Brewton Iron Works, Inc. of Brewton, Alabama is a family-owned metal foundry that has produced high-quality metal components for a variety of domestic industrial products since 1901.<\/p>\n

Like many foundries, sand is a major part of their production process. It is used to form molds, which metal is poured into to create the components. \u201cWe let the metal cool, sit, and shake the mold out; break up the sand,\u201d clarified Alex Freas, an engineer at Brewton. The piece is then conveyed to a shot-blasting unit. Freas continued, \u201cWe try to knock off as much sand as we can, but you still have to take it to the shot blasting unit to knock off the sand particles that are built up in all the crevasses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sand is also Brewton\u2019s primary dust problem. Shot blasting pulverizes the sand as it is removed from the metal components. \u201cThe shot itself\u00a0will turn to dust,\u201d Freas described, \u201cEventually it will wear down into nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

To solve their dust collection problem, Brewton installed a competitor\u2019s dust collector, which performed poorly. \u201cIt never worked at all. It was terrible,\u201d Freas mentioned. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a good dust collector inside the shot blasting unit, the sand becomes abrasive and can ruin your entire machine a lot faster than the shot would.\u201d This prompted Brewton to look for a better solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our only real requirement was to make sure all that sand and dust got taken out,\u201d Freas noted. A GS6 Gold Series industrial dust collector<\/a> was installed at the shot blasting unit in 2011 and has been running approximately half of every workday since installation. The unit solved all the problems that were present with their old collector.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been almost maintenance-free,\u201d Freas explained, \u201cand clear of all problems that the [old dust collector] had. When we turn it on, it does its job and not at any point does it falter. It does what it\u2019s supposed to and what it\u2019s designed to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The unit\u2019s filter life has also greatly increased. \u201cWe\u2019re at almost two years,\u201d Freas said. \u201cWe probably have another six months before we need to change them.\"<\/p>\n
