Florida Tile upgrades from Baghouse to Wet Collection System.

Florida Tile experienced high maintenance, and unplanned shut-downs due to a dry scrubber (bag house) on a glazing operation. The high weight and moisture of the glaze made it difficult to contain the overspray and caused frequent production stoppages. Maintenance was costly, involving both the bag house and ventilation hoods.

Florida Tile changed from dry dust collection to wet dust collection, and first installed two polypropylene Whirl Wet dust collectors. Three additional Whirl Wet dust collectors were installed subsequently to replace the remaining bag houses.

Whirl Wet dust collectors are self-cleaning and will not clog, or stop production. Captured material is reclaimed from scrubbers and hoods at close to 100% efficiency. The system is virtually a closed loop: incoming water is used, then recycled, leaving as sanitary sewage or steam. Water use and energy use, are both low.

Whirl Wet dust collectors are widely used by manufacturers of tile, stone and brick, for the collection of particulate and dusts, and for the collection of overspray in glazing operations.
