DCH-3 Self-Contained Collection System - 2000 CFM

Function:

The DCH-3 is designed to collect dry airborne contaminants such as dust, smoke, and process particulate before they spread through the facility. It can be connected to capture arms, hoods, ductwork, or other source-capture accessories to pull contaminated air directly from the emission point and filter it through a cartridge filtration system.

This model is built for higher-airflow applications, offering up to 2000 CFM through a 10" inlet collar. The direct-drive blower design provides strong static pressure and reliable performance without belts or pulleys, reducing maintenance requirements while supporting longer filter life.

The DCH-3 includes a manual vibratory cartridge cleaning system to help release dust from the filters and maintain airflow. An optional automatic cleaning package can clean the filters when the unit shuts down, helping reduce operator involvement and supporting more consistent maintenance routines.

Main options include:

• Automatic filter cleaning system
• Pressure gauge kit for filter monitoring
• External HEPA after-filter rated at 99.97% efficiency
• External 95% DOP after-filter option
• External adsorption module for gases and odours
• Combined HEPA and adsorption after-filter package
• Custom cartridge media for application-specific dusts
• Standard 14-gallon external dust container
• Optional 55-gallon drum stand configuration
• Intelligent controls for energy savings and reduced noise levels

Construction:

The DCH-3 is constructed from a 12/14/16 gauge welded steel cabinet with a durable powder-coated finish. The cabinet includes a removable end cap for easy cartridge filter access and a removable back panel for access to the direct-drive motor and blower compartment.

The unit is supplied with (2) CLEAN-2 cartridge filters, each providing 220 sq. ft. of filter media, for a total of 440 sq. ft. of cartridge filtration area. The compressed filter mounting design helps reduce contaminant bypass and keeps captured particulate moving through the intended filtration path.

The standard blower package includes a 3 HP TEFC motor, 208-230/460/3/60 electrical configuration, and a spark-resistant direct-drive blower. Standard operating noise level is approximately 77 dBA. The unit includes a 10" diameter inlet collar located on top and a removable 14-gallon external dust container for collected material.

Overall unit dimensions are approximately 66" L x 26" W x 72" H, with an approximate unit weight of 495 lbs. The optional external HEPA, DOP, or adsorption after-filter modules add depth to the unit and allow the collector to be configured for applications that require higher-efficiency final filtration or odour control.

Key Buying Criteria:

• Airflow Capacity: Rated up to 2000 CFM, making it suitable for larger source-capture applications, multiple pickup points, or higher-volume dust and smoke collection requirements.
• Filtration Area: Includes 440 sq. ft. of total cartridge media, helping support longer filter life and lower maintenance frequency compared with smaller collectors.
• Filter Cleaning: The vibratory filter cleaning system helps keep cartridges clear and can be upgraded to automatic cleaning for easier maintenance.
• Maintenance Access: Removable access panels and a low-profile cabinet design help speed up filter changeouts, blower access, and routine service.
• Direct-Drive Blower: No belts or pulleys to maintain, offering improved reliability and lower ongoing maintenance.
• After-Filter Options: HEPA, DOP, and adsorption modules should be considered when the application requires fine particulate control, higher-efficiency filtration, gas adsorption, or odour reduction.
• Dust Disposal: Standard 14-gallon dust container is suitable for many applications; higher dust-loading processes may benefit from the optional 55-gallon drum stand configuration.
• Application Fit: Best suited for dry dust and smoke applications. For combustible dust, sparks, heavy oil mist, wet particulate, or reactive materials, confirm the full system design with an application engineer before purchasing.
