Article: Pressurizing with Dust Collectors: Making the Right Decision

A popular ventilation process called pressurization is explored in depth in a recent article featured in Plant Engineering Magazine.  Written by dust collection expert Pablo Rocasermeno. The technique is when a  positive or negative atmospheric pressure is maintained in an isolated or semi-isolated environment. Using the proper air filtration is necessary to guard against cross contamination and to maintain the desired air quality during the positive or negative negative pressurization.

The article answers many of the questions associated with expense, climate consideration, volume of dust, return on investment, and when cartridge dust collection is right for the application.   If dust collection is determined to be the most cost effective approach, deciding which dust collection equipment would be the next step.  There are many types of dust collection systems available, the cartridge style dust collectors are the system of choice because it offers higher filtration efficiencies over the traditional baghouse collector.  Many application requirements need to be addressed such as filter media, safety monitoring filters, variable frequency drive controls, and if the application is in a temperature controlled space. 

This is a great article that will help you in your dust collection selection process.
