Wet Dust Collector

Let Us Worry About The Details While You Think About The Rest !

Airex is working on creating the next generation of wet dust collector.

Our experienced team of engineers have created a unit that is unsurpassed in quality and offers the highest efficiency rates in the industry.

The unique core and polypropylene impinger puts us way ahead of our competitors for maintenance and ease of operation.
Because our controls are simple and state-of-the-art, using our system is a breeze.

Advantages

Eliminates sparks and fire risk
Deflectors force sparks into submerged water bath;

Regulations
Meets OSHA and NFPA regulations;

Mist eliminator
Is supplied with washable filters;

Energy savings
Recirculates air (saves heat and cooling) by re-using filtered air volume instead of evacuating polluted air;

Controls
Plug and play simple systems which are pre-wired and pre-tested in our factory.

How the Hydrocyclone Filtration System Works

1. A centrifugal pump pushes contaminated water containing particles through a filtration circuit.
   
   
2. A hydrocyclone separates 90% of the solid particles over 40 microns from the water using centrifugal force. Solids are then evacuated to a sedimentation tank.
   
   
3. Thanks to an automated valve, the sedimentation tank is periodically drained to a waste water tank that recovers a large amount of mud.
   
   
4. A distribution manifold returns water to the Wetrex^tm to prevent accumulation of solids at the bottom.
   
   
5. The addition of a valve network allows the system to bypass the filter during component replacement and maintenance.

Available Water Filtration System Configuration Which Best Suits Your Needs

Option A - manual sludge removal
Designed for applications involving light dust loading, this option is ideal for those looking for a wet dust collector with low initial cost. Sludge must be removed manually from the basin as there is no filtration system offered. Basin cleaning is made easy thanks to the angled Wetrex^tm front access. The cleaning frequency depends on the amount of particles contained in the contaminated air.

Option B - hydrocyclone filtration system
The combination system is designed for moderate to heavy dust loads and applications requiring 24 hour continuous service. With this option, the collected material is pumped either continuously or intermittently through a water filtration system that relies on hydrocyclone technology.  Compared to the basic system, this type of system involves less frequent maintenance.

Optimal operating conditions
The majority of particles (50% and more) must be bigger that 40 microns to justify the use of a hydrocyclone.

The Wetrex™ Series Is At The Heart Of Many Other Products Like The WDDT™

Airex Industries has been working diligently to produce a self-contained workstation with an integral wet dust collector system.

This unit draws the dust directly into the water filter system, forcing the hazardous particles into a water bath before entering our upright mist elimination chamber and filters.

Our wet downdraft tables meet OSHA and NFPA standards for dust collectors located inside the building.

The series is available with one or two (back-to-back) work tables.

Available Features

Transparent sides
The plexiglass workstation enclosure provides containment.

Standard LED lighting
To assist users, all our work tables are equipped with standard light-emitting diodes.

Grates
Different materials are available depending on the application; steel, wood, fiberglass and aluminium.

Added environmental control
The optional regain air system enhances capture velocity by returning a portion of the clean, filtered air through an air curtain located across the top of the booth. This allows the dust to be pushed away from the worker’s breathing zone while it simultaneously pulls it into the open table grate.
