Custom Inlet Design
Unlike most other cartridge collectors, the cdc offers turning vanes and baffles which evenly distribute air and dust while minimizing housing turbulence and cartridge abrasion. This engineered inlet design is standard in cdc collectors, not a high cost option.
Tuned inlet results in higher removal efficiencies, extended cartridge life, and reduced energy consumption.

Single Door Entry
The cdc includes a large panel door for access to multiple cartridge rows without entering the housing. Immediate access to the entire dirty air side is ensured for all maintenance. (Our competitors' designs have an individual door for each cartridge element and limited dirty air plenum access.)
Allows for more rapid inspection, maintenance, and filter replacement compared with most other cartridge units.

Cartridge Support and Clamping System
Full length cartridge cradle supports with locator studs ensure perfect cartridge alignment every time. Common competitive designs use a loose-fitting cartridge supports often leaving one cartridge end unsupported. Flex-Kleen's easy-to-use clamping system prevents twisting or torquing during compression and cirtually eliminates gasket distortion.
Clamping system eliminates a major source of dust leaks and ensures peak operating efficiency.

Pulse Venturis
The cdc collector uses premium venturis, a feature not found on all cartridge units because of antiquated designs, cost, or a combination of both.
Ensures the most economical and effective cartridge pulsing.

Pulse Control
The cdc system uses one of Flex-Kleen's premium pulse-on-demand timers, with photohelic control.
Minimizes compressed air needs, maximizes collector efficiency, and reduces fan energy costs.

Off-line Pulsing
Pulse timer board incorporates Flex-Kleen's "smart chip", which initiates automatic pulse cleaning each time the fan is shut down. Pre-processed dust volumes are not re-processed upon start-up. You are not handling the same dust twice.
Feature prevents residual dust build-up resulting in reduced pressure drop and the cleanest possible cartridges at the time of each start-up.

Housing Construction
Welded 12-gauge construction, externally stiffened to 20"w.g., coupled with no internal ledges, ensures that residual dust is not left in the collector- an important consideration in both process and hazardous dust collection.
Solid construction and no internal ledges results in a durable, long-life collector.
