To use the Dump Clean, an operator opens the cover and sets the bag or sack on the material loading grate. As the bag is opened and the material discharged through the grate into the hopper, an exhaust fan quietly draws ambient air downward, capturing and carrying any airborne dust particles into the enclosed filter chamber before they could escape into the workplace. The powder or other bulk material is automatically conveyed downtream from the integrated hopper.

At the same time, the dust-laden air is drawn through the filter media, safely capturing any dust inside the dump station. To maintain continuous dust removal capabilities, each filter is automatically cleansed by a PLC-based, reverse-flow method using short bursts of compressed air. The effect is a brief, controlled inflation of the filtration membrane causing accumulated dust to dislodge and fall safely into the discharge hopper located beneath the collector. These particulates are recovered and returned into the process as usable material rather than lost as material waste.

Ambient combustible dust clouds, messy floors, and their potential safety risks are virtually eliminated.
