ESTA Compact Dust Collector DUSTOMAT DRY The ESTA Compact Dust Collector DUSTOMAT DRY extraction system is specially designed to reliably retain dry dust and chips, while its compact design ensures maximum efficiency even in confined working environments. Whether in metalworking companies where fine metal dust is produced or in plastics manufacturing with large quantities of chips, the system offers a wide range of configuration options thanks to its modular housing concept and keeps the working area clean thanks to its high separation efficiency. Compared to many other solutions on the market, this device impresses with its powerful suction, low-noise continuous operation and advanced filter cleaning, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements. Efficient dust and chip extraction
The robust steel construction and well-thought-out design ensure durability and safe operation. Thanks to the high negative pressure values, a wide variety of particles, from fine dust to coarse chips, can be effectively collected. In addition, an ATEX-compliant version is available to ensure a high level of protection even in potentially explosive areas. Normal or carcinogenic substances can be filtered equally well, provided that the appropriate filter design is selected. The sound-insulated housing construction keeps the noise level inside and outside the building at a comfortable level.
Main features at a glance
- Air flow rate of up to 3,500 m³/h for various working environments - Collection volume of 50 litres to minimise disposal cycles - Separation efficiency of up to 99.995%, depending on the filter type used
- Sound pressure level between 66 and 75 dBA for quiet continuous operation
- Modular filter concepts for dry, combustible and potentially hazardous dusts
- Manual or automatic filter cleaning (rotation or jet pulse)
- Easy access to all service points for maintenance
Jet pulse-controlled compressed air cleaning (on DRY 3300 and DRY 3500 models) proves to be particularly efficient in continuously removing fine dust from the system. The smaller versions (DRY 2000 and DRY 2700) offer a choice of manual or rotating cleaning. In either case, the filter is kept clean and the suction power remains consistently high. Another advantage is the ease of emptying: the 50-litre collection container can be conveniently removed and replaced using a transport device without having to dismantle any major parts of the system.
Control and monitoring technology The integrated touchscreen allows clear operation of all the most important settings. Users can see operating hours, maintenance dates and fault messages at a glance. Especially during intensive production phases, it is helpful to switch the system on or off using a timer, thus conserving resources. A remote maintenance function allows all parameters and operating states to be checked remotely and, if necessary, enables a faster response to changes.
Certifications and standards
Depending on the selected filter cartridges and the corresponding equipment, models with H or H3 test marks are available. This makes these versions particularly suitable for sensitive applications where carcinogenic dusts must be captured. For companies with potentially explosive areas, the manufacturer offers special ATEX-compliant models that comply with the relevant guidelines.
Specific application examples
- Removal of grinding dust in metalworking workshops where fine particles are regularly produced
- Extraction of plastic chips in injection moulding or CNC machining centres
- Collection of hazardous fine dust in companies that handle critical substances (e.g. high-quality processing of composite materials)
- Continuous operation in laser and plasma-assisted cutting systems to effectively collect particles that are hazardous to health
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How often does the filter need to be changed?
The intervals vary depending on the type and amount of dust. However, efficient filter cleaning extends the service life, so that fewer filter changes are required than with many conventional extraction systems.
What are the advantages of automatic jet pulse cleaning?
It cleans the filters without manual intervention, maintains a high suction power and reduces compressed air consumption. This reduces operating costs and minimises downtime.
Is a high sound pressure level to be expected?
No, thanks to the soundproofed design, the values remain between 66 dBA and 75 dBA. This is particularly important for systems that are used in the immediate vicinity of workplaces.
What types of dust can be filtered?
With the appropriate design, dry, carcinogenic, combustible and even explosive dusts can be filtered. The decisive factors here are the correct configuration and any ATEX equipment that may be required.
How is the dust emptied?
The collected material is collected in a 50-litre container that can be removed on castors. This minimises contamination and allows the collected material to be disposed of quickly.
Conclusion
This modern extraction solution combines a sophisticated filter system, powerful drive technology and a large collection container in an extremely compact design. Thanks to automated or manual filter cleaning, the system data remains at a consistently high level, while the touch display ensures convenient user guidance. In addition, the soundproofed housing significantly reduces noise in the working environment. This makes it an economically attractive choice in many industries, as it can be precisely adapted to individual production processes and meets the highest standards in terms of both safety and efficiency.
