex Industries PlatinumTM Series Dust Collectors are different from other dust collectors. Their ability to filter highly-contaminated air volumes in an extremely compact format is what sets them apart from the rest. As part of an efficient compressed air self-cleaning system, the cartridges allow for the continuous filtration of sub-micron dust particles with a constant differential pressure loss. Our PlatinumTM dust collectors have doors and a manual cam system that require no tools and allows for an easy cartridge change out.
Main Advantages At A Glance
High Filtration Capacity
Models from 2 to 224 cartridges and up to 100 000 CFM capacity.
Custom Engineering
Special needs and custom designs available with PlatinumTM systems.
Low Inital Cost
The optimization of our design and assembly technics allows us to offer highly competitive prices.
Vertical Cartridge Design
Unlike horizontal cartridge designs that reduce filtering surface efficiency by up to 30%, Airex Industries PlatinumTM series dust collectors maintain a 100% filtration rate at all times.
The dust-laden gases enter through the side intake of the dust collector’s hopper, under vacuum or pressure (except for bin vents, where the air comes in from the bottom).
The gases are then filtered through the cartridges and exit through the openings into the clean air plenum. The clean air can either be channeled outside or re-circulated depending on the application.
Fast, Simple and Safe Cartridge Replacement
Cartridge replacement is performed outside the dust collector and requires no tools. This eliminates the need to work within a confined space and allows the worker to access the cartridge without getting dirty. The cartridge comes with a rectangular top plate that simplifies manipulation and eliminates potential installation errors.
Continuous Operation
Unlike other types of dust collectors such as the shaker, the cartridge dust collector does not have to be stopped in order to remove and clean dust particles from its filters.
Economical
The cartridge dust collector is an economical choice because it requires minimal maintenance: only periodic cartridge replacement is necessary (depending on the application).
In terms of performance, one of the most important criteria during the initial design of a dust collection system is the proper selection of the filtering media.
There are several cartridge models providing adaptation flexibility based on the characteristics of the various types of aerosols. The filtration effectiveness of Airex cartridges can achieve a level equivalent to HEPA, classified as MERV 16. In fact, a single cartridge has a total filtering surface that can reach up to 315 sq. ft. The compact aspect of such a filtering medium makes it a highly prized solution when the available space is limited.
End Cap and Gaskets
Our standard end caps are made of galvanized metal (16" x 14.25") while our D-Shape gaskets are fabricated with continuous rubber (0.5" W x 0.625" H).
Operation Temperature
Cartridges maximum continuous operating temperature is 250 °F (120 °C) while the maximum short term operating temperature can reach up to 295 °F (145 °C).
Weight and Dimensions
- Weight : 22 lb
- Height : 36"
- Outside diameter : 12.75"
- Inside diameter : 8.3"
How The Cartridges Dust Collector Works
The dust-laden gases enter through the side intake of the dust collector’s hopper, under vacuum or pressure (except for bin vents, where the air comes in from the bottom).
The gases are then filtered through the cartridges and exit through the venturis into the clean air plenum. The clean air can either be channeled outside or re-circulated depending on the application.
