Dustcheck introduces new cutting edge filter
At
Dustcheck we've earned a reputation for introducing tailored solutions
to industry issues. Our new dual cleaning venting filter has been
designed to have a major impact on a common problem - how to stop
systems clogging up.
We devised our revolutionary new dual cleaning venting filter after being approached by a client whose
production speeds were being hit as rotary valves became air locked and
clogged. The solution to the problem was to double the cleaning
valves on the filter, ensuring one always remained open.
Says
Dustcheck MD Ed Spires, "This product is a major breakthrough and
we are confident it will greatly improve efficiency for our customers
by reducing waste, maintaining continuous production and cutting costs"
