One of the most unfavorable operations in terms of dust affect in foundries of both conveyor type and serial and individual production is the knocking out of flasks. In these areas, the highest overall incidence among workers in the foundry is observed. To remove gases and dust from knock-out gratings, mechanical exhausts are installed, the dust-saturated air from which requires further dust cleaning before being released into the atmosphere. Cyclones are the most widely used in dust cleaning systems of such industries, but the choice of dust collectors is a nontrivial task and requires a systematic approach. This article discusses the method of selection and calculation of dust-cleaning equipment on the example of foundry dust based on the hierarchy analysis method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
