ALWO Q Local Dust Collector with Filter Bags

The ALWO Q local dust collector with filter bags is a compact unit with an integrated fan, designed to capture compatible dry dust generated by industrial machinery and machining processes. It can be connected directly to the machine extraction point using rigid or flexible ductwork.

Increased filter area

Compared with the standard ALWO local unit, the Q model uses multi-sleeve filter bags, each divided into four individual sleeves. The larger filter area can reduce the specific loading on the filter media and support steadier operation when the unit is correctly sized for the required airflow and the dust handled.

Operating principle

1. The integrated fan generates the negative pressure required at the capture point.
2. Dust-laden air is conveyed through the ductwork to the collector.
3. The filter bags retain the dust while filtered air passes through the textile media.
4. Separated dust is collected in the lower bags, which must be emptied as part of the maintenance schedule.

Selection and use

The configuration must be selected according to the required airflow, dust properties and concentration, duty cycle, and pressure losses in the duct system. Correct source connection and periodic maintenance of the filter bags directly affect system performance.

• local capture close to the emission source;
• integrated fan and compact installation;
• multi-sleeve filter bags providing an increased filter area;
• dust collection in accessible lower bags.

Safety note: the unit must be selected for compatible dry dust. Combustible or toxic dust, and any return of filtered air to the workplace, require a dedicated risk assessment and an application-specific technical solution.
