Dust Filter Z67
During atomization, the Condair unit acts as a very efficient air washer. Granular
dust sinks down in the water basin and can easily be removed. The fibrous
dust found in paper and textile mills, cheese factories etc. may, however,
obstruct the water and air intakes of the appliance, thus considerably reducing
its output. Large amounts of dust may even clog the unit completely.
We have made the greatest efforts to find an appropriate dust filter for the
Condair 3001 and we have now found the best solution: the round filter
brush retains the fibrous dust particles without affecting the air inlet and
the performance of the unit. This filter brush requires only a moderate initial
investment without consecutive maintenance costs as it contains no parts
subject to wear.
This filter brush is fixed to an aluminium ring, which can be put the appliance
into the water reservoir (see figure above). The electric flex of the appliance
must be drawn through the ring. The air required by the unit is then forced
to pass through the filter brush, which traps the fibrous dust. This prevents
the accumulation of dirt in the unit to a large extent, and maintenance can
be carried cut at correspondingly longer intervals.
Cleaning the filter brush
Depending on the dust load of the air, the filter brush requires cleaning on
a more or less regular basis. The cleaning procedure is simple: remove the
aluminium ring with the brush, then clean the filter, either:
– using a vacuum cleaner or
– using compressed air (not in the same room) or
– using fresh water (from tap or water-hose).
Wait until the dust filter is completely dry before reinstalling it, otherwise the
bristles may get out of shape thus reducing the performance of the filter.
If you are using a water container larger than the 6-litres control basin, cover
the container with a sheet-metal plate or a piece of cardboard, then cut out
a round hole corresponding to the diameter of the 6-litres basin. This recess
holds the unit and the dust filter.
