The Power in Dust Control
Exposure to dust has been associated with a variety of
adverse health conditions, product quality issues and
increased equipment and plant maintenance costs. In
addition, government regulators mandate that poor air
quality must be remediated. Choosing the right dust
collection system provides both environmental and
economic benefits by improving the air in the workplace,
product quality and reducing energy costs.
Modular Design for Specialized Needs
Air Boss®Vertical Cartridge Dust Collectors offer
a broad spectrum of cost-effective solutions for the
most difficult dust, smoke and fume collection
applications. Their modular design allows for an infinite
range of sizes for the largest dust collection tasks.
Air Boss (DC) series includes a full range of units —
from the DC-2 which collects dust at a single
workstation to a DC-128 which controls contaminants
in large manufacturing facilities.
Air Boss helps meet and exceed NIOSH and OSHA
codes for recirculation of plant air, providing 99%
efficiency on submicron particles (.5) with low energy
and operating costs.

From a Leader in Clean Air Technology
Trion, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of
indoor air quality products, designed the world’s first
air cleaner for the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine fleet
in 1947. Since then, Trion has continued to provide
advanced and specialized air cleaning systems for a
wide range of applications in the commercial and
industrial markets.
Air Boss Systems Can Help You:
• Protect employee health
• Boost employee morale
• Comply with government regulations
• Increase product quality
• Enhance company image
• Improve productivity
• Reduce maintenance costs
Cartridge Air Cleaning
Contaminated air is drawn through high-efficiency
cartridge filters, where the particulate is collected on
the outside of the media. Filtered air is pulled through
the system and exhausted. Standard units feature
Venturi reverse pulse cleaning systems to enhance
filter life.

Air Boss Advantages
High-Performance Cartridges.
With a 99% efficiency
rating for submicron (.5) particulate, extra-large
circular filters are vertically oriented for uniform dust
loading and efficient cleaning.
Efficiency.
Many competitors’ products operate
with a high level of re-entrainment, which means
that energy and filter life are wasted by repeatedly
collecting the same dust. Air Boss patented
downflow/vertical design ensures consistent filtration
and efficient dust handling from capture to disposal.
Size Availability.
Air Boss is designed with a full
range of capacities for a vast array of applications.
From the DC-2 with (2) cartridges to DC-128 with
(128) cartridges, every Air Boss has the media
capacity and optimal filtering velocity for every
type of contaminant and process.
Powerful Cleaning.
The patented venturi-assisted
design optimizes reverse jet pulse cleaning and
increases filter life. With four available methods to
initiate the cleaning cycle, every Air Boss collector
is equipped with the control system that best fits
the application.
Improved Fan Operation.
Venturi and innovative
cylindrical fan housing increases performance,
reduces noise, simplifies maintenance and eliminates
the need for a discharge damper.
Easy Maintenance.
Outstanding design features
combine to promote long filter life. Easy access
allows each filter to be changed in several minutes.
Space Economy.
The downflow/vertical design
has a smaller footprint than comparable units with
horizontal filters.
Rock-Solid Construction.
Air Boss is built for
durability and reliability with 11-gauge steel fabrication
and welded seams/joints. Air Boss units are designed
and tested for Seismic Zone 4.
Dust Collection Efficiency:
Problem. The #1 challenge to dust collection efficiency is re-entrainment – dust collected is stirred up and has
to be filtered all over again. The goal is to dislodge the dust and allow it to settle in a hopper below and not
be redeposited on the filters.

How Downflow/Vertical Systems Operate
Contaminated air enters the collector above the filter
cartridges. Specially designed components in the
cabinet uniformly distribute the contaminated air
across the top of the filters. The contaminated air
flows downward without the detrimental velocity
spikes that are common with competitive designs.
Dust is conveyed to the settling area below the filters
by both air movement and gravity. The extremely small
particulate is collected on the filter media, allowing
clean air to return to the workplace. Once particulate
collection is sufficient to reduce airflow, the patented
reverse jet pulse cleaning system is initiated to
propel the collected dust off the filters and into the
settling area.
Downflow
Air Boss’ downflow/vertical design has zero velocity
at the base of each filter stack, allowing dust to
settle uninhibited below the cartridges, thereby
eliminating re-entrainment.
Cartridge Filters
The standard 100% cellulose cartridge media is
high in resin content for mechanical resilience and
has pleat-lock construction. Standard cartridges are
rated for temperatures up to 160° F – high temperature
cartiridges are available.
Dust Settling
The Air Boss design allows larger dust contaminants
to have a clear path to the settling area and finer dust
to be collected by the filters.
Venturi
Venturi Reverse Pulse Cleaning is the quick release of
pressure through a blowtube into a venturi enductor
tube into a cartridge filter. A higher volume of air is
induced via this principle. The resulting burst of compressed air is more equally dispersed across the filter
resulting in greater cleaning effectiveness compared to
standard reverse pulse cleaning.
Pulse Jets
Pulse jet performance and economy are maximized by
optimizing the orifice size and position. There are four
methods of initiating jet pulse cleaning to best fit the
end user’s needs.
Cylindrical Fan Housing
The motor, fan and full-length venturi are packaged
into a tubular centrifugal fan arrangement for
greater performance, quieter operation and
simplified maintenance.
Solution. With Air Boss’ patented downflow/vertical airflow technology, re-entrainment and its effects have been
minimized for maximum efficiency and filter life. Carefully managed inlet velocity ensures that the air only flows
downward, never up or sideways. This prevents air movement below the cartridges, where the dust has settled,
and facilitates effective cleaning, both when the collector is operating and when it is shut down.
