Selecting the Right High Temperature Dust Collector Filters for Your Industry
Many industrial processes are known to be associated with high temperatures and require specialized filter media to provide performance requirements and resistance under extreme temperatures. High-temperature dust collector filters are used in various industrial processes across a range of applications and industries including pharmaceutical, automotive, cement, food processing, and more.
Industry Applications and Temperature Requirements
Pharmaceutical processing and production facilities have set temperature and humidity control levels that are tailored to the type of product. Storage conditions for pharmaceuticals range between 59° F and 77° F with relative humidity levels around 50 percent. When pharmaceuticals are stored in temperatures that are too high or too low, the chemical stability will likely be impacted — that means that the drug may degrade and form impurities.
When it comes to the automotive industry, vehicle exhaust is produced during engine combustion, causing it to be very hot. The overall average temperature of vehicle exhaust ranges anywhere from 300° - 500° but can reach levels as high as 1200° — if there is an issue or constriction in the exhaust system, such as exhaust pipe bends.
Cement is produced by heating crushed limestone and other ingredients in a rotary kiln, to make clinker, a substance that is milled to a fine powder to develop cement.
When the materials that create cement are put into the rotary kiln the temperature is raised to 2500°. During the production of cement, temperatures are very high and high volumes of dust are produced, creating damage and safety risks, if not properly filtered and controlled.
Many food processing plants handling sugar, wheat starch, powdered milk, and/or tapioca are at risk of combustible dust explosions. High-temperature dust collector filters are specifically built to capture and filter explosive food dust.
When handling explosive food dust, high-temperature filters, and deflagration protection are required to meet NFPA regulations and prevent the dust from accumulating and igniting.
The high-temperature air that is generated during these industrial processes contains dust, fumes, and other air contaminants that are unsafe when released into the air stream. The temperatures that are produced can range anywhere from the hundreds and exceed into the thousands. When dealing with high-temperature applications, it is crucial to have the proper dust collection system and filter media in place to avoid equipment damage and failure, as well as, health and safety risks.
High-Temperature Filter Manufacturing and Supply
Understanding the manufacturing landscape and supply chain is crucial for sourcing high-quality, cost-effective high-temperature dust collector filters for your specific needs. These manufacturers are ISO-rated and known for their quality, and we represent them all.
While there are just a handful of dust collector filter manufacturers, there are many dust collector companies — these companies don't manufacture filters and are not in the filter business, but they do profit from them. To help cut costs, we cut out the middleman to provide businesses with the same filters at lower prices.
The high-temperature dust collector filters provided by ACS, Inc. are made to replace the most popular brands in the industry, including Camfil, Donaldson Torit, DustHog, RoboVent, AAF, and more! The majority of our dust collector replacement filters have a nanofiber option with sub-micron particulate filtration and are manufactured to provide a longer filter life and air that is cleaner than industry standards.
