Description
Airtight Solutions’ NFK dust collector series feature an efficient self-cleaning baghouse that can high dust and air volumes. Able to operate continuously while cleaning its own filter bags, the NFK is now the go-to choice across a variety of industries for their respective dust extraction needs.
The NFK series, generally speaking, services 20-500,000m3/hour when used for high dust load applications. Some common applications for the NFK series include saw mills, timber processing plants, food processing or other large manufacturing plants.
Each of Airtight’s dust collectors are designed with safety as the top consideration, which is why they include a combined inspection and explosion relief door as well as safety switch.
The NFK dust extraction system also includes various inlets for multiple fans, allowing the operator to run independent ducting systems on the same unit at low cost.
The medium and large particles are first separated in the filter inlet chamber, dropped into the hopper and finally deposited to the filter bags. This material is then transported to the rotary valve by the heavy duty drag chain and disposed into a silo, container or separate material transport system.
To ensure continues operation, the NFK dust extraction system includes a rotary valve, variable speed drive, patented XT15 antistatic filter socks and an on-line PLC controlled reverse air cleaning system as standard inclusions.
Fans:
The system is designed for multiple fans to run once, with individual sections being able to be controlled and set to run independently. Airtight Solutions advise that multiple mid-sized fans may be preferable over a single larger fan.
Modularity:
The modular design of the NFK means it can easily be extended to suit your business’s changing needs.
