FDC Dust Collector Controller Ensures User-friendly, Reliable Pulse Cleaning
Jonesboro, Ark., January 2008 - Farr Air Pollution Control (APC) has introduced a new "FDC Controller" that provides user-friendly and reliable pulse cleaning control on all types of cartridge and baghouse dust collectors. Ideal for retrofit use, the system cleans filters only when dirty - saving on compressed air to reduce plant energy costs, while extending filter life to reduce maintenance and change-out costs.
A dust collector is only as effective as the system that controls its operation. Unlike previous control systems, which can be difficult to read and operate, the FDC Controller is the first to have Graphical User Interface (GUI) for ease of use, with clear, permanent instructions posted on the NEMA 4X water- and chemical-proof box. A pulse cleaning switch on the front of the box allows the user to clean "on demand" when the high pressure setting is reached and a dirty filter alarm sounds. By pulse-cleaning only when needed, less dust passes through the filters for reduced emissions.
The user can program the controller settings using a simple five-step intuitive procedure that is self-taught in less than a minute. The controller ships ready to install and includes fittings and air lines. Power requirements are 110/220 V, 50/60 Hz, 1-phase. The FDC Controller is UL and CE listed.
