A dust collector is a system used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from air or gas. Designed to handle high-volume dust loads, a dust collector system consists of a blower, dust filter, a filter-cleaning system, and a dust receptacle or dust removal system. It is distinguished from air cleaners, which use disposable filters to remove dust. The father of the dust collector was Wilhelm Beth from Lübeck.
Five principal types of industrial dust collectors are:
1.Inertial separators
2.Fabric filters
3.Wet scrubbers
4.Electrostatic precipitators
5.Unit collectors
