Filtered receiving cyclone Foremost Machine Builders has introduced a filtered receiving cyclone, which is used with positive-pressure blowers to unload scrap granulators. The cyclone separates the plastic from the conveying air, which is evacuated through the gas exhaust, while the plastic is discharged at the bottom. It features automatic pulse-jet filter cleaning, a 6-inch-diameter discharge and has various options for inlet diameters. It can be used with blowers that move up to 900 cubic feet of air per minute, with line sizes up to 5 inches in outer diameter.
What's new? The product, which was developed in response to customer requests to resolve dust problems.
Benefits Convenient, nearly dust-free operation. The cyclone eliminates the need for cumbersome hanging filter bags that require emptying and cleaning and is more economical than a central dust-collection system.
