PathFinder Concepts, LLC unveils breakthrough technology for dust collection of fine particles.

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- The DustFinder system is capable of maintaining constant cfm while collecting fine dust such as: concrete dust, wood dust, terrazzo dust, marble dust, drywall dust, powder-coating dust, fiberglass dust and much more. The filters are sequentially blasted with a burst of air from the blower exhaust chamber. This automated process ejects any dust/debris from the surface of the filter allowing a continuous flow of air.

The DustFinder, like any vacuum system, is only as good as the filters that are collecting the dust. PathFinder™ has consulted with Donaldson® Torit®, a leading worldwide manufacturer of innovative filter technology to provide the most efficient filter solution. They have specified their proven and patented Spun Bond Ultra-Web® technology that delivers longer filter life, cleaner air and greater cost savings than other types of cartridge filter media. Made with an electro spinning process that produces a very fine, continuous, resilient fiber of 0.2-0.3 micron in diameter, Ultra-Web forms a permanent nanofiber web with very fine inter-fiber spaces that trap dust on the surface of the media. The Ultra-Web requires substantially less energy to clean and prevents debris from penetrating deep into the pores of the filter.

Additionally, the PathFinder team has incorporated several innovative yet logical features that provide expediential value for the end user. For example, the simple unload valve provides several options for removing the dust and debris accumulated. The valve keeps the debris enclosed in the tank until it is time to unload and with a simple turn of the rotating lever, the system will unload the contents of the tank into one of several removal containers (bag, bucket or tank).

The suction for the DustFinder DF31z is provided by Ametek/Lamb®. PathFinder consulted with the product engineers at Ametek/Lamb to locate a motor that would out-perform and out-last the low scale constructed motors typically found in vacuums. The maneuverability of the DustFinder is second to none with the mobile cart that is made of steel tubing and equipped with large 8” wheels and 5” casters. Lastly, the snap lock inlet holds the hose in place while allowing it to swivel freely. This feature is very useful when connected to any mobile abrading equipment.
