Some would say that two identical dust collection systems on a single, centralized vacuum system is redundant, redundant. One vitamin manufacturer who wanted non-stop dust collection on a '24/7' basis would agree! But he'll also tell you that he replaced 10 small dust collectors of different types that were scattered throughout his manufacturing plant, resulting in filter inventory, maintenance and dust disposal that were time consuming and complicated.In addition, this installation is user-friendly and safer for his employees. An OSHA compliant railed service platform and caged ladder between the two collectors gives his crews easy access and keep his workers safe during filter change-out. Since the dusts being captured are potentially combustible, a chemical suppression system for fire protection, as well as explosion vents in the collector were installed.
