Dust Collecetion in the Food & Grain Industry

Aerodyne dust collectors can be used in a variety of food processing and agricultural processes. The high volumes of dust generated by processes involving grain, seed, and corn are easily managed by the SplitStream™ Dust Collector. As with many food and grain processes, moisture content of the dust can pose a major problem for bag houses and conventional cyclones. The Aerodyne's ability to keep a minimal amount of dust from contacting the interior walls helps to prevent buildup inside the dust collector.

A 4,500 cfm Aerodyne unit recovers high-protein animal feed at a Midwest plant   Toledo, Ohio: This Horizontal Aerodyne "S" Dust Collector operates off of a cereal plant air dryer helping the plant to meet local and state air pollution code requirements. A mix of dry and wet gases are collected with no product buildup on the interior walls of the collector. The unique capability to install the "S" Dust Collector horizontally allowed this unit to be placed between the dryer and the plant ceiling, requiring no insulation or structural change to the building.

This horizontal Aerodyne dust collector replaced a bag house collector on a dryer in a Canadian tobacco processing plant. The replacement resulted in no loss of efficiency and greatly decreased maintenance costs. With no bags to replace, no moving parts, and no expensive valves or compressed air systems, the Aerodyne provided a tremendous savings in maintenance cost. This 10,000 cfm dust collector unit gathers approximately 400 pounds of dust per shift. The sticky, coarse material does not adhere to the collector walls because of the powerful secondary air stream that sets a centrifugal action along the collector walls.   This Horizontal SplitStream™ Dust Collector installed between the ceiling and a dryer at a cereal plant shows the space saving benefits of the Aerodyne design. A typical vertical cyclone would have required major structural changes to the building. A huge expense was avoided with the selection of the Horizontal "S" Dust Collector.

These three 6,000 cfm Aerodyne dust collectors operate at negative pressure in an Iowa grain processing plant. They have effectively eliminated visual discharge from a distillers grain dryer stack, resulting in the recovery of valuable product at a rate of 11 to 15 pounds per hour.   This Aerodyne dust collector is installed at a grain processing plant in Iowa. Three other Aerodyne dust collectors are installed at this plant on another process line.

Installed at a Midwestern feed plant, this Aerodyne SplitStream™ Dust Collector separates grain dust from air at a rate of 4,500 cfm.
