DUST COLLECTOR FOR MASTERBATCH

GPT Dust Extractors is a very cost effective device for removing dust generated during production of Masterbatch through Twin Screw extruders, Kneader & Banbury machines, Mixing tanks, reactors  process. More than 90% dust of pigments coming from the outlet of these machines can be extracted by the dust collector. If you need such a device, just contact us and we will tailor an optimal one according to the layout of your plant.

The Dust Extraction System Installation:

Our experienced team of fitters installed the system over the space of a week. 

The dust extraction filter installed was one of our GPPJ-123 auto shaker models with 2 x 15kW main extraction fans, this filter is a compact unit with the motors located within the top section of the main filter unit and then encompassed by an acoustic silencer to reduce output noise. The unit is ATEX 22 compliant with the explosion panels located to the rear of the filter unit. The unit has a fully automated electrical control panel which is located in an adjacent room with emergency stop buttons at various points around the building. 

Once the dust has been extracted into the main dust extraction filter it is then simply collected in heavy duty plastic bags located within the two steel waste bins at the bottom of the filter. The bins can then be easily uncliped from the main filter and slid forward allowing a cable tie to be placed around the plastic bags to seal, enabling safe removal of the dust and minimising the contamination risk to personnel carrying out this task. 

We added additional pvc curtain strips around these capture hood (as you can see from the video/ photo appended). This serves two purposes; firstly to help contain any airborne dust particles within this enclosure and secondary to enable manual loading of the hopper.

A pneumatic blast gate damper is installed at high level to enable the customer to add a future either/or extraction point on to this system should their requirements change. 

Vacuum extraction points were installed throughout the system to further aid with house keeping. This allows personel to safely vacuum any dust on a regular basis and keep the whole area clean & tidy. 

On completion of the installation commissioning is carried out to provide the customer with LEV certification for the system.

The customer now has a system that will serve them well for years to come.
