Dust Collector Controller

The Compressed Air Alliance Dust Collector Controller uses demand based monitoring to pulse the bags only when cleaning is needed. Pulse control can save you up to 50% of the compressed air being used and increase filter life by up to 30%.

Inbuilt sensors measure the performance of a dust collection installation then manage the number of pulse cleaning cycles.

The controller is can be retro-fitted to existing dust collectors in less than one hour and the savings start immediately.

Options:

  • Voltage: 24vDC or 100-240vAC
  • Extension cards (10 pulse valves per card)

The Compressed Air Alliance dust collector controller uses demand based monitoring to pulse the bags only when cleaning is needed. The pulse control differs to standard industrial dust collectors which use time based controls and significant amounts of compressed air to clean the collector bags. Pulse control can save you up to 50% of the compressed air being used and increase filter life by up to 30%.

This dust collector differential pressure controller optimises baghouse productivity. Inbuilt sensors measure the performance of a dust collection installation then manage the number of pulse cleaning cycles.

The controller is can be retro-fitted to existing dust collectors in less than one hour and the savings start immediately.

About Dust Collector Controllers

Where most baghouse dust collectors rely on continuous pulse cleaning processes to maintain plant efficiency the Compressed Air Alliance Controller provides an inbuilt differential pressure sensor to accurately measure the performance of a dust collection installation, and based on those measurements, manage the number of pulse cleaning cycles required to optimise baghouse productivity.

Pulse control can save you up to 50% of the compressed air being used and increased filter life of up to 30%.
This dust collector differential pressure controller optimises baghouse productivity. Inbuilt sensors measure the performance of a dust collection installation then manage the number of pulse cleaning cycles.

The controller is can be retro-fitted to existing dust collectors in less than one hour and the savings start immediately.

Selecting the right controller

When selecting the correct dust collector controller, match the:

  • available input power type and voltage (240VAC or 24VDC for example), and
  • ratings of the solenoid valves (240VAC or 24VDC for example).

Selecting the wrong controller or solenoid valves will result in damage to the equipment.

Why should you optimise baghouse productivity?

Optimising baghouse productivity can power can:

  • result in fewer cleaning cycles
  • reduce maintenance hours
  • use up to 50% less compressed air
  • extend filter life
  • reduce energy costs
  • reduce carbon emissions
