Morgan Rushworth PL-Series Filter Units

The Morgan Rushworth PL-Series Filter Units are purpose-built for the extraction and dedusting of dust, fumes, and smoke generated during plasma, laser, and oxy-fuel cutting operations. Unlike standard dust collectors, these units incorporate advanced features and technologies to address the unique challenges posed by cutting processes. Their specialised design ensures effective performance, long filter life, and enhanced workplace safety, making them an essential solution for modern industrial environments.

Cutting operations, especially plasma and laser cutting, generate fine particulates and harmful fumes that demand advanced filtration capabilities. The PL-Series Filter Units not only meet these demands but exceed expectations, offering proven reliability and exceptional filtration efficiency.

Unique Challenges in Cutting Applications

1. Fine Particle Filtration Needs
Plasma and laser cutting processes produce extremely fine particles, often averaging 0.15 microns in size. These ultra-fine particulates can cause immediate filter clogging in standard dust collectors, resulting in reduced performance and increased maintenance. The PL-Series units are specifically designed to handle these fine particles, ensuring smooth operation and consistent air quality.

2. Difficulties in Filter Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular dust collectors struggle to achieve effective filter cleaning and regeneration when dealing with cutting fumes. This leads to shorter filter life, frequent replacements, and higher maintenance costs. The PL-Series addresses this issue with its automatic cleaning systems, enabling sustainable operation and significantly extending filter replacement intervals.

3. Fire Risks in Thermal Cutting
Thermal cutting operations, such as plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, generate smoldering hot particles that can pose a serious fire risk if not properly managed. The PL-Series Filter Units are designed with robust safety features to mitigate these risks, ensuring a safer workspace for operators.

Advanced Features of the PL-Series

1. W3 Certification
The Morgan Rushworth PL-Series Filter Units are certified to W3 Dedusting Class, meeting stringent industry standards for air quality and worker safety. This certification highlights the units’ ability to handle hazardous fumes and fine dust particles, particularly those generated during stainless steel cutting applications.

2. Long Filter Life
One of the standout features of the PL-Series is the durability of its filters. With an average lifetime of 20,000 hours, these filters minimise downtime and reduce the frequency of replacements, providing a cost-effective solution for businesses.

3. High-Efficiency Filtration
Thanks to the HEPA 14 filter quality used in VANTERM Panel Filter Technology, the PL-Series achieves 99.997% filtration efficiency, effectively capturing particles as small as 0.12 microns. This level of filtration ensures cleaner air and compliance with even the most stringent workplace safety regulations.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

The PL-Series Filter Units are designed to optimise energy use while delivering outstanding performance. By maintaining efficient airflow and using advanced filter technology, these units reduce energy consumption compared to traditional dust collectors.
