Whirl/Wet Dust Collection Systems removes dust with a particulate size of above 5 micron.

The Whirl/Wet is a high efficiency dust collection system which has low operating costs. It employs a unique process to create intensive mixing of the dust particles and water.

To infuse dust particles with water droplets, the mixture is passed with high velocity through fixed-position dual opposed blade system. The mixing of the dust-laden airstream and liquid takes place and, to increase turbulence, a tangential airstream is injected through a linear slot in the lower blade assembly. Rotation is accelerated, droplets in the airstream are eliminated through a mist eliminator located downstream, and particulate material is deposited on the bottom of the unit for recovery or disposal. Water level is maintained automatically and make-up water is only necessary to compensate for evaporation or sludge removal. Whirl/Wet operates in the 99% efficiency range for a wide variety of applications and over a wide range of micron sizes, with removal efficiency dropping off under 5 microns.

Applications
Whirl/Wet is effective for soluble and insoluble particles. Applications, from metal grinding through to food processing are ideally suited to the Whirl/Wet. Energy generated inside the unit will ensure that the the system does not clog under any operating conditions; therefore, the agglomeration and sticky residues that plug baghouses are not a problem with the Whirl/Wet.

Whirl/Wet is a frequently specified dust collection system for the collection of coal, aluminum, fertilizer and sugar dust. It satisfies the dust elimination requirements of stone finishing and battery manufacturing. Whirl/Wet is ideal for controlling emissions from solar panel manufacturing. It is the leading dust collection alternative wherever metal or plastic grinding or finishing generates variable dust loadings.

Whirl/Wet is advantageous for materials recovery. Processes that were not formerly candidates for materials recovery become good candidates as a result of the Whirl/Wet. Low water use is important, and Whirl Wet uses less water than any competitive dust collection system.
