Wet Collectors and Wet Dust Exhaust Units

Wet dust exhaust units are often specified to cope with the heavy burden of flammable dust arising from Grinding, fettling, linishing, polishing and trimming applications.

Wet dust exhaust units draw the dust-laden air through a tank of water. Heavy dust particles are thrown directly into water and settle as sludge in the base of the unit for subsequent removal. Air and light dust are drawn over the surface of the water and scrubbing cups turn the air and entrained water, wetting even the very fine dust particles. A series of baffles removes the wetted dust and clean air is discharged from the top of the unit back into the works atmosphere.

There are no moving parts, no filters and no sprays, which mean that the units are particularly robust and maintain their original suction rates, even under very arduous conditions.

Climavent now manufacture the Lakestyle LW22 Wet Dust Exhaust Unit which can be supplied as a single unit for a down draught bench or as a modular bank of units to provide filtration for large centralised systems.

A common problem with Wet Dust Exhaust units is that the Metal Enclosure and internal components often start to corrode after a short period of service. The LW22 unit has a non corrosive GRP body with stainless steel internal scrubbing components and if serviced on a regular basis will provide many years of efficient extraction.
