Improved Martin Air Cleaner

Martin Engineering launch the next generation in insertable industrial air cleaners for dust control

MARTIN Engineering have introduced the next generation of insertable air cleaners with the launch of their improved Martin Air Cleaner. Equipped with a side access door, making the units easier to service and more readily available for regular maintenance, the cleaner’s rectangular design allows more flexibility for expansion and is available in four different configurations to control airborne dust at belt-conveyor loading points and other bulk-material handling operations.

The Martin Air Cleaner features mesh-like material in its filters which cleans better than conventional filter bags, thereby allowing a reduction in the size of the fans used to move air through the filter elements and, as a consequence, reducing the power consumption of the collection system. The improved Martin Air Cleaner is offered with two, three, four or six filters, in a range of system sizes and filter materials to match specific application environments.

The installation of insertable air cleaners eliminates many of the problems inherent with central ‘bag-house’ collection systems, including long runs of ducting, large enclosures, maintenance difficulties and high power consumption. There is no large fan, no ductwork and no central bag house. The insertable filters are integrated into the transfer point enclosure, where they can easily return material to the conveying system.

An automated ‘reverse jet’ cleaning sequence facilitates continuous operation, keeping the filters working effectively with a minimum of compressed air. The small integrated fan runs only when the conveyor is operational, further improving energy efficiency.
