Industrial Cartridge Dust Collector for Rice & Legumes Processing
.
The Challenge: Managing Combustible Dust in Food Packaging
A rice and legumes processing and packaging facility required a high-efficiency dust extraction system to manage airborne particles generated during production. The primary goals were ensuring workplace safety (reducing explosion risk), improving air quality to meet UK HSE regulations, and managing extraction from two independent production lines that operated at different times.

The Solution: Centralised 40m² Cartridge Filter System
We supplied a powerful, industrial-grade dust collector also known as Cartridge Filter Dust Extractor, designed for high-volume food processing applications:
We supplied a powerful, industrial-grade dust collector also known as Cartridge Filter Dust Extractor, designed for high-volume food processing applications:
- High Efficiency Filtration: The system uses 40m² of advanced cellulose cartridge filter elements, providing ample surface area to capture fine organic dust effectively.
- Optimised Airflow: Powered by a 4.0 kW fan, the unit delivers a robust airflow capacity of 4,000 m³/h, ensuring compliance with LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) standards.
- Flexible Extraction Control: We designed a unique parallel suction piping layout for the two lines. The system includes two central manual shutters, allowing operators to easily activate one line while isolating the other, optimizing energy use and focusing suction power where needed.
.
The Result: Improved Safety and LEV Compliance
The installation significantly improved the plant’s air quality and safety profile. The flexible shutter system allows for efficient operation of both production lines with a single centralized dust collector, simplifying maintenance and ensuring a cleaner, safer working environment.
