Product catalog summary
Overview: This document serves as a detailed guide on air filtration systems by Airflow Systems, Inc., highlighting their applications in various industrial environments such as grinding, welding, and laboratory settings. The focus is on enhancing performance, productivity, and return on investment (ROI).
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Performance and Payback: The systems are engineered to improve ROI by minimizing maintenance and downtime. Features like welded panel seams and non-electrostatic operation enhance reliability and efficiency.
  • Productivity Advantages: The use of application-specific blower wheel designs and optional variable frequency drive blowers reduces energy consumption, boosting long-term profitability.
  • Vibra-Pulse Filter Cleaning: This innovative system uses compressed air and a high-pressure impactor hose to effectively clean filters, increasing their dirt-holding capacity and reducing the frequency of filter changes.
Product Specifications:
  • Dust Control Booth™ and Panel Filter PowerBooth™: These systems feature a modular design, high-capacity airflow, and efficient filtration, suitable for diverse process applications.
  • Portable Collection Systems: Models like the PAC-91 offer mobility and high-performance filtration for multi-station collection needs.
  • Downdraft Tables: Specifically designed for aluminum processing, these tables comply with NFPA standards and provide efficient downdraft velocity for effective contaminant capture.
  • Central Collection Systems: The DCH Series is designed for high-volume, high-efficiency collection in manufacturing and processing operations.
Technical Support and Global Reach: Airflow Systems boasts a network of over 80 distributors worldwide, providing customized solutions and ongoing technical support.
Compliance and Safety: The document outlines permissible exposure limits (PELs) for various contaminants, ensuring safety and compliance across different environments.
Summary of Air Contaminant Limits:
Specifications:
  • Uranium: Soluble Compounds limit is 0.05 mg/m³, Insoluble Compounds limit is 0.25 mg/m³.
  • Vanadium: Respirable dust as V205 has a ceiling limit of 0.5 mg/m³, Fume as V205 has a ceiling limit of 0.1 mg/m³.
  • Vegetable Oil Mist: Total dust limit is 15 mg/m³, Respirable fraction limit is 5 mg/m³.
  • Zinc Compounds: Zinc chloride fume limit is 1 mg/m³, Zinc oxide fume limit is 5 mg/m³, Zinc oxide total dust limit is 15 mg/m³, Respirable fraction limit is 5 mg/m³, Zinc stearate total dust limit is 15 mg/m³, Respirable fraction limit is 5 mg/m³.
Procedures:
  • PEL (Permissible Exposure Limits) are 8-hour Time-Weighted Average limits unless noted otherwise.
  • Ceiling limits are indicated with a (C) designation.
  • Measurements are to be taken from breathing zone air samples.
Norms and Recommendations:
  • All inert or nuisance dusts not specifically listed are covered by the Particles Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) limit.
  • Measurements are in milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air or millions of particles per cubic foot of air.
