Key Features

• Automated Pulse-Jet Maintenance: The DCM-80A collector periodically blasts compressed air through the interior of the filter cartridge, knocking settled dust into the hopper to prevent clogging and pressure drop.
• Superior Cabinet Visibility: High 800 CFM ventilation keeps fine media dust and debris moving out of the working chamber rapidly.
• Continuous Media Reclamation: High-efficiency cyclone reclaimer separates fine dust from reusable abrasive media, significantly lowering media consumption costs.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: All-welded heavy-gauge steel cabinet body designed for long-term production use.
• Interlocked Dual Doors: Safety interlocks automatically stop media flow if a door is opened during operation.
