Wet Dust Collectors
PWDC-5: 5 HP Portable Wet Dust Collector
The Apex model PWDC-5HP wet dust collector is designed to filter the air by removing particulates from the air being exhausted into a wet chamber reducing the possibility of sparks catching fire in certain applications.
What Is a Wet Dust Collection System?
Industrial wet dust collectors, or scrubbers, use liquid to remove dust and airborne contaminants from exhaust air. Air passes through a liquid bath, where particles are trapped by liquid and clean air is discharged.
These systems provide several benefits:
- Safety: Wet dust collectors minimize explosion risk by dampening and neutralizing combustible dust. They cool particles and trap fine particulates and soluble contaminants to improve workplace air quality. You can also configure some systems for gas-phase contaminant removal, removing chemical odors and gases.
- Efficiency: Industrial dust collectors handle fine particulate and sticky dust that can clog dry filters, potentially minimizing maintenance and downtime.
- Compliance: Using wet dust collectors can help you meet standards for combustible dust safety and other workplace safety standards.
- Versatility: Wet dust collectors manage dust from plastics, composites, metals and more.
- Cost savings: Dust machine collectors may lower your insurance premiums and could potentially reduce the need for expensive explosion venting or suppression systems. Less frequent filter changes can also result in less filter wear and longer filter life.
If your operation involves grinding, sanding, deburring or other metal processing, Apex Machine Group specialists can advise if a wet dust collector fits your needs.
PWDC-5HP Portable Wet Dust Collector
The PWDC-5HP has 1,250 cubic feet per minute (CFM) airflow and heavy-duty casters for easy placement. With a five HP totally enclosed fan-cooled main motor and standard steel construction, this heavy-duty unit is moisture- and dust-resistant for industrial environments. Marine powder coating adds corrosion resistance.
Stop and start buttons and a self-contained IP-54 electrical enclosure further protect the electrical components from dust and moisture, while overload protection minimizes downtime.
Apex’s PWDC-5HP wet dust collector simplifies maintenance with a front-access door that makes washing out material and filling with water easy. Empty the unit quickly thanks to a manual valve and a large drain, and keep track of the water level with a clear sight gauge.
