mprovements at Abodo

last 12 years and have never had a need to re-visit any joinery customers to clear a blockage in ducts as the air flows are calculated correctly in the first place. All wood dust customers are in fact still operating on the original bags. “Yes they may have paid $2-3000 more for a larger filter initially, but 10 years with no issues means they are saving money” confirms Geoff Ebdon.

If you ask too small a filter unit to handle too much air and dust, instead of the dust cake forming gently on the surface of the filter material, it gets driven deep into the pile of the material and starts to clog. Once this happens it’s a downhill slope of poor filtration, dust in the work area and dangerous issues, (potential fire risk) in the ductwork. “When it comes to filters (commonly called bag houses) a good ‘big’ one will always beat a good ‘little’ one for longer life and less problems.” says Geoff

Modular Bag Houses may be one of the older filter methods, but they are still often A VERY

COST EFECTIVE solution for high air volumes and heavy dust loads in not only the wood working industry but others also.

NZ DUCT+FLEX offer a range of filters from 1000m³/hour to well over 100,000m³/hour if it’s required.

Ultimately Abodo was extremely happy with the solution – the installers who are NZDUCT+FLEX’s own staff made it very easy to link back to the existing system inside, providing all the parts immediately from the large stock available from their 2 Auckland warehouses.
