Purpose and intended use
The ArrestAll is intended for intermittent dust collection and is best suited for
dry free flowing dusts. Examples of such applications would be woodworking
shops, small sanding booths, cement, clay, etc. It is not intended for dust
collection that is continuous, heavy dust loads, or for small particulate.
3.3
Normal Operation
Dust laden air is drawn into the inlet where it turns vertically 90 degrees,
causing the heavier particles to fall into the collection container below. The fine
particles are drawn to the fabric pockets and trapped on the surface, forming a
dust cake which increases efficiency. The clean air flows from the pockets into the
fan and is discharged. The collected dust is periodically removed from the fabric
pockets by an automatic shaker system.
3.4
Sizes
There are 12 unique ArrestAll sizes, ranging from an AR1-3 through an AR6-
25. The first number in the name designation is the number of filters in the unit,
the second number is the fan horsepower. This means an AR4-20 has 4 filters and
a 20HP fan.
The standard funnel bottom design is available on all unit sizes, as is the bin
vent design. The Dust Drawer design is only available on the AR1-3 as a standard
design. The Dust Cart is only available on the AR1-3 through the AR3-15L as a
standard design.
