The EM Profi collector uses long-life coarse and fine filter demisters followed by a final-stage HEPA filter with combined efficiencies of 99.9 percent on particles of 0.3 micron and larger. This is much higher than capture efficiencies achieved with fiberglass V-bag filters, which lose efficiency as media becomes saturated. A patented automatic sprayer counteracts emulsion clumping, ensuring that the separators can operate 24/7 almost maintenance-free.
During routine annual maintenance, the unit is easily serviced from the ground by a single technician, eliminating extra manpower and lift equipment. Service life between change-outs is up to six years for demister filters and two years for HEPA filters. Large maintenance doors and quick-clamping elements facilitate fast, tool-less filter replacement.
Due to these features, Handte EM Profi collectors achieve substantial savings through reduced downtime, longer change-out cycles and increased productivity and reliability.
Sturdy modular construction is another benefit. Basic modules can handle air volumes from 1,700 – 8,000 cfm, with a wide range of accessories and configurations for optimum flexibility. Modules can be combined to accommodate larger airflow requirements. Small space-saving models are also offered for low airflow applications of 500 – 1,400 cfm.
Last year, US-based Camfil APC acquired Handte, the leading German provider of mist collectors, wet scrubbers and other environmental products, with 120+ years of experience and worldwide auto site references. Handte’s offerings complement the equipment offered by Camfil APC, a leading global manufacturer of dust and fume collection systems and part of Camfil, the world’s largest air filtration company.
