Modular Filtration System & Operating Principle
The MDC range uses a modular negative-pressure filtration architecture, designed to maintain consistent airflow and high dust capture efficiency across varying industrial loads. Filtration media options include high-efficiency filter bags or cartridge systems, selected based on application requirements.
Filter Cleaning Technologies
- Shaker (Vibration) Cleaning System (MDC-S)
Mechanical oscillation dislodges dust from filter media during shutdown cycles, restoring airflow performance and extending filter life.
- Compressed Air Pulse Jet System (MDC-P / MDC-PC)
High-pressure air pulses clean filters during operation, ensuring continuous filtration and stable differential pressure control.
These systems reduce filter blinding, optimise airflow efficiency, and significantly extend service life.
Energy Efficiency & Smart System Control
All MDC systems integrate PLC-based automated control systems, enabling intelligent management of filtration performance, including:
- Differential pressure monitoring
- Automated cleaning cycle control
- Timer or demand-based operation logic
Optional Variable Speed Drive (VSD) integration allows real-time airflow adjustment based on system demand, reducing energy consumption during low-load or idle conditions while maintaining required capture velocities.
Continuous Operation & Material Handling
The MDC system incorporates a rotary airlock discharge system, enabling continuous dust removal into bins or screw conveyors without interrupting operation.
This ensures:
- Continuous production flow
- No system shutdown during waste discharge
- Stable extraction performance under heavy loading
