AFC Dump Clean™ Bag Dump Station
Dependable dust control Customized for your application
What is it
The AFC Dump Clean™ is a bag break station that prevents nuisance dust from escaping into the plant environment when emptying bags, boxes or drums of dusty material into a process stream.
How it works
An operator opens the cover and the Dump Clean automatically keeps it safely in place while a bag or sack is set on the material loading grate and opened to release the powder or other material. An exhaust fan quietly draws ambient air downward through the grate, capturing and carrying any airborne dust particles into the enclosed filter chamber before they could escape into the workplace.
Dust-laden air is drawn through the filter media, where dust is retained inside the dump station. To maintain continuous dust removal capabilities, each filter is automatically cleansed by a 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.
"It works great!" A very reliable piece of equipment that we depend on
in our day to day operations.
