ESTA DUSTOMAT Hydro wet separator

ESTA wet separator DUSTOMAT HYDRO
For use in grinding, brushing and polishing

Energy-efficient wet separators with innovative separation technology
With the DUSTOMAT HYDRO, ESTA presents a new high-performance wet separator series that is specially designed for extracting aluminium dust and for work processes with flying sparks. The centrepiece is the innovative, patent-pending water separation technology: This safely binds the extracted dust and sparks in water. The pre-cleaned airflow then passes through a multi-stage filter system, which can be configured by the customer depending on the application: Whether a filter cassette for dust class M dusts or a high-performance HEPA H 14 filter with a separation efficiency > 99.995 % for particularly hazardous dusts. Even welding fumes can be effectively separated with the DUSTOMAT HYDRO. Different options are available to customers depending on the materials being processed and whether the system is to be operated in recirculation or exhaust air mode. The water and the separated dust can be easily discharged via a drain tap.

The new DUSTOMAT HYDRO wet filter systems are suitable as single and multi-station extraction systems for metallic dusts, in particular for grinding, brushing and polishing processes as well as welding. The separators are particularly quiet in operation and are available in two performance levels and as an ATEX version. Thanks to improvements in air technology and the optimised design of the components, the new wet separators operate at maximum performance and with comparatively low energy consumption.

Innovative wet separator technology
The wet separators in the DUSTOMAT HYDRO range feature innovative water separation technology: the system is based on a hydrocyclone and renders sparks and combustible dusts almost completely harmless in the first filter stage with a separation efficiency of 98.7 %. Even the smallest particle fractions of ≥ 15 µm are safely bound in the water vortex chamber. ESTA thus raises the quality of pre-separation to a new level. Users benefit from a significant effect: the filter media of the subsequent dry separation system are protected, resulting in a longer service life and lower follow-up costs.

In contrast to conventional wet separators, which often have a fixed multi-stage filter system, DUSTOMAT HYDRO wet separators can be equipped with a dry filter package customised to individual requirements with separation efficiencies of up to 99.995 %.
