01

How the equipment works

An expanded gas passage lowers average velocity so fast-settling particles can fall into the hopper during transit. Multiple trays reduce the distance particles must fall.

What to check for selection or replacement

Check maximum actual flow, particle size and density, inlet distribution, tray cleaning access and hopper discharge.

FAQ · Can it provide final fine-particle control?

Fine particles settle slowly. Assess precollection by size fraction and specify the load passed to the downstream collector.
