Abstract
A support frame for dust collection system including a drum filter and a filter cleaning system is disclosed where the frame includes a plurality of octagonal supports spaced apart from each other in an axial direction defining an octagon-shaped peripheral profile. A plurality of axial members extend between adjacent octagonal supports, and end covers are secured to the frame members with each cover including a first inlet opening and a second inlet opening. The support frame may be used in a modular dust collection with a plurality of modular segments of filter media segments secured to the frame and a filter cleaner segments corresponding to the filter media segments.
Claims20
A support frame for dust collection system including a drum filter and a filter cleaning system, the support frame comprising:
- a plurality of octagonal supports spaced apart from each other in an axial direction, each octagonal support including a plurality of frame members that defining an octagon-shaped peripheral profile and outlining an octagon-shaped opening;
- a plurality of axial members, each axial member extending between adjacent octagonal supports of the plurality of octagonal supports;
- wherein one of the plurality of octagonal supports is configured as a first end support positioned at a first end of the support frame and a different one of the plurality of octagonal supports is configured as a second end support positioned at a second end of the support frame;
- and
- wherein the first end support and the second end support each include an end cover secured to the frame members of the first end support and the second end support and covering the octagon-shaped opening between the frame members, each cover including a first inlet opening and a second inlet opening.
A dust collection system comprising:
- a plurality of modular sections arranged in an end-to-end fashion in an axial direction from a first end to a second end, each of the modular sections including:
- a frame segment of a support frame, the frame segment including two adjacent octagonal supports spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and a plurality of axial members extending between the adjacent octagonal supports;
- a filter segment of a drum filter, the filter segment being secured to the frame segment and extending in the axial direction from the two adjacent octagonal supports;
- a cleaner segment of a filter cleaning assembly positioned within the filter segment, the cleaner segment including a shaft segment extending along the axial direction and a plurality of suction nozzles connected to the shaft segment and configured to clean the filter segment;
- wherein the plurality of modular sections includes a first end modular section that extends from a first end octagonal support at the first end to a first interior octagonal support and a second end modular section that extends from a second end octagonal support at the second end to a second interior octagonal support.
