CAMCORP & POWDER & BULK SOLIDS

The Vital Importance of Dust Collection

and Bulk Material Handling for the Powder and Bulk Solids Industry

Dry processing and powder bulk solids handling can mean a lot of things. Whether you produce building materials, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, rubber, or even food products more than likely your production is creating dust, or you need to move product from one place to another.

CAMCORP delivers dust collection, pneumatic conveying, and bulk material handling solutions throughout North America to the powder and bulk solids market. Manufacturers have come to trust CAMCORP to maximize reliability and maintain air quality compliance without sacrificing production.

Powder and Bulk Solids producers trust CAMCORP for:
Ensuring APC equipment and pneumatic conveying systems never have a negative effect on production
Maximizing reliability and availability of equipment
Anticipating the unintended consequences of process changes to filtration systems
Minimizing planned shutdown timelines
Efficiently utilizing energy for fans and compressors
Tying multiple objectives into a common approach
Reducing maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) spending on dust filtration

Powder and Bulk Solids Application

Here are some of the powder and bulk solids applications where CAMCORP has extensive experience:

Dust Collection

CAMCORP industrial dust collection systems are designed and engineered to your specific application. When it comes to selecting equipment to manage air quality, a standard model may not be the right solution to achieve your goals. Our dust collection systems can be designed to meet what seem to be impossible situations. CAMCORP offers the largest selection of customize-able industrial dust collectors and baghouses. In addition, we use the most advanced filtration media technologies available.

Pneumatic Conveying

CAMCORP helps customers to automate manual processes that improve production efficiency, provide quality control, and reduce labor costs. CAMCORP pneumatic conveying experts have tackled every application and know there isn’t a one-size fits all solution. They require complex integration of precise weighing, inventory management, minor and micro ingredient additions to recipes, alarm notification for upset conditions or variations from standards, report generation and many other processes you may require operating your system.

Best Equipment for Powder and Bulk Solids Industries

Solutions for Powder and Bulk Solids Industries – from building materials, chemicals, and plastic and paper, 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 Baghouses

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

Reverse-Air Dust Collectors

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.

Cyclones

Cyclones have a unique place in the air pollution control industry. They can be used for larger particulate applications as a stand-alone dust collector or cyclones can serve as a primary separator prior to a baghouse.

Depending on the efficiency expectation, product and gas stream characteristics, and downstream equipment, cyclones are available with or without disengagement chambers.

SE Series: 120 – 8,000 CFM
HE Series: 2,200 – 12,600 CFM
HV Series: 6,200 – 71,600 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.
