ARE YOU WORRIED? Some people worry their dust collection system isn’t performing properly when there is visible dust on the filters.

IT’S JUST THE OPPOSITE!A controlled level of dust on your filters actually improves
the filtration efficiency by helping to filter out more
dust particles.

A dust collector automatically pulse-cleans its
filters using very brief bursts of compressed
air that blow the dirt off the filter surfaces and
down into a collection device.

MOST DUST COLLECTOR PANELS
OFFER A CHOICE OF THREE
PULSE-CLEANING METHODS:
1. Continuous Pulsing
2. On-Demand Pulsing
3. Downtime Pulsing

To maintain a controlled dust cake on filters, it is recommended that you pulse your dust
collection system as little as possible – avoiding continuous pulsing unless
absolutely necessary. This approach will also save on compressed air,
reducing the total cost of ownership to operate
your dust collection system.

If filters become totally blinded by heavy dust buildup, and/or the pressure drop reading has reached a level higher than the filter manufacturer’s recommended limit, it’s time to change the filters. However, even if this situation has not occurred, it’s a good idea to replace filters every two to three years at longest. An older filter may develop a hole or leak after time and will no longer deliver the guaranteed efficiency.
