Dry Vacuum + Pressure for Low-Volume Impregnation Process

No casting is perfect. Process controls are impressive, and quality control efforts are frequently effective, but imperfections very often develop as an inherent part of a metalcasting process. Gas bubbles trapped within a solidifying shape will create cavities or hold inclusions, and depending upon the metal, the shape, or the location of these defects the finished casting may be vulnerable to failure.

Dust Collector Functions as Flame Arrestor

Camfill Farr APC expanded its line of integrated safety monitoring filters for Gold Series cartridge dust collectors. In addition to the current HEPA filters available for critical applications, it now offers ASHRAE-grade filters for installations that demand a more economical option. Conveniently integrated on top of the collector, these after-filter modules prevent collected dust from re-entering the workspace if there should be a leak in the dust collector's primary filtering system. In addition, the SMF modules are now proven to function as flame arrestors for combustible dust on most recirculating applications.
