Advanced Industrial Dust Collection Systems for Comprehensive Particulate Control

Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc. provides high-performance Dust Collectors engineered to deliver reliable, energy-efficient particulate control across diverse industrial applications. From fine fumes to heavy dust loads, our systems are designed to improve workplace air quality, reduce emissions, and ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local environmental standards.

Ship & Shore adopts a “Source Capture + High-Efficiency Filtration + Intelligent Control” three-tier architecture to provide complete particulate management throughout the production process. This integrated approach ensures measurable performance, energy optimization, and long-term reliability.

Three-Tier Dust Collection Architecture

1. Source Capture (Close Capture LEV)

Effective dust control begins at the source. Ship & Shore designs custom local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems with optimized hood geometry and enclosure design for near-field capture.

  • Capture velocities engineered between 0.5–2.5 m/s, depending on process

  • Minimizes dust escape and shop floor dispersion

  • Reduces overall ventilation demand and energy consumption

  • Improves indoor air quality and regulatory compliance

By capturing particulates before they disperse, we significantly reduce system load and operational costs.

2. High-Efficiency Filtration

Ship & Shore dust collectors can be configured with multiple filtration technologies depending on dust characteristics and industry requirements. Our pleated media designs increase filtration area by 3–5× per unit volume, enabling higher airflow handling in a compact footprint.

Available Filtration Options:

  • Cartridge Collectors – Ideal for fine dust and fumes (≥99.9% efficiency @ 0.5–1 μm)

  • Baghouse Systems – Designed for high dust loads or high-temperature gas streams (≥99% efficiency)

  • HEPA Terminal Filters – For pharmaceutical and electronics environments (≥99.97% @ 0.3 μm)

Systems are engineered to achieve emission concentrations as low as ≤5–10 mg/m³, customizable to meet local regulatory standards.

3. Intelligent Pulse Cleaning & Control

Ship & Shore integrates advanced control systems to maximize filter life and operational efficiency.

  • Pulse jet cleaning with differential pressure sensors

  • On-demand cleaning extends filter life by 30–50%

  • PLC and touchscreen centralized control systems

  • Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance capability

This intelligent control approach ensures measurable performance while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Engineered Performance & Measurable Results

Every Ship & Shore dust collection system is backed by detailed engineering analysis, including airflow modeling and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. Key system design parameters include:

  • Design airflow: 1,000–100,000+ CFM (fully scalable)

  • Optimized system resistance for 15–25% fan energy reduction

  • Noise control: ≤80 dB(A)

  • Filter life expectancy: 12–36 months (application dependent)

  • Dust concentration range: from light smoke to heavy industrial loads

Our performance-driven approach ensures predictable airflow, stable filtration efficiency, and reduced operating costs.

Combustible Dust & Explosion Safety

For facilities handling combustible dust — including metal powders, flour, wood chips, plastics, and chemical particulates — Ship & Shore integrates multiple safety protections to ensure compliance and risk mitigation.

Safety features may include:

  • Explosion venting panels

  • Isolation valves and spark arrestors

  • Grounding and anti-static system design

  • Online spark and temperature monitoring

  • Optional automatic fire suppression or explosion mitigation modules

These integrated safeguards support OSHA compliance and protect both personnel and facility infrastructure.
