Abstract
Technology improving the effect of cleaning a filter by a high pressure air current is provided. A first dust collector 27 has a housing into which a gas carrying capture material is carried; a filter 240 having a filter element 305 that captures the capture material, and an opening 305b from which air passing through the filter element 305 flows out; and an injector having a nozzle with an injection opening that injects a gas, moves the nozzle to a position in contact with the opening, and injects the gas from the injection opening 305b when the nozzle is in contact with the opening 305b.
Claims10
A collection device comprising:
- a housing into which a gas carrying capture material is carried;
- a filter having a filter element that captures the capture material, and an opening from which air passing through the filter element flows out;
- and
- an injector having a nozzle with an injection opening that injects a gas, moves the nozzle to a position in contact with the opening, and
- injects the gas from the injection opening when the nozzle is in contact with the opening.
A collection method of a collection device having a housing into which a gas carrying capture material is carried;
- a filter having a filter element that captures the capture material, and an opening from which air passing through the filter element flows out;
- and a nozzle with an injection opening that injects a gas,
- the collection method moving the nozzle to a position in contact with the opening, and injecting the gas from the nozzle when the nozzle is in contact with the opening.
A fibrous feedstock recycling device comprising:
- a defibrator configured to defibrate material containing fiber;
- a separator configured to separate defibrated material defibrated by the defibrator into first screened material containing the fiber, and second screened material containing components smaller than the fiber;
- a manufacturing device configured to make a recycled product from the first screened material separated by the separator;
- and
- a collector configured to capture the second screened material separated by the separator,
- the collector including a housing into which a gas carrying the second screened material is carried;
- a filter having a filter element that captures the second screened material, and an opening from which air passing through the filter element flows out;
- and
- an injector having a nozzle with an injection opening that injects a gas,
- moves the nozzle to a position in contact with the opening, and
- injects the gas from the injection opening when the nozzle is in contact with the opening.
