Portable Dust Collectors

HaF portable dust collectors offer a flexible dust control solution for applications that require mobility, temporary installation, or changing process conditions. Designed for easy integration into bulk material handling operations, portable units help capture airborne dust at points of transfer, maintenance areas, or short term processing locations—supporting cleaner environments, operator safety, and effective dust control where a fixed system may not be practical.

Wet Dust Collectors

HaF offers wet dust collector systems designed for applications where dry filtration is not ideal, including moist, sticky, combustible, or food‑grade dusts. Wet dust collectors use liquid media to capture airborne particulates, helping control dust while supporting safe operation, sanitation, and regulatory requirements. HaF wet dust collectors are engineered to integrate with existing process and air handling systems and are commonly applied in food, dairy, and industrial environments where cleanability and operator safety are critical.

Process‑Integrated Dust Collection Systems

HaF dust collection systems are designed to be fully integrated into bulk material handling processes, rather than operating as isolated components. This approach improves dust control performance while supporting operator safety and process efficiency. Common process‑integrated applications include:

Bulk bag filling systems

where dust is extracted directly at the filling head to prevent airborne material and product loss.

Bulk bag unloaders and bag break stations

using a slight vacuum draft to protect operators during bag opening, dumping, and material transfer.

Truck unload and silo vent applications

where bin vents and dust filters allow displaced air to escape while retaining product within the system.

Filter Media & Aftermarket Support

HaF offers ongoing support for both filter receivers and dust collectors through:

Stocked polypropylene and PTFE‑coated filter bags in multiple sizes

Guidance on filter media selection based on material characteristics

Parts, audits, and service support for both HaF and non‑HaF equipment.
