ProVent - Model Uni-Wash NFPA 660 -Ducted Wet Dust Collector

Wet dust collection is vital for safely gathering combustible metal dust, NFPA 660 (Previously NFPA 484), and it has proven effective in various challenging environments, including food processing and pharmaceuticals, as an alternative to cartridge collectors. Our scrub design, a longstanding industry standard for over 50 years, remains at the forefront of wet dust collection efficiency.

Uni-Wash wet dust collectors meet NFPA 660 (Previously NFPA 484) standards for capturing combustible metal dusts from processes involving aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium (when paired with the AccuScrub Control Panel).

If your process involves these materials, Uni-Wash collectors significantly reduce fire and explosion risks, ensuring worker safety and compliance. They are self-contained with minimal water usage after initial fill and boast straightforward installation and start-up.

Orifice / Impingement Scrub

The large diameter, patented scrub cone assembly inside our UC series dust collector works above the water line.  This orifice/impingement design never clogs or loses airflow as with submerged internal venturi designs which gum-up and impede flow over time. There are no pumps or spray nozzles to clog or fail with the Uni-Wash design.

Low-Cost Operation

Using water as a filtration medium has its advantages for our UC series dust collector. Collected dust resides as a sludge in the bottom of the sump for easy removal or can simply be drained away. There are no disposable filters to replace saving money and air borne contamination hazard. Our scrub design also leads to a lower static pressure requirement in the machine, which means less horsepower is required. This lowers the cost of the machine and saves energy over the life of the machine.

High Efficiency Fan Assemblies

Scrolled fans substantially increase efficiency by reducing pressure needed to operate at a given CFM. We combine this with direct drive high efficiency motors.  The result is lower operating costs over the lifetime of the equipment.

ProVent, A Name You Can Trust

The Uni-Wash UC series wet dust collector has been continuously manufactured for over 50 years and continues to be the leading technology for capturing dust without the added cost of cloth filter media. Initially designed for the safe collection of combustible metal dusts, manufacturers have utilized this technology in many other difficult applications with success in more recent years.
