Modular Filtration System & Operating Principle

The MDC range uses a modular negative-pressure filtration architecture, designed to maintain consistent airflow and high dust capture efficiency across varying industrial loads. Filtration media options include high-efficiency filter bags or cartridge systems, selected based on application requirements.

Filter Cleaning Technologies

• Shaker (Vibration) Cleaning System (MDC-S)
  Mechanical oscillation dislodges dust from filter media during shutdown cycles, restoring airflow performance and extending filter life.

• Compressed Air Pulse Jet System (MDC-P / MDC-PC)
  High-pressure air pulses clean filters during operation, ensuring continuous filtration and stable differential pressure control.

These systems reduce filter blinding, optimise airflow efficiency, and significantly extend service life.

Energy Efficiency & Smart System Control

All MDC systems integrate PLC-based automated control systems, enabling intelligent management of filtration performance, including:

• Differential pressure monitoring
• Automated cleaning cycle control
• Timer or demand-based operation logic

Optional Variable Speed Drive (VSD) integration allows real-time airflow adjustment based on system demand, reducing energy consumption during low-load or idle conditions while maintaining required capture velocities.

Continuous Operation & Material Handling

The MDC system incorporates a rotary airlock discharge system, enabling continuous dust removal into bins or screw conveyors without interrupting operation.
This ensures:

• Continuous production flow
• No system shutdown during waste discharge
• Stable extraction performance under heavy loading

Model Variants

• MDC-S – Shaker-cleaned bag filtration system (batch cleaning during shutdown)
• MDC-P – Pulse jet bag filtration system (continuous online cleaning)
• MDC-PC – Pulse jet cartridge filtration system (high-efficiency fine particulate capture)

Performance Range

• Airflow capacity: 4,000 m³/h to 250,000 m³/h
• Scalable from single-machine extraction to large multi-zone industrial ventilation systems
• Suitable for both point-source and centralised dust collection networks

Construction & Engineering Design Features

• Heavy-duty galvanised steel modular construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• High-efficiency centrifugal fan systems optimised for static pressure and reduced energy consumption
• Negative pressure containment design to prevent fugitive dust leakage
• Modular expansion capability for future system scaling without full replacement

Optional Engineering Configurations

• Stainless steel construction for corrosive, hygienic, or pharmaceutical environments
• Protective industrial coatings for harsh or outdoor applications
• Compliant explosion protection for combustible dust applications (e.g. grain, biomass, fine organic dust)
