Nano-fiber filtration combined with SFC dust filter

Call it “the best of both worlds”! Today for Dust collectors to perform to their full potential and to your expectations It is important to utilize the nanofiber filter's advanced surface loading capability. Instead of general product filters Combining nanofiber filtration with an improved downward flow dust collector results in fewer pulse cleaning cycles. (less compressed air usage) and significantly longer filter life Most importantly, this combination, in addition to maximizing overall system efficiency and performance, It also significantly saves energy and operating costs.

Downward dust collectors (Fig. 1) are one of the most common devices used to remove harmful pollutants from processes such as grinding, polishing, and thermal blasting. and the production of graphite, ink dyes, silica, talc and toner that produce sub-micron dust particles. These air pollution removal systems are critical in helping you control the air quality in your factory. Increase employee productivity and maintain the efficiency of your production equipment.

Selecting a properly designed downward flow dust filter is critical to providing clean air in the workplace. Although there are many factors to consider when evaluating the performance and quality of a cartridge collector, But two elements are important to your purchase/use decision:

• Quality of filter media
• efficiency of Mechanism cleaning

Both factors have a huge overall impact on the quality of air you'll receive and the lifespan of your filter. If your accumulator is missing one of these two factors, Your dust collection system will not work to its full potential.

 

Filtration technology

Cartridge dust filter There are two basic types. In the current market:

• Traditional product filter
• Latest technology Filter Advanced nanofiber

They vary according to the type of surface material and coating used. Traditional commodity filters are straight cellulose (Fig. 2), with one layer of homogeneous cellulose fibers. Composite cellulose filters generally consist of 80 percent cellulose and 20 percent synthetic fibers. Sometimes these commodity filters come with a fusible surface layer added to improve their efficiency in capturing sub-micron sized particles.

As shown in Figure 2, if you view the cartridge filter media at large magnification, You will see gaps or “holes” the smaller the hole. The better the medium will be at capturing fine particles. The best way to do this is to use the smallest fibers possible.

Figure 2: Commodity filter 600x

The most technologically advanced and effective filters are nanofiber filters. These filters, like genuine advanced nanofiber tubes, Use fiber size 1/1,000 micron (Fig. 3)

Figure 3: Nano Fiber Filter 600x

How small are these fibers? Consider that there are 25,400. micron in one inch The lower limit of visibility to the naked eye is 40 microns, and the average skin pore is 10 microns. Because of this, the very thin nanofiber layer on the filter cartridge is able to capture submicron-sized particles and trap them on the surface of the medium. Nanofiber filters have been scientifically proven to outperform commodity filters in three key quality measures: efficiency, pressure drop, and emissions

 

higher efficiency

The fibers that make up the nanofiber filter are produced using an innovative electrostatic process. This results in the best synthetic fibers used in today's filtration products. The thin fibers create a permanent mesh-like surface with extremely small openings or pores. small opening These are extremely effective at filtering even sub-micron sized particles (less than 1 microns) from the contaminated air stream.

To rank filter performance, the MERV1 (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) system is considered the industry's accepted benchmark. The higher the MERV (figure 4), the better the filter's efficiency and ability to remove submicron-sized dust particles from the air and reduce emissions. MERV ratings are based on a 1 to 20 scale and are divided into three particle size ranges:

• Range 1 – 0.30 to 1.0 microns
• Range 2 – 1.0 to 3.0 microns
• Range 3 – 3.0 to 10.0 microns

Standard commodity filters generally have a MERV rating of 10 and are rated to capture only particles 1.0 microns and larger. This is the highest standard cartridge filter used to capture industrial dust. This means that the filter is between 85 – 95 percent effective at trapping particles size 0.30 to 1.0 microns in the 1 range and greater than 90 percent effective at capturing particles size 1.0 microns or higher in the 2 and 3 range.

as specified Commodity filters don't work well either. The important point is They are not efficient enough to be rated in the 1 range because they cannot capture dust that is in the 0.30 to 1.0 micron range. In the 2 range, commodity filters are only rated to be effective in only 50 to 65 percentages. Importantly, this means that micron level dust will flow through the commodity filter and back into your employees' work areas and breathing zones. For reference Manufacturing of the following products that produce micron level dust can be a major problem with commodity filtration systems:

• Graphite 0.3 Micron
• Ink color 0.1 micron
• Silica 0.5 Micron
• 0.5 micron powder
• 0.5 Micron Toner

Figure 4: MERV Rating vs. Filter Type

Although MERV is the most accurate performance measure available, But a filter should not be selected based on MERV alone. Other criteria such as pressure drop, cleanability use of compressed air and filter lifespan It is important to consider the overall performance and lifetime cost of the filter. Commodity filters with a fusible layer may achieve higher MERV levels but operate at a higher pressure drop. Has a shorter lifespan and requires additional compressed air and electrical energy to operate.

