FAQs
Quick answers to your most common questions.
How Do I Size My Wet Dust Collector?
What is the process?
- Sanding
- Polishing
- Grinding
- Sawing
- Abrasive Blasting
What is the CFM requirement of your process equipment?
Is the metal processing equipment in an enclosure and if so, what are the room dimensions?
How far do you plan to place the wet collector away from the processing equipment?
Long duct runs and multiple elbows lower CFM production and might require going to a larger collector.
Some common combustible metals:
- Aluminum
- Magnesium
- Titanium
- Zirconium
- Alkali Metals
Some combustible dusts are not suitable for wet dust collection. Sinkable dusts work best for our wet dust collectors. A simple test can determine if the dust is sinkable. Place dust in a small jar filled with water. Shake the jar and see if the dust floats or sinks.
