 DustCatcher
The AAF DustCatcher offers all of the advantages of a tough industrial quality high efficiency cartridge dust collector in a small, attractive package. This fully self contained dust collector provides high efficiency air cleaning on the most difficult dry dust collection 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.

Efficiency
The DustCatcher has been certified by an independent test laboratory to provide the highest levels of cartridge cleaning efficiency (99.999% efficient on 0.8 micron particulate). Tests were performed in accordance with RP-531 and details are available on request.
Ease of Maintenance
The DustCatcher filter cartridges are accessed through doors located on the front of the collector. This allows all of the cartridges to be installed or removed quickly and efficiently without contaminating the clean side of the collector. Cartridges are easily removed and installed by hand, no special tools are required.
Rugged Construction
The DustCatcher is constructed using 12 gauge steel and is true industrial quality. It is structurally 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 cartridges with 90 to 100 psig compressed air.
How the DustCatcher Works
Dust laden air enters through the top inlets of the DustCatcher and the dust collects on the outer surfaces of the filter cartridges. Filtered air flows out of the filter cartridges into the fan and is discharged through the outlet. The cartridges are cleaned periodically by a burst of compressed air which is released through valves from a storage reservoir into the clean side of the filter cartridges. 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.
