Airwasher – Wet Style Lint Collector

What is the operating principle? 
The Wet Style filter uses a water curtain to rulter the lint. The dryer exhaust is forced downward through a multi-spray head water fall curtain. The exhaust is then pulled upward and out of the filter by a tubeaxial mounted on the filter. The water and lint are too heavy to be pulled upward and out of the filter, gravity pulls the water and lint to a sump at the bottom of the filter. The lint is filtered into a bag, the water screened a pumped back to the filter.

How much power required? 
All wet filters have a 2.5 HP pump and a 5-hp-10hp fan. The Airwasher can be ordered single or three phase depending on the laundry power. Motor starters are required to operate the pump and fan.

How is backpressure controlled as dryers turn on and off? 
The filters have standard barometric damper doors that open to mix air from the atmosphere as dryers cycle off.

Isn’t a variable frequency drive optimum in controlling the airflow? Absolutely! Our optional VFD speed control varies the speed of the exhaust fan based upon backpressure. The result is that as dryers cycle on and off, constant optimum backpressure recommended by the dryer manufacturer is maintained.
