AirMax Volume Chart – This chart shows air volume in CFM for a given duct diameter and velocity.
The cross section of the round duct (Area in Square Feet – a/sq. ft.) multiplied by velocity in feet per minute (VFM) is equal to cubic feet per minute (CFM).
AirMax Volume Chart – This chart shows air volume in CFM for a given duct diameter and velocity.
The cubic feet per minute (CFM) divided by the cross section of the round duct (area in square feet – a/sq. ft.) is equal to the velocity in feet per minute (VFM).

A dust collection system is a setup designed to capture, filter, and dispose of dust and debris generated during various manufacturing or industrial processes. The collector unit is designed to capture and remove dust particles, smoke, and fumes, keeping the area clean and safe, and minimizing dust in the workspace.
Dust collection is essential for workers’ safety and health. Proper dust collection can also reduce equipment maintenance costs.
Common dust collector types include cartridge filters (for fine dry dust), baghouses (capable of higher temperature air, moisture, and/or high loading), cyclones (for heavier particles), mist collectors (for oils and coolants), and wet collectors (for flammable / explosive dusts).
The primary components include a dust collector unit to filter the air, and a fan to create airflow. Industrial dust collection systems have cleaning systems to extend the life of the filters.
Some factors to consider include the type and volume of dust, particle size, desired level of filtration, and the working environment.
Key steps include identifying dust sources, determining the path from the source to the dust collector, sizing the collector based on airflow requirements, and ensuring proper air velocity throughout the system.
Filter cleaning or replacement frequency depends on dust load and type, but regular maintenance is essential to maintain optimal performance.
Maintenance includes checking filter condition with differential pressure gauge, maintaining the filter cleaning assembly, inspecting the system for leaks or dust pass-through, emptying collected dust, monitoring fan performance, and addressing any malfunctions promptly.
Signs of potential issues include decreased airflow, excessive pressure drop across the filters, visible dust leaks, increased noise levels, or a decline in filtration efficiency.
