ERS Sales Director Jeff Wair discusses the company's approach to processing shredder wire.

The filter is designed in such a way that the filter media doubles as the unit’s external walls. Since these walls are made of fabric, as opposed to the conventional “steel box” filters, the unit can never build up enough pressure to generate an explosion. This completely eliminates the need for explosion vents, high-speed abort gates, and unnecessary liabilities.

Baghouse and cartridge-style filters have long been the go-to solution for removing dust from manufacturing operations, but there are some significant downsides to this type of dust collector. They require explosion venting, abort gates, sometimes building make-up air, and additional fire protection, in addition to the long and costly downtimes to maintain and unplug them. ERS designed the CCM® OCT filter so that it can be kept safely indoors in a dry environment anywhere in the plant.
