The Cross-Flow Is the Answer

The Cross-Flow collector design is unique, patented, and offers many features not offered by other manufacturers. The cartridge orientation in the collector housing permits a greater utilization of space with an improved internal air flow. Unlike the Cross-Flow’s competitors, the dirt-laden air enters at the top and is filtered by rows of staggered cartridges. Collected material then discharges away from the incoming air stream and between cartridges.

Application: The Cross-Flow collector is typically used to remove airborne particulate from process air. Air to media ratios are determined by the nature and quantity of material being removed. In the Cross-Flow, filter media is cleaned by the back draft air pulse method; damp, fibrous, and statically charged materials are not easily removed. Normal air to media ratios will be from 1 to 3.5 CFM per ft2 of media.

Applications include a wide range of materials such as welding fume, powder paint, and grinding dust. Air Equipment & Engineering’s personnel can provide information on additional applications

Construction: The Cross-Flow collector housing is fabricated from 12 gauge welded steel. External surfaces will be factory primed and finish painted unless otherwise specified. Collector housings are designed to withstand a pressure of +/_24" H2O, wind load of 100 mph, and a Zone 3 seismic rating.

All Cross-Flow collection units are factory furnished with standard support legs (48" clearance under the discharge flange), Magnahelic TM differential pressure gauge, solid-state cleaning timer, pulse cleaning pilot and diaphragm valves, standard 225 ft2 filter cartridges, and installation and maintenance manuals.

Dimensions and Specifications: (Note: All models can be furnished as banked units consisting of two or more modules.)

Options: Being one of the most versatile collectors available today, the Cross-Flow unit is available with many options and modifications.

  • PhotohelicTM differential pressure demand cleaning
  • 55-gallon drum or other discharge receiver cover and gate
  • Rotary lock or double tipping valve discharge
  • Stainless steel or epoxy coated construction
  • Heated pulse manifold for low temperature installation
  • Collector-mounted fan and motor
  • Secondary after-filter and after-filter housing
  • Special filter cartridges for special filtration applications
  • Customer-specified finish type and color
  • Discharge elevation and size modification
  • Collector housing modifications for either high or low static requirements
  • Explosion vents, fire-retardant cartridges, and sprinkler of CO2 discharge nozzles
