0.2 micron Cartridges or Bag Filter

Posted in: , on 6. Oct. 2006 - 12:18

Dear All,

I'm handling a toner which particle size only about 0.2um. But it seems that existing deduster can work well as powder too fine.

Could you please let me know which company can supply a deduster which filter can trap such fine powder.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Frank

Sintered PE is great for this application. I am assuming that you are using a small system of less than 4 to 6 cubic meters per minute.

A system can be used were the toner dust enters the collector from the top and falls to the collection bin. The sintered PE filter would do the filtering on the inside. I suspect this materials does not settle-out to well.

Contact me. I know some companies that make sintered plastic media that would work for this application.

We have experience with Xerox and Oce toner. The size of 0.2 microns is very low. From experience, we know that a relative low percentage of toner has these particle size.

How to handle it:

- Use bag filter or better polyethylene sintered filter. Low specific load of 50 m3/h/m2 of filter surface;

- use after filter with Hepa H13 Class to garantuee a clean emmission.

We have done it in this way. We don't have any problems with it. Be carefull with toner and the processing with air. Toner is in potential sensitive for dust explosion. We supply all the equipment with the neccessary explosion safety.

Succes
