To more effectively service the food, pharmaceutical, plastic and manufacturing industry we decided to add a cartridge filter collector to our line of dust collection equipment which compliments our bag and cyclone designs. We wanted a collector that met MacDonald Steel’s high standards in quality, performance, and applicability to many different industries.  After an exhaustive search of the cartridge collector industry, we selected the Farr Air Pollution control equipment to distribute.

Farr Air Pollution Control Equipment is based in Arkansas and owned by the Camfil Farr Group.   Farr specializes in cartridge collectors for industries that require the filtration of fine dust or fumes.  With their advanced cartridges Farr’s filter efficiency is 99.99% on 0.5 micron and larger particles by weight with and Air Permeability of 25-35 cfm/sq.ft. w.c.  With after filtering available you can be certain of the unit meeting your pollution and Health and Safety needs.  In addition all units are manufactured to the latest National Fire Protection codes.

Please contact us for more information on installing cartridge filters.

MacDonald Steel is pleased to introduce its mid size pulse collectors.  These units are designed for the small to medium size operation that requires continuous cleaning of their filter under operation.  The 4 unit sizes available have 440, 605, 825 and 984 square feet of filter media.  All units have 5 ¼” dia bags that are 96” long.  The units are made to MacDonald Steel’s high quality standard and designed for over 30” of water pressure.  This high standard will give the units a long service life.

The primary target of this collector is the wood industry, but it also has applications in the cement, food and paper industries.

MacDonald Steel offers a full line of equipment including dust collectors up to 130 000 cfm, fans, bin covers, rotary airlocks, spark detection equipment and cyclones.

A custom pneumatic system with a Pulse Air pneumatic system filter in Canada is suitable for a variety of applications where dust filtration is required.

The Pulse Air pneumatic system filter is ideal for a custom pneumatic system in Canada. It delivers dust filtration during blasting, woodworking and other industrial processes. Our Pulse Air filter is excellent as a blasting dust collector.

• Up to 130 000 cfm

The MacDonald Steel Pulse Air collector/filter system is a cleaning cycle is controlled by a solid state printed circuit timer which progressively energizes the air valves to admit sharp bursts of compressed air through the individual compressed air headers located in the clean air plenum.

Orifices located in the individual headers direct the compressed air downwards into the filter tubes. This sets up a shock wave, flexing the filter tube and dislodging the dust particles that have been captured on the outside of the bags. This collected dust then drops into the cone below.

The cleaning cycle is continuous and automatic. Pulsations occur with the fan(s) running and without the need for dampers or secondary blowers.

The Reverse Air pneumatic system filter in Canada is ideal for a custom pneumatic system. It delivers dust filtration during blasting, woodworking and other industrial processes. Our Reverse Air filter is excellent as a blasting dust collector.

• Up to 130 000 cfm

The MacDonald Steel Reverse Air collector filter unit is of panel construction for bolted assembly. Dust laden air enters the separator section below the filter bags, passes through the filter media with dust being captured and deposited on the outside of the individual filter tubes.

The clean air progresses upward through the filter tubes into the clean air plenum and is exhausted through the outlet. The filter bags are continuously cleaned using an internally mounted blower.

The Shaker Type pneumatic system filter in Canada is ideal for a custom pneumatic system. It delivers dust filtration during blasting, woodworking and other industrial processes. Our Shaker Type filter is excellent as a blasting dust collector.

The MacDonald Steel Shaker Type collector/filter is a high quality dust filtration system that allows very little down time to clean the bags. Dust laden air enters the separator section below the filter bags, passes through the filter media with dust being captured and deposited on the inside of the individual filter tubes.

The clean air progresses upward through the filter tubes and past the shaker assembly to the clean air outlet. The filter tubes are physically shaken to dislodge the dust, which is activated every time the collector/filter is shut down. The dust is then collected in the cone below for easy disposal. Our collector/filter is made of panel and bolted flanged sections to give it a very strong structure.

Macdonald Steel has developed a NEW mid range duct collector.

This Mid Range dust collector is available up to 12,000 cfm.

The modular construction was design to allow for ease of shipping, quick bolt together assembly

This unit was designed for Small woodworking shops, schools. Collected waste can be unloaded into drums or optional equipment for continuous unloading into a small haul away container.

We feel we can ship this cost effectively next door or across the country to meet the needs of customers and dealers alike.
