OptiFlo DustCatcher®
 Industrial Quality Compact Pulse Jet Dust Collector
The AAF DustCatcher offers all of the advantages of a tough industrial quality high efficiency cartridge filter dust collector in a compact package. This fully self contained dust collector provides high efficiency air cleaning on the most difficult dry dust applications. It is offered in three sizes for cleaning air flow volumes up to 2,000 cfm. The self contained fan has been designed to provide stable airflow against high static pressures. The DustCatcher ships complete with factory installed fan and controls and is simple to install and maintain. It is a self cleaning dust collector and is fully automatic.
High Fractional Efficiency
Efficient on even submicron, health damaging, fine particulates, the DustCatcher using proprietary OptiKlean cartridge filters was tested by an independent test laboratory to meet the highest levels of cartridge filter cleaning efficiency. Certified to exceed NIOSH and OSHA codes for recirculation of plant air, OptiKlean filters provide 99.999% average efficiency on submicron particles with low energy and operating cost. Tests were performed in accordance with ASHRAE RP-531 test procedures. Details are available on request.

OptiKlean Cartridge Filters
OptiFlo filters are made of a proprietary durable polyester reinforced media specifically constructed to withstand the rigors of pulse cleaning. OptiKlean media has exceptional burst strength for unsurpassed resistance to abrasion and rupture. Scientifically developed to collect submicron dust particles, OptiKlean filters are engineered for energy-efficient continuous operation in harsh industrial environments with excellent dust release.

Ease of Maintenance
The DustCatcher cartridge filters are accessed through doors located on the front of the collector. This allows all of the filters to be installed or removed quickly and efficiently without contaminating the clean side of the collector. Filters are easily removed and installed by hand, no special tools are required.
Rugged Construction
The DustCatcher is constructed of 12 gauge steel and is true industrial quality. It is reinforced to resist pressures up to -20 inches water column (0.72 psi). NEMA 4 controls are standard and heavy duty 3/4 inch pulse valves are used to clean the filters with 90 to 100 psig compressed air.
How the DustCatcher Works
Dust laden air enters through the top inlets of the DustCatcher. Dust collects on the outer surfaces of the cartridge filters. Filtered air flows out of the filters into the fan and is discharged through the outlet. The filters are cleaned periodically by a burst of compressed air which is released through valves from a storage reservoir into the clean side of the cartridge filters. This dislodges the captured dust from the surface of the filter. The dust then falls freely into the hopper below for easy removal. The cleaning sequence is controlled by a solid state control and actuated by either a timer or pressure switch control.
