Type W RotoClone

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Type W RotoClone is a versatile and cost-effective wet dust collector and fan, designed for high efficiency and minimal water usage. It is suitable for various applications, including industrial processes and fire protection in commercial kitchens.

Key Features:

High efficiency with 98% dust collection for most applications.
Low water requirements of 0.5 - 1 GPM per 1000 CFM of air cleaned.
Low installation costs, requiring only water supply and drain connections.
Continuous operation without downtime for maintenance.
Compact size similar to a centrifugal fan.
Versatile in handling hot, moist gas streams and sticky dusts.
Acts as a fire barrier in restaurant range hood applications, approved by Factory Mutual and ULC.
No secondary dust issues, as dust is discharged in slurry form.

Operating Principles: Dust-laden air enters the RotoClone, where it is sprayed with water. The heavier water and dust particles are directed into a water cone by the impeller's centrifugal force, forming a slurry that drains through a sludge chute. Clean air is discharged separately.

Configurations:

Arrangement D: Designed for heavy granular dust concentrations, featuring a wet centrifugal precleaner. Available in sizes from 1,000 to 15,000 CFM.
Arrangement A: Suitable for light granular dusts and mist, using dynamic forces to trap particles. Available in sizes from 1,000 to 50,000 CFM.

Applications: The RotoClone is used in food processing (e.g., cereal, flour, sugar), various industries (e.g., paper, plastics, pharmaceuticals), and processes (e.g., drying, grinding, spraying). It is also applicable in commercial settings like restaurants and shopping malls for exhaust and fire protection.

Arrangement A The Type W RotoClone, Arrangement A is recommended for the collection of light loadings of granular dusts and mist. Dynamic forces developed by the rotating impeller cause even the finest particles to impinge on, and be trapped by, the flowing water film which covers all blade surfaces. The slurry formed by water and collected dust drains from the bottom of the RotoClone expansion chamber. The Type W RotoClone, Arrangement A is available in 12 sizes from 1,000 to 50,000 CFM. Arrangement A with standard outlet. Optional Outlets for Vertical Discharge The 90 degree outlet elbow is...
