Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When to replace the Cart-D Premium Plus?
The MultiDustBank filter control system continuously monitors the differential pressure across the filter cartridge. When the filter reaches its end of life, the system triggers an alarm indicating replacement is required. For preventive maintenance planning, Plymovent recommends using the ControlPro Connect IIoT platform, which enables online monitoring of filter performance and timely maintenance scheduling.
What is the lifespan of the Cart-D premium plus?
The Cart-D Premium Plus offers excellent mechanical strength thanks to its use of bi-component polyester fibres. This design allows for intense and frequent cleaning through compressed air back-pulsing, meaning its lifespan is rarely limited by mechanical wear. Instead, the stickiness of the application determines the service life. Dry, non-sticky applications, such as dry welding fume, can achieve lifespans of over 8,000 hours of operation, and even longer in some cases. Sticky applications, such as oily welding fumes, can significantly reduce lifespan. If the service life drops below 2,000 hours due to excessive oil, Plymovent recommends using the OilShield. This system doses small quantities of limestone to absorb oil and extend filter life.
Can the Cart-D premium plus be used for other applications than welding and grinding and cutting?
Yes, the Cart-D premium plus in combination with the MultiDustBank is suitable for most non-explosive airborne dust applications with dust class L, M.
