Our new FX Series dust collectors are expandable in design. A typical machine is comprised of a fan or blower (s) and a filter bag/discharge point plenum. The size of the discharge plenum is determined by a given design volume of airflow and the waste volumetric requirements of the application. The leg assemblies can be bolted onto the unit, either on the end, or at the mid span of the dust collector.
These component parts can be assembled at the factory or can be assembled by the client.
To reduce shipping costs, the system can be stacked on a single, smaller skid as opposed to shipping a 14-foot long machine.
Future system expansion is accomplished by simply adding an additional blower and filters to the system. In today's work cell manufacturing environment, this design can conserve energy by allowing a shop owner to run only a portion of the dust extraction as opposed to a large 50+ Horsepower system to service only a fraction of the shop's overall requirement.
In addition, the factory and regional master distributors stocking the standard components will be able to drastically reduce lead-time for a custom dust collector. The design promotes customized machinery from off-the-shelf components. |
