Dust control in grain operations can present challenges to material
handling operations, but Torit® PowerCore® CPV bin vent collectors
helps to ensure optimised material handling by providing effective and
efficient filtration.
To optimise throughput while maintaining effective dust collection
performance, proactive collaboration is needed between the elevator
operator, the general contractor and the dust collector manufacturer.
Elevator operators who proactively and
thoughtfully design point-of-use dust
collection, typically realise the following
benefits:
Faster material transfer
The Torit PowerCore CPV collector
effectively captures dust while avoiding
whole grain being pulled from material
transfer points. Operators do not have
to constantly adjust damper positions to
maintain the material handling system’s
effectiveness even at full dumping rates.
With the use of optional items, such
as a variable frequency drive and
downtime filter cleaning, the limit on
the receiving rate will be based solely
on the conveying equipment – not on
the ability to control dust. The result is
increased throughput from the elevator.
Smaller collectors
Torit PowerCore CPV bin vent collectors
are almost 70% shorter than other bag-
style bin vents and effectively address
the frequent challenge of tight space
limitations.
Easier maintenance
Clean-side filter access and fewer,
lighter filter packs mean faster, easier
filter changes without tools, filter cages
or confined space entry.
Less equipment
The collectors in point-of-use dust
collection, eliminate dirty-air ducting
while balancing gates, airlocks, fil-
ter hoppers, screw conveyors and
pneumatic conveying equipment other-
wise needed to move collected dust to
storage bins. Effective point-of-use dust
collection will reduce the installation
and the maintenance cost of your dust
control.
Lower energy consumption
An optimised pulse system delivers effective cleaning while minimising
restriction through the collector for filtered air. As a result, the collectors
require up to 40% less horsepower to operate compared to traditional
bag-style collectors. The resulting energy savings alone may actually pay
for the integrated system over the lifespan of the equipment.
Cost-effective
PowerCore filtration technology means reduced freight and installation
costs, fewer filter change-outs, lower maintenance costs, reduced emis-
sions and, therefore, reduced housekeeping costs.
