Dust collector combines variable speed fan motor with cyclone

Designed for high-pressure applications, Oneida Air’s Smart Boost dust collectors combine variable speed fan motors with the separation performance of a cyclone. Powered by brushless motors, the systems optimize CFM and static pressure by automatically adjusting the collector’s fan speed (RPM), which delivers twice the airflow of standard fixed-speed collectors. Systems available as wall mount or free-standing, from 3-5HP, and with a reinforced steel dust bin.

Edge coating technology

Hymmen edge coating technology enables the automatic, high-speed coating of both panel surfaces and edges in a single pass. It supports speeds up to 10 to 120 m/min and widths of up to 3,000 mm. The material passes through a process that can include various steps such as an edge-coating stage in which the front and rear edges are coated, and, in a subsequent stage, the longitudinal edges are coated.
