www.farrapc.com BLASTING SAFE AIR FOR A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT Application Focus “We were surprised how compact the Gold Series was for how much air we are pumping through it. After two years in service the GS60 is working great and still has the original set of filters in it.” —Dave Sweere, DMI Industries BLASTING The Gold Series cartridge dust and fume collector combines enhanced performance with ease of service while cleaning the work environment of irritating dust and fumes. Gold Series on Blasting Applications Blasting is a very diverse market made up of wheel blasters, air blasters, and cabinet blasters. The blasting media also varies widely from sand, steel, plastic, slag, and various shot. This document focuses on wheel blasting and large blast rooms. Farr APC has over 100 Gold Series on these applications and numerous Tenkays. Safety Considerations When blasting aluminum extra safety precautions must be taken. The collector must be outside with explosion vents, fire retardant cartridges, and sprinklers. No ferrous blasting or ferrous materials can be mixed with a dust collector filtering aluminum dust. If any other flammable materials are being blasted, then consult factory for extra safety precautions. When recirculating air, precautions should be taken to meet all OSHA and government guidelines. In many cases a safety monitoring after filter is required. Extra caution should be taken when blasting with silica sand to protect workers from air born silica dust. FARR Application Focus on Benefits of the Gold Series Collector • High entry cross flow, inlet eliminates upward can velocities that can hold fine powder up in the filters reducing re-entrainment of the fine particles. • Vertically arranged filters shed all the metal particulate - vs. horizontal filters which allow the metal to build on top of the filter. • High efficiency filters stop 99.99% at 0.5ì of the dust! • Special treated filter media repels the fine particle for lower pressure drop and long filter life. • Gold Cone provides 25% more media for long service life.
