Dust Testing Services

Camfil reported its dust-testing services could help manufacturers understand the characteristics of dusts produced during operation. Such services include particle size analysis to determine the filtrate efficiency required; video microscopy to identify dust shape and characteristics for use in the equipment selection process; pycnometry to identify the dust’s true specific gravity; abrasion testing; and terminal velocity testing to determine air velocity required to lift the dust. Camfil APC also announced it offers ASHRAE/ANSI Standard 199 testing to provide manufacturers with real- world comparison data on emissions, pressure drop, compressed air usage, energy consumption and emission readings for Camfil APC dust collectors used in specific applications.

Separately, Camfil reported its Hemi- Pleat premium retrofit filter cartridges fit most leading dust collector brands and are guaranteed to last longer than standard filters. The filters are designed to expose more of the filter media to the air stream, which will boost the performance of industrial dust collectors. The series is available as the HemiPleast Green for standard applications; eXtreme to promote surface loading and the release of ultrafine particles; Flame-retardant for spark-generating applications; Carbon-impregnated to dissipate static on applications like plastics or combustible dusts; and Synthetic for moist or abrasive applications.
