General - Dust Extraction System

• Used in bakeries and milling operations to capture flour dust.
• Applied in snack food production to manage seasoning and ingredient powders.
• Utilised in confectionery manufacturing for sugar dust and cocoa powder control.
• Essential in packaging areas to remove particulate matter from the air.
• Implemented in processing lines to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination from airborne particles.

Typical airflow capacity

For this class of equipment, airflow capacities typically range from 1,000 to 5,000 m³/hr, depending on fan size and filter area.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with power consumption varying based on motor size.

Filter type

Units typically employ cartridge filters or bag filters, often with automatic cleaning mechanisms such as reverse jet pulse.

Inlet connections

This system features multiple inlets, with flexible arms and static heads, commonly ranging from 100mm to 250mm in diameter.

Material construction

The main housing is typically constructed from mild steel, often powder-coated, with internal components sometimes in stainless steel for food contact areas.

Footprint

The footprint for a system of this configuration can vary, but typically requires a floor area of 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.5m, plus ducting space.

• What type of dust is this system suitable for?

  Dust extraction systems like this are generally suitable for fine, dry, non-explosive dusts commonly found in food processing, such as flour, sugar, spices, and cocoa powder. Buyers should confirm suitability for their specific dust type with the seller.

• How is the collected dust disposed of?

• What maintenance is required for a dust extraction system?

• Can this system be integrated into an existing production line?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer systems?

Food processing waste management systems are valued for their ability to handle organic waste streams efficiently and support regulatory compliance. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, reliability, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. The equipment's reputation centres on its importance for operational sanitation and waste reduction. When buying second-hand, inspectors should verify mechanical condition, check for corrosion or wear, and confirm documentation of regular servicing. Reputable systems typically demonstrate durability and consistent performance across varied food processing environments.
