Dust collector offers zero-shutdown performance

The MCD is a modular conveyor drag-out system that was engineered for facilities with high dust loadings, or that operate continuously. The MCD Whirl Wet efficiently isolates particulates. When collected dust reaches a set point, the collection module is dragged out and replaced with an empty collection module, allowing operation (also routine maintenance) to continue without interruption. The Whirl Wet dust collector is a proven, practical answer for collecting virtually all dusts over 3 microns, whether or not the dusts are volatile.
