Category: Dust Extraction Systems
Product Description

The RAF filter series are a highly effective self-cleaning baghouse designed to handle high dust volumes and medium air volumes. They are designed for continuous operation and work efficiently by automatically cleaning the filter bags while running.

The RAF-1M typically services up 12,000m3/hour at medium dust load applications. This may equate to 4-7 machines in a Joinery/cabinet maker application.

Each module is fitted with a combined inspection and explosion relief door. A safety switch ensures automatic shutdown in case of emergency.

The medium/large particles are separated in the filter hopper (inlet section optional) and the air is afterwards distributed to the filter bags. The collected material is discharged through the rotary valve or screw conveyor.

The RAF-1M comes standard with Rotary Valve for continuous operation (no need to shut down to empty your waste bin), Variable Speed Drive for low running cost, 85m2 of the advanced XT15 antistatic filter socks and online PLC controlled reverse air cleaning system.

Fan:

The high-efficiency main fan is self-cleaning & ensures high performance, quiet operation and low running cost. We use large heavy duty 4pole fans (5mm plate) – opposed to the cheaper 2 pole fans.

4 pole fans are larger in construction and run slowly (typically 1,250-1,480 rpm – ensuring quiet operation)
2 pole fans are smaller and run faster, typically 3,000 rpm à noisy!
Modularity:

The RAF-1M is modular by design and the system can easily be extended if your extraction requirements increase in the future.

For heavy waste load applications, we commonly discharge the waste into a silo, container or separate material transport system.

Typical applications:

Joinery and cabinet making
Timber and Process
Paper and Trim
