DC-18 - 10,800 CFM

The DC-18 centrally ducted filter unit produces 4,500 to 10,800 CFM with 95%+ filter efficiency and is a direct machine-mounted, self-draining system designed for single-unit metalworking applications.
FUNCTION
Cartridge dust collector with (18) Clean 2® filters, 5 HP motor/blower and block-off Vibra-Pulse® filter cleaning. Motor starters/disconnects are not included. These collectors are ideal for most dust and smoke applications and they are especially recommended for harsh applications such as Laser & Plasma cutting or "Oily" weld smoke applications.

This unit has been designed to be placed outside including having the top panels angled to shed water. An access panel has been added to both sides of the clean air plenum to allow for easier maintenance on the block-off components, if needed. The cabinet also has a modular design to support multiple module units (DC-36, DC-54, etc.)

Available with:
  • Filter Options
  • Silencer Options
  • Preventative Maintenance Pressure Gauges
  • VFD Options
  • Fan and Motor Upgrades or Options
CONSTRUCTION
  • 12 Gauge steel cabinet finished with a 2-part chemical and oil resistant paint.
  • Includes removable end caps for easy access to filters, dust drawer
  • 6" (150mm) legs, pressure gauge to indicate filter changes
  • Automatic cleaning
  • Includes a direct drive radial motor/blower assembly.
  • Motor starters/disconnects NOT INCLUDED
  • Weight (lbs.): 1730
  • Dimensions: 55.00" W x 158.00"H x 58.00"D

Noise Level (dB):
  • 90/78 with silencer (3.0 HP)
  • 95/80 with silencer (5.0 HP, Radial)
  • 84/75 with silencer (5.0 HP, Backward Incline)
  • 84/75 with silencer (7.5 HP, Backward Incline)
KEY CRITERA
  • Complete, Self-Contained Unit: Economical; immediately functional.
  • Direct-Drive Blowers: Higher static pressure, longer filter life and greater reliability; no belts or pulleys to replace.
  • Non-Electrostatic Operation: High reliability, low maintenance.
  • Compressed Filter Mounting: Eliminates contaminant bypass of filters.
  • Vibra-Pulse® Filter Cleaning System: Cleans filters 75% more effectively than reverse pulse systems.
  • Auto-Clean Off-Line Filter Cleaning: Automatically cleans filters when unit is shut off.
  • Compressed Air Regulator: Maintains a downstream pressure regardless of the variations in flow.
  • Dust Drawer: Easily remove external dust drawer with positive lever lock.
SUITABLE FOR
Top 5 contaminants/processes/applications:

  • Welding
  • Plasma and Laser Cutting
  • Aerospace Machining
  • Grinding Sparks
  • Wood Dust
