JUNE 2014 • E&MJ; 93 www.e-mj.com COMPANY PROFILE-PAID ADVERTISEMENT Controlling dust at excavation sites, mill trans- fer points and similar locations is a difficult challenge. If emissions are too high, the EPA may curtail production schedules. That's why proper design and selection of dust collection equipment is such an important concern. Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC) offers the most technologically advanced dust col- lectors available—backed by dependable service support and decades of proven experi- ence. The company is part of Camfil, the largest air filter manufacturer in the world, with presence in more than 150 countries and production on all continents. The compa- ny is experienced in mining support, with a team of professionals focused solely on min- ing dust control applications. Camfil APC is the only company in the industry to offer both ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facilities and a state-of-the-art dust collection test laboratory, ensuring a quality product from design to shipment. The full-service test lab is equipped to conduct a battery of bench tests on customer dust sam- ples, as well as full-scale simulated chal- lenges that no other manufacturer can equal. Key Products Farr Gold Series ® dust collector: This innova- tive high efficiency dust collector is designed to reduce emissions and maximize produc- tion. It is uniquely suited to the mining indus- try because of its extremely rugged heavy- gauge construction: It features a compact modular design that optimizes field flexibility and integrates well with conveyor bin vents. Service benefits include easy access and fast, trouble-free filter change-out. Stack testing of the Farr Gold Series collec- tor in mining applications has measured less than .0005 grains per cubic foot of emissions, about half the emissions level for which the col- lectors were permitted. The collector has a much smaller footprint than a conventional non- pleated baghouse and operates at lower pressure drop. The pleated filters are mounted vertically inside the collector, eliminating the problems of dust blinding and premature failure that some- times occur with horizontally installed filters. Camfil APC guarantees its dust collectors meet EPA particle emission requirements. HemiPleat ® filter: Farr Gold Series collectors are equipped with the company's award-win- ning HemiPleat filter, which offers greatly extended service life and lower pressure drop than standard pleated filters—typically dou- ble the life at half the delta P. The key to superior performance is a patented pleating technology that has never before been used in the manufacture of a cylindrical dust collection filter. An innovative media pack design holds the pleats open, making virtually all the media surface avail- able for filtration—unlike conventional filters, which are packed too tightly to maximize media use. The wide, uniform spacing results in lower pressure drop for more efficient per- formance. This design also causes dust to release more readily from the filter during pulse cleaning and uses less compressed air for many applications. The standard HemiPleat media provides high efficiency (99.99% on 0.5 micron parti- cles and larger) and high moisture resistance. An ultra-high efficiency (99.999%) media is also available. And the recently introduced HemiPleat ® eXtreme nano fiber filter offers maximum filtration efficiencies, durability, and resistance to wear from pulse-cleaning. New product brochure: A new brochure describes Farr Gold Series® dust collectors for mining applications. The brochure includes a mining dust collection system schematic, as well as information on product features and benefits, available options, and emissions stack testing results.
