What Is a Dust Collector?
Dust collectors are machines used to remove dust, sediment, and other debris. They can be used at sewage treatment facilities and drainage facilities to rake, collect, and remove debris from rivers and streams.
There are two types of dust collection methods: the rake type and the rotating net type. The choice is based on the uses of the machine and the location where the dust collector will be installed.
In the rake type, pins are attached around the roller part, which rotates to break up the debris and rake it up from the water surface. In the rotating net type, debris is captured by rotating a net with a mesh that matches the size of the object to be removed.
In conjunction with a screen, it also prevents fine debris from passing through.
Uses of Dust Collectors
Dust collectors can collect and remove dust and debris, so they are used to remove debris and accumulated debris from rivers and streams where there is a flow toward the mouth of the river.
They are used in drainage facilities, etc., so that the natural flow of water can be discharged without interrupting the flow of water.
They are also used in various other places, such as agriculture, industrial water, water supply, sewage treatment facilities, and power plants.
Dust collectors can be equipped with a variety of functions to suit the uses of the equipment, such as using a pump to suck up the waste or a conveyor belt to carry the waste out of the area efficiently.
Principle of Dust Collectors
Dust collectors consist of a rotating cylindrical roller called a rake with needles attached to its circumference, which collect dust and dirt by breaking it into small pieces.
Since multiple rakes can be attached to the chain and rotated to use the rakes continuously, even when the amount of trash is large, multiple rakes can be installed to rake up the debris efficiently.
In addition, screens and nets are available in coarseness from fine to large, and by changing the size according to the object to be removed, the captured debris can be removed without letting it escape downstream.
