Wood Technology is an architectural woodworking facility. They design, manufacture and install commercial products \u2014 including countertops, cabinetry, trimming, and paneling \u2014 for schools, hospitals, and offices.<\/p>\n

Their varied woodworking processes all produce fine, fibrous wood dust that can be prone to an explosion if not properly handled. To combat this problem, Wood Technology employed a small baghouse dust collector. But when the company began to expand, they realized that their smaller system wouldn\u2019t support additional machinery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we decided that we were going to expand, we knew that we needed to get something that would be able to handle all this computerized machinery that we were getting,\u201d described Dave Salmans, the production manager at Wood Technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To prevent the dust collection problems they expected to encounter after upgrading all of their equipment, Wood Technology purchased a Farr Gold Series GS8 unit. Salmans said, \u201cI spent many hours redesigning our entire shop to make things flow in a certain pattern. It was quite the challenge.\u201d An entirely new shop was designed with adequate dust collection as a focus.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Farr Gold Series GS8 has been in use for 14 years.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Farr Gold Series unit was an integral part of the revision of the facility. New, larger machines were put into place. \u201cWe were planning ahead. We knew what we wanted, and we knew where things were going to go,\u201d Salmans mentioned.<\/p>\n

After some time, however, the original dimple pleat filters that were included with the units clogged. The filters required larger glue beads to be held in place and wouldn\u2019t release dust properly, even with cartridge overbags; they needed to be changed often. Salmans noticed this and began to record data about the filters. \u201cI would take a reading in the morning, when we turned it on; at lunch, when we turned it off; after lunch, after it pulsed for 30 minutes; and at the end of the day,\u201d he explained. This information was mailed to Camfil APC.<\/p>\n

To remedy the problem at the facility, Camfil APC sent Wood Technology eight HemiPleat Gold Cone filters<\/a>, which were a newly developed product at the time. The HemiPleat Gold Cone filters vastly outperformed the older filter types. \u201cThose filters have been installed since 2006,\u201d said Salmans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your dust collection system isn\u2019t working at capacity, it\u2019s going to cause you problems down the line,\u201d Salmans added. \u201cWhen you can go an entire year and not even think about what your dust collector is doing, that\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