 

The pressure drop is lower.

The surface layer of the nanofiber filter provides the highest possible filtration efficiency. For this reason, this nanofiber layer does all the work. It prevents particles from building up inside the filter substrate. and restrict air flow As a result, pressure does not build up as quickly as using a product filter. Due to low pressure drop Your dust collection system therefore requires less energy to operate. And you can use a smaller, cheaper blower.

 

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

In addition to removing small particles from the air, Nanofiber filters also reduce the amount of dust that escapes back into the workplace air.

An inevitable by-product of the filter cleaning process is that a small percentage of the accumulated dust is released into the atmosphere. This is because nanofiber filters require less frequent pulse cleaning. Total exhaust emissions are thus reduced.

 

Product filters typically release 35 times more dust back into the atmosphere than our nanofiber filters.

cleaning system technology

Most cartridge dust filters use pulse jet cleaning technology (Fig. 5) to expel dust from the filter into the collection tank. while cleaning the air in the factory The system cartridge is cleaned periodically with compressed air directed through the filter center, causing the dust to “ripple” into the drawer or hopper for easy removal.

Although all pulse jet cleaning systems have a similar concept, But they differ in important ways that directly affect cleaning efficiency. Ease of use and the service life of the filter

Nozzle and Venturi design

The nozzle and venturi are key components of a pulse jet cleaning system. The design determines the cleaning efficiency that can be achieved with each blast of air. By optimizing the distance of the compressed air nozzle and perfecting the shape of the venturi. This makes it possible to spray air rhythmically at a precisely calculated distance. It has enough power to clean the entire filter length completely.

 

Filter supported

 

Ability to clean the entire length of the filter.

The maximum pulse power allows the pulse jet cleaning system to remove particles from the entire length of the cartridge filter. Systems with poorly designed injectors and venturi and/or with internal filter support May experience difficulty in overcoming high wind speeds. These systems generally do not clean the filter portion closest to the cleaning system thoroughly.

 

The best of both worlds

As mentioned at the beginning of this article. today to keep the dust filter in operation. The advanced surface loading capacity of nanofiber filters must be used to their full potential. And the flow-down cartridge dust cleaning system must be optimized to reap the maximum benefit from the surface-load filter. The combination of these two components directly results in fewer pulse cleaning cycles. (less compressed air usage) and significantly longer filter life

 

Use less compressed air

The cartridge collector's pulse-jet cleaning system can remove dust more easily. Nanofiber filters, because dust remains on the surface, not deep within the surface as happens with commodity filters. Therefore, each pulse is more effective. The system pulses using less and less compressed air. Product filters may pulsate up to 17 times more than filters thanks to our advanced nanofiber filtration technology.

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a manufacturing facility. It takes about eight horsepower of electricity to create one horsepower of compressed air. As time passes Additional use of deep-loaded commodity filter media can significantly increase costs, for example if the air flow is 20.4 SCFM at six pulses. per minute, the compressed air cost of the 32 Cartridge Filter-based system is approximately 1,279 USD Compressed air costs for the same system using genuine advanced nanofiber filters are approximately 191 USD or savings. 1,088 US dollars per year (based on a working dust collection system 4,160 hours/year and energy cost 10 cents/kWh)

 

Longer filter life

This is because the nanofiber filter creates a lower pressure drop and requires fewer pulse bursts. The stress on the filter is thus reduced. This results in a longer filter life. Advanced nanofiber filtration technology extends filter life two times more than is possible with commodity filters. and reduce replacement costs in half

Cartridge dust filters are a significant investment that affects the efficiency of your equipment and the health of your employees. To achieve the highest return on investment and provide the safest working environment possible. The best option is to choose a surface-loaded nanofiber filter and a specially optimized dust collection system to get the most out of the filter's capabilities.

Maintenance and service

Particles that accumulate on the top of the filter are easily removed by rotating the filter. The dust will drop directly into the tank. Not to the maintenance staff. And because maintenance personnel do not need to change nanofiber filters as often as product filters, Cartridge replacements are therefore less frequent and machine downtime is kept to a minimum.

 

Cabinet quality

 

Extra flexibility

 

smaller footprint

The combination of Hannifin SFC's patented cleaning system along with the use of nanofiber cartridge filters also allows for a higher air-to-media ratio. This may reduce the size of the dust collector and the number of filter cartridges required. This saves a lot of costs.

 

Factory support

Some equipment modification is required for large dust collection installations. Therefore, it is important to use a knowledgeable manufacturer representative who has access to plant application engineers. This ensures that your equipment will meet all environmental requirements and function effectively well into the future.
