The Vital Importance of Dust Collection
and Bulk Material Handling for the Ethanol Industry
Ethanol Applications
Here are common Ethanol applications where CAMCORP has extensive experience:
Receiving & Storage
Almost all dust found in a grain elevator or facility is created at the grain receiving pits. Dust generated by elevator legs, transfer points, and scale bins can be ducted to a single fabric dust collector to reduce housekeeping and the chance of an explosion. Ducting a dust collector to a dryer is also recommended. When grain is emptied into storage bins and silos, dust is created as the air is displaced as the storage vessel is filled. Bin vents installed on top of these bins collect the dust as it’s created.
- Truck and Railcar Loading and Unloading
- Grain Storage and Transfer
- Grain Receiving
- Grain pre-cleaning
Dry Grinding of Corn
As the corn is needed for further processing, it is conveyed to screeners, separators, aspirators, stoners, and scourers all of which create dust that can be ducted to a single or multiple dust collector(s). Maximize DDGS yield from the hammermill with a dust collector and pneumatically convey it back to the process.
- Screening and Separating
- Destoning and Scouring
- Hammermill Grinding
DDGS Loadout, Cooling, and Storage
A dust collector is critical when loading DDGS into silos, bins, or hoppers. A fine dust cloud is created and a properly sized dust collector for the application will minimize dust from areas that are not rated for combustible dust. In addition to fire and ignition safety, CAMCORP can help to mitigate the loud noise that is created from pneumatic conveyor blowers by providing a blower package complete with a sound enclosure.
- DDGS cooling interim storage
- Transferring of large amounts of co-products

Best Equipment for Ethanol Dust Collection and Bulk Material Handling
Air pollution control solutions for Ethanol producers. CAMCORP helps to keep your facility safe from harmful dust accumulations that can have a negative impact on meeting your delivery goals and customer satisfaction.Pulse Jet Baghouse
CAMCORP is best known for manufacturing highly specialized Pulse Jet Baghouses including high-pressure, high-vacuum, and explosion-containment designs. CAMCORP also offers a complete range of standard Pulse Jet Baghouses with styles ranging from bottom or top loading bags to walk-in clean air plenums with a variety of inlet configurations.
- All welded heavy-duty construction
- Structural supports engineered for location
- Pressure/vacuum rating +/- 20” W.C. or as required
- Standard materials of construction: carbon steel, stainless steel, and special alloys
- Standard electrical: NEMA 4 timer and solenoid enclosures, or as required
- On-demand cleaning timer board
- Instrumentation for remote monitoring
- Explosion venting suppression per NFPA 68
- OSHA approved service platforms
- Paint: standard white or envirogreen industrial 2-part epoxy
Vertical Cartridge CAM-AIRO™
The CAMCORP CAM-AIRO is uniquely engineered to solve nearly all dry dust
and fume collection challenges. The vertical design of the CAM-AIRO cartridge
collector optimizes virtually 100% of the filter media area, unlike horizontal designs that can sacrifice nearly 30% of the filter media area over time.
- All welded heavy-duty construction
- Housing rated for: +/- 25” W.C.
- Interior dirty air plenum primed
- Exterior primed and finished standard white or envirogreen industrial 2-part epoxy
- Cartridge elements factory installed
- Standard 80/20 cellulose/synthetic blend filter media
- Access ladders and service platforms
- NEMA 4 electrical enclosures
- Explosion venting or suppression
- On-demand pulse cleaning optional
Reverse Air
Reverse Air models HVP™ (Medium Pressure) & SWF™ (Low Pressure) dust collector series are the premium choice for processing and manufacturing industries where high air volumes and heavy dust loading are common.
The CAMCORP reverse air dust collector requires no plant compressed air. CAMCORP leads the industry with the most standard sizes and customize-able configurations available to solve virtually all dust collection challenges. Capacities range to over 250,000 CFM.
Bin Vents
Bin vents by CAMCORP have the features and benefits of a pulse jet baghouse and cartridge filter collectors. Bin vents do not typically incorporate a hopper, but instead are mounted on top of dust generating equipment such as silos, mixers, scale hoppers, and mechanical conveyors. Instead of discharging the captured dust into a hopper, when using CAMCORP bin vents, the pulse-cleaned dust falls directly back into the process equipment it has been mounted to. A CAMCORP bin vent dust collector is also designed to meet critical combustible dust standards and can include OSHA approved service platforms and ladders. The filtering system can be designed to use bags and cages, or cartridges, or tailored to fit your application.
- Correct selection of filter media to meet the application requirements
- NEMA 4, 4X, 7, 9 or 12 electrical enclosures on all collectors
- Explosion venting per NFPA 68
- Paint selected for the application
- On-demand cleaning timer board
- Instrumentation for remote monitoring
- OSHA approved service platforms
Pneumatic Conveying
& Bulk material handling
Pneumatic conveying is essential for automating manual processes that improve production efficiency, provide quality control and reduce labor costs.
- Dilute phase pneumatic conveying
- Filter Receivers
- Bag dump stations
- Airlocks
- Blower packages
- Central vacuum system
- Bulk bag unloader
- Negative airlift
