A situation that is seldom considered in Wet Collectors is the advantages of using a Wet Collector on lightweight particulates (low mass density) such as non-solvent food dust or similar. These explosive dust applications have long been controlled by Dry Collectors, which have a requirement of complicated and expensive Conflagration Control Systems, such as heat and spark sensors, along with associated more expensive relief dampers and sprinkler/flooding systems. Many of these are…

A food manufacturer and packager had just returned a cartridge unit that had failed quickly (blocking and stopping self-cleaning the cartridges) with the dry and/or sticky dust application of their production. A stainless steel impeller design Wet Scrubber Collector would be the best option to address the explosion and fire potential, and a HydroAIR with its always full Stainless Steel Construction and the new Patent using Insertable Scrub Modules was a great plus for maintenance…

Schubert Environmental Equipment previously made a standard HydroAIR(R) Wet Downdraft Table for a startup metal additive company, as they were concerned about present and future generation of explosive dusts. A year later they contacted us again to see if a larger, ultra-heavy strength table was possible that could carry a 4,000 to 5,000 lb. loading. As far as our research could verify, a table of this capacity had never been made. The design would require reversing the normal Patented…

HydroAIR® customer invests in four large systems for Mexico Facility A recent Schubert Environmental Equipment sale was a shipment to Mexico of four DBS-8 HydroAIR Scrubbers (8,000 cfm). This is the second purchase by a major manufacturer that polishes and buffs stainless and other metal alloy fixtures. Previously in 2010, this firm purchased two of our DBS-6 HydroAIR Wet Collector Scrubbers to be ducted to ten, two station polishing/buffing lathes for use in their US…
