How dust collector filter media is created is far more difficult than most realize so here are the most important factors you should know about replacement filters for dust collectors to ensure you maximize their performance.
#1. If the supplier of your dust collector filters has the ability to optimize the interaction between the performance of your dust collector and the filter media as one coherent system, you will surely benefit from a more stable and reliable operation. Not to mention that the operating costs will be much lower.
#2: The development of replacement filters for dust collectors is a very highly involved process that includes the testing of raw materials and properties of filter media. Several technologies are used to evaluate media components to ensure the optimal design and materials are being utilized to appropriately suit your application requirements.
#3: The manufacturing process for the filters involves many steps but it all starts in identifying the requirements of the application. These specifications are identified not only for the finished product but more importantly for the final filtration system in which the filter will be incorporated.
#4. There are many factors that have to be taken into account in developing the replacement filters for your dust collectors, including the type and amount of material being filtered by the media filter, minimum efficiency levels, chemical composition of contaminants, and the physical environment in which the filter will be used or exposed. Also, aspects like pressure drop, temperature, humidity, vibration, and of course, the cost play a big role as well.
#5. Finally, you have to always keep in mind that if the filter does not handle the challenges of the operation of your dust collector, or it gets clogged very quick, the interruption, downtime and repair or replacement expenses make it a poor option. So, maximizing the various performance measures is the key to overall collector performance.
