Emerson provides optimized cleaning performance and process control for dust collectors in many industries — from Floor to Cloud™.
Dust collectors are a form of air filtration system that protects employee health and machine operation in many industries, including concrete processing, grain and agriculture feed processing, food processing, and pharmaceutical production, among many others. The dust collection process can be energy-intensive, particularly in the generation and use of compressed air. Ensuring that a system keeps running efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably depends on many components, from cylinders and pulse valves to diagnostic software and sensing technology.
Emerson provides modular and end-to-end solutions that ensure optimized performance, tight control of costs and sustainable operations through advanced connectivity and 4.0 technology.
Dust collectors clean the air used in a wide variety of applications and industrial environments. They remove particulate matter that may impact the quality of the process, pose a threat to workers’ health, or reduce the overall air quality in the environment. Many dust collectors use a system that sends a pulse of compressed air through filters. This dislodges the dust that has caked on the surface to ensure optimal system functionality.
The performance and efficiency of a dust collector system depends on precise and reliable control of compressed air. High-flow, high-efficiency, and rapid-pulsing valves are the key to these objectives, as they enable the dust collection system to operate at peak pressure for optimized cleaning efficiency. The pressurized air breaks up caked dust in the filter for safe disposal.
Dust collection products include any piece of equipment that supports the actual collection of particulate matter and continued cleaning of the system; sensing equipment that monitors application conditions; and diagnostic components that assist predictive maintenance and optimized operations.
Products that support dust collection include pulse valves, pilot valves, pressure switches, proximity sensors, limit switches, filter regulators, air preparation units, tank systems, actuators and controllers, solenoid and pneumatic valves, and valve manifolds.
In many applications, there is a need for a solution that prevents excess emissions and process problems. Emerson has developed dust & pulse technology (DPT) to address these issues and enhance sustainability in dust collector systems by saving energy and reducing maintenance work. DPT enables early leakage detection, increases lifespan of filter bags, and real-time health diagnostics of filtration systems through a real-time malfunction alarm system and machine health diagnostics. With our Movicon SCADA solution, operators can easily monitor running performance with 3D models of one or multiple dust collectors.
Precise and reliable control of compressed air is essential to optimize dust collector system cleaning performance and efficiency. For operation at peak efficiency and cleaning, the system depends on high-flow, high-efficiency valves must function with extremely short response times and fast pulsing. Robust design reduces downtime and helps dust collector manufacturers create more cost-efficient systems, even in hazardous or extreme conditions.
