Precoater

Function:

By creating a sacrificial barrier on filter surfaces, pre-coating prevents direct contact between captured contaminants and the filter media. This process reduces filter loading, minimizes energy draw, and significantly extends filter lifespan — especially in environments with heavy oil mist, smoke, or fine particulate concentrations. The system can be configured for various dust collector models and ducting networks, and operates in coordination with IVEC Command control software for data logging, predictive maintenance, and optimization of filter cleaning cycles. Main system features and options include:

• Automated mechanical dosing and pre-coat application
• Measured loading for consistent coating thickness and accuracy
• Compatible with IVEC Command smart control systems
• Low-maintenance operation and simple calibration
• Can be retrofit to existing collection systems
• Available in multiple hopper and feed configurations

Construction:

The IVEC PreCoat System is built from industrial-grade components, including a steel hopper with an integrated feed auger, pneumatic injection system, and precise mechanical metering controls. All components are powder-coated for corrosion resistance and long service life. The system interfaces directly with the collector inlet ductwork to evenly distribute pre-coat material before entering the filtration chamber. When combined with IVEC Command, operators can monitor air pressure differential, flow rates, and pre-coat application metrics remotely via a desktop or smart device. The control panel enclosure is NEMA-rated and compatible with IVEC’s intelligent network controls for remote system management.

Key Buying Criteria:

• Filter Life Extension: Prevents filter clogging to extend service intervals and reduce replacement frequency.
• Energy Efficiency: Maintains optimal airflow to lower fan horsepower demand and energy costs.
• Automation: Mechanically measured and fully automated dosing minimizes operator intervention.
• System Integration: Seamlessly integrates with IVEC Command for intelligent performance tracking.
• Maintenance Reduction: Keeps filters clean longer, reducing manual cleaning and unplanned downtime.
• Consistent Performance: Provides uniform pre-coat coverage for stable differential pressure and airflow.
• Scalable Design: Suitable for both new installations and retrofit upgrades.
