woodbutcher74 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 One of my customers for my real job is Hon Manufacturing. They make office furniture. These cyclones draw the dust and debris from the milling machines and load directly into semi trailers. The duct work is big enough to crawl through. Just thought you guys might get a kick out a real dust collection system. They mill mostly MDF and you could eat off the floors. No dust anywhere inside. No masks required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Really cool. One of my vendors manufactures and fills for shipment, fire extinguishers, small to very large. A large percentage are dry chemical and they have a dust collector similar to this and their plant is spotless as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 When i graduated i applied to be a permit regulator for the MPCA. I basically would have went around and checked permits for industrial buildings. Part of me wishes i would have tried harder to land that job. Industrial bag houses and pollutant filtration systems are interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Meh. My workplace sports 2 "dust collectors", one of 2000 hp, the other has 4000 hp. And dust will still cover the floor inside to a depth of 8-10" in less than a month, if it isn't swept up on a daily basis. Google Earth to 35.727932,-88.812089 to see them from space. Steel recycling is a dirty, dirty business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I can hear the Jolly Green Giants false teeth rattling through the ducts ! Clean one source dust can be used in many processes. Mixed dust and chips probably goes to a landfill or possibly a furnace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it is radar and satellite photo overlay. Just zoomed in Google Earth. They capture from overhead and oblique angles and so you can get some sides of buildings. This seems like it pegged your facility as a village and constructed a badly textured wireframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpNC Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just did some "back of the napkin" calculations... At a typical electrical rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour, I came up with $931,008 to run both of those (total 6000HP) for 40 hours a week for a year. Wow, a million bucks just to run the DC!

Actually, our electic bill exceeds $1.25M per month. And our rate is well below $0.10 / kwh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recycle scrap steel and produce long bar products, angles, channels, flats, etc... It is a VERY high cash flow industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
