The completed Farr Gold Series GS40 installed at Tri-Gemini.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tri-Gemini is a graphite machining facility, supplying consumables for the Sinker EDM (electrical discharge machining) industry. \"We supply bulk graphite and graphite electrodes made to order,\" stated Tony Mucha, co-owner of Tri-Gemini with Linda Radtke. \"We're primarily a custom machine shop for graphite electrodes directed toward the end user.\"<\/p>\n

Their processes utilize various types of equipment, including saws, grinders, sanders, CNC turning centers, and CNC milling machines, creating large amounts of dust. \u201cWhen you machine graphite material, the dust particles can be as small as one micron,\u201d added Mucha. \u201cWe have our employees to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of our machines use dust collection,\u201d he continued. \u201cIn an older building, we had a central baghouse dust collector. It was wholly inadequate; there was always a dust film of graphite on everything. Building a new facility, we knew that we weren\u2019t going to use the same equipment. A dust collection system has to be able to handle such small particles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tri-Gemini looked for new systems to put in place for their graphite dust problem and came across the Farr Gold Series. \u201cWhat impressed us,\u201d noted Mucha, \u201cwas the amount of engineering that goes into it. Other companies that we went to\u2014to their engineering department\u2014couldn\u2019t fit our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cWhat we needed to do is keep the dust collection system inside the building,\u201d Mucha mentioned. \u201cIt made no sense to keep it outside and have the air returned to the building at 95 degrees (Fahrenheit) during the summer. We have an air-conditioned building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another company that offered a unit to Tri-Gemini wanted to cut a hole in their ceiling and house a section of their dust collector outside of the building. Tri-Gemini didn't want to do that. Camfil APC had a better solution. \u201cWe have 18-foot tall ceilings and Camfil APC was able to size a unit to fit that restraint. Typically, the dust that\u2019s collected is put into 55-gallon drums,\u201d explained Mucha, \u201cOur unit is a bit different. We wanted to put the dust in giant bags (or super sacks) able to hold about 1,500 to 1,800 pounds of dust. Camfil APC engineered an angled auger system to work with the Farr Gold Series.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Farr Gold Series dust collection unit was installed at the Hillside, Illinois facility. Camfil APC was able to easily manage the height restraints with the addition of the custom auger system. Also installed were 40 HemiPleat\u00ae Gold Cone filters. After the air is filtered through the Farr Gold Series, the air passes through a secondary filtering system with 24 additional filters so the air can be released back into the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also had a great ductwork engineer from Chicago Blow Pipe Co. who designed the entire ductwork system and checked every collection point to make sure we had no blind spots at any of our 35 machines,\u201d said Mucha. \u201cThe system works very well. From the engineering of the ductwork to the collection system, it\u2019s extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had this collector for over 6 years,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019ve only ever had to wipe down our machine\u2014which is white\u2014once. We\u2019ve had our graphite suppliers come into the shop and be amazed at the cleanliness of the shop. We still have the original filters in place that were installed with the unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
