Extraction at source
Identify where dust is generated, the extraction inlet arrangement and the required airflow. Increasing filter capacity alone may not resolve inadequate capture.
INDUSTRIAL FILTRATION
Dust collection and filtration for your process
A dust collection system is selected by considering extraction points, ductwork, the fan, filtration and dust discharge together. Compare Yurtfan central and local filter families.
How do you compare filter families?
| Filter family | Series | Initial assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Central and local Jet Pulse | YJF · YSJ | Central or local extraction and filtration needs. |
| Intake and special filters | YT · YEJ | Material intake and process-specific filter applications. |
| Local filters | YEL · YKL | Local process points such as elevators and conveyors. |
| Wet scrubbers | YSV | Processes requiring a wet-scrubbing approach. |
This table directs you to product families. Filter type and area are selected by assessing airflow, dust properties, temperature, moisture and the plant layout together.
Assess the complete system
Ductwork and fan
Ductwork and filter resistance affect the required fan operating point. Fan selection considers airflow, pressure and actual operating conditions.
Filtration and discharge
Filter elements, cleaning arrangements and dust discharge equipment are assessed for the process. Auxiliary equipment such as rotary airlocks forms part of the system.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Preparing the following information helps us assess your application and the appropriate product family. If a value is unavailable, describe the existing installation rather than guessing.
- Dust-generating process and number of extraction points.
- Airflow and any measured pressure or existing fan information.
- Dust properties, moisture, temperature and existing filter details.
- Layout sketch, duct route and dust discharge arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
How do central and local dust collection differ?
A central system connects different extraction points through common ductwork. A local solution focuses on a specific process point. The choice depends on extraction points, duct distances, dust properties and layout.
Can a filter be selected using airflow alone?
Airflow is a key input, but dust properties, moisture, temperature, filter area and cleaning conditions also require assessment.
Does a dust collection project need fan selection?
The fan supplies the air movement required for extraction and transport. Its operating point must be determined together with filter and duct resistance.
