3M® plant in London, Ontario, Canada, installed N.R. Murphy’s pulse jet/continuous clean dust collector (not exactly as shown).

There has been an increased demand for respiratory protection products following the outbreak of a newly identified coronavirus (COVID-19). In response, 3M® is increasing respiratory production to help meet the demand.

To ensure a clear air working environment, 3M® in London, Ontario has installed an N.R. Murphy Ltd. pulse jet/continuous clean dust collector. Air quality is important in all work environments to keep employees healthy and productive. N.R. Murphy has supplied air-quality solutions for more than 75 years, especially dust collection equipment.

The company’s lineup has something for every work environment, from mild hazards to enormous levels of dust. Sawmills and woodworking shops, for example, require powerful equipment to collect the high amount of dust they spill into the air. N.R Murphy’s cyclones are essential for these workplaces. A cyclone offers a simple, economical way of separating in medium-to-coarse environments.

Useful as primary separators

Customers in all industries use N.R. Murphy cyclones as primary separators that operate ahead of other dust collectors. These cyclones blend centrifugal action with gravity to achieve both dust collection and separation. They are designed and constructed with higher efficiency on small dust particles, on top of more up-to-date requirements.

N.R. Murphy Ltd. offers many types of dust collection equipment

N.R. Murphy’s impressive line of collectors includes four main series and a few specialized systems. With such a diverse portfolio, N.R. Murphy offers dust collection equipment suitable for applications in various industries, including agriculture, the automotive sector, metal manufacturing, plastics and woodworking.

From cyclones to tube-style filters

N.R. Murphy produces dust collectors for specific applications, including cyclones. Cyclones are useful as primary separators ahead of other dust collectors in virtually every industry. In addition, the MRX series consists of portable models for machines with low dust volume, recommended for indoor workspaces with low headroom. These units are easy to assemble and install.

The company offers four primary series of dust collection equipment:

• FB series. Cylindrical, tube-style filters with mechanical cleaning, ideal for small metalworking shops, schools, afterfilers for cyclones and venting silos. Sizes go from 11-inch inlet diameters to 138-inch collector diameters. Relevant industries include cement, mining, pulp and paper, printing, textiles, food processing and wood.

• HE series. This series includes two types of continuous-duty, automatic self-cleaning collectors. Built in square, rectangular and round modules, the HEC is perfect for multi-shift operations in which clean, dry, in-plant compressed air is available for filtering dust-laden air. The HEF is designed in circular modules and suits applications that need constant cleaning with higher dust loads and no compressed air available. Good for the cement, chemical, foundry, mining, pharmaceutical and wood-processing sectors.

• MK series. Available in four designs of square or rectangular tube-style filters with mechanical cleaning. High performance with all kinds of dust particles. Popular in educational institutions, but also recommended for food processing, foundries, powder paint, printing, textiles and wood. • C series. Three cartridge-type units for fine-dust applications that need large filter areas. The CMT and CMTE are inexpensive units for small applications; the CP is a continuous cleaner for larger tasks. Recommended for chemicals, food processing, pharmaceuticals, welding smoke and plasma cutting.
