Dust Collectors

The SRC series dust collector is designed as a central dust collector for dust extraction systems.

The waste material is drawn through external ducting and delivered to the SRC Central Dust Extraction Plant, which has air drawn through it by a Centrifugal Fan mounted on the clean side of the Dust Collector, placing the Dust Collector under negative pressure. Dust laden air first impacts the impingement wall in the in-built drop out chamber, then drops down into the collection area. The airstream is drawn through the surface of the filter cartridges in the collector, which retain the air-borne fine dust particles, while the larger material falls to the bottom of the collector. In order to control the pressure differential across the cartridges, a Reverse Pulse Cleaning System is utilised. This operates either on a constant feed basis, or alternatively on-demand, while the fan is running. Once released from the filter element surface, the dust fines fall into the bottom of the collector, in the waste collection hopper.

Waste product is collected in the hopper at the bottom of the Dust Extractor, and is to be periodically removed by the manual operation of closing the slide gate at the hopper discharge point, then unclamping and removing the bin.

The cleaned air discharges through the (optional) acoustic silencer on the fan to atmosphere. This system is operated from a remote control switch, located by the Clients’ electrician, in the factory complex.

Range is modular and scaleable. Rotary Air Lock Valves are a further option.

The APC VibraClean dust extractor is a robust unit, which meets the following minimum construction and general performance requirements.

• The fan and filter housing are manufactured from modular steel panels, and are mounted to a PFC framework.
• The lower section of the unit incorporating the hopper and support structure and explosion vent (To NFPA68).
• The fan chamber is internally lined with acoustic material, to achieve an average minimum 30dB noise reduction.
• Filter elements are made of standard epitropic fabric.
• Mechanical shaking action is utilised for cleaning of the filters, using an eccentric vibrating motor, which is activated once the fan is de energised.
• Single width centrifugal fan is utilised, and placed in the acoustic chamber, thus placing the filters under negative pressure.
• Discharge of clean air from the dust collector is either via a horizontal discharge portal in the clean chamber, or a vertical stack.
• The unit is supplied with a loose electrical controller, which incorporates both fan and vibratory motor controller and interlocks.

The PulseAir Series Dust Collector is both designed and manufactured in Western Australia and consists of a number of rather unique features which include:

The unit features its own custom-designed internal dropout chamber, utilising an internal deflector wall and large expansion area. The benefit of this is that it prevents most of the dust re-entrainment that occurs with more typical dust collector designs. Major re-entrainment of dust shortens the life of filter elements. Thus, the advantage of reducing this re-entrainment factor is to increase the life of filter elements and thus reduce maintenance costs for clients.

The next feature incorporated in the PulseAir System is its own maintenance platform for access to the reverse pulse valving system, a feature missing on most designs available.

The PulseAir Series Dust Collector also utilises the latest, state-of-the-art Goyen Go-Co Cleaning Technology, combined with the new Goyen FS Series Pulse Valves, all of which serve to give far more efficient cleaning of the filter elements than has previously been achieved, with much lower compressed air consumption.

The unit is manufactured to satisfy all provisions of Australian Standards, EPA and WorkSafe requirements.

Full in-house CAD design facilities enable APC to design the PulseAir Series Dust Collector into almost any known application requiring dust control.

The Model sizes range from 19m2 of filter area to a massive 336m2, as standard designs.

How to Choose An Extraction Arm

APC Self-Supporting Arm

The purpose of a de-dusting system is to ensure that air pollutants are controlled and maintained within a manufacturing environment.

The captured material is then extracted into a filtration system to ensure that the dust is collected and disposed of safely, avoiding emissions to the atmosphere.

This system comprises of an extraction hood / fume arm driven by an extraction fan, and connected to a ducting system which feeds into a cyclone and/or dust collector. This system is a complete turn key solution designed and fabricated in-house.



The purpose of a Cyclone Separator is to separate solids (dust) from gases (air sucked in). Most centrifugal separators which remove particles from gases do not contain any moving parts in them. The unit normally consists of a cone type cylinder design, with an inlet near the top, and an outlet at the bottom of the cone. The incoming air containing the dust, travels inwards into the vortex in the chamber, and with the centrifugal force which is developed, moves the particles down into the base of the cone, where it then falls into the collector.
