N.R. Murphy serves customers as a team of experts in dust collection.

N.R. Murphy Limited has close to 80 years logged as a premier source of dust collectors across the continent. But the company is more than a product supplier. It also serves clients as a team of experts who provide top advice. A key example: N.R. Murphy offers an easy four-step guide on evaluating dust collectors before buying them. These convenient tips help customers to select the most suitable products for their requirements and get the most out of them.

Take factors into consideration

First, customers should take certain factors into consideration as they determine the right sizes and configurations of products. For example, how many machines in the system create dust? What is the pickup size of every one? What material will be collected, and at what weight? Which cleaning type is appropriate, shaker-style or continuous?

After these initial questions, N.R. Murphy advises four steps in evaluating dust collectors. First, make a list of all dust-producing equipment. Identify the locations of these machines and calculate the total air volume that the system needs. Consider all the weight and flow characteristics of the collected material during this first step.

Second step: determine the location for the collector. It is crucial to consider accessibility for installation and for waste-disposal vehicles, in addition to whether the unit will be outside or inside. The national fire-safety codes should be consulted for the correct indoor size. After determining the location, the focus is on designing the ducting layout, sizing the branch lines and main duct, and calculating the system’s static pressure.

The next step in evaluation of dust collectors is to determine the filter area that the system requires. This task involves knowing the correct air-to-cloth ratio, depending on the type and physical properties of the collected material and the unit’s duty cycle. Finally, it is vital to find a reputable manufacturer, a company with the appropriate expertise and the right products for high-end dust-collection systems.

With decades of experience in this specific field, the N.R. Murphy team helps all of its customers to find their ideal air-quality solutions.
