Air cleaners for grain dust removal

Enhance safety and operational efficiency by effectively removing dust and light particles from grains and food products, ensuring cleaner production lines and reducing the risk of dust-related hazards.

Removes Dust and Light Particles Efficiently

The ASU and ASA Air Cleaners from Bühler Group are engineered to tackle dust and particle removal across grain and food processing facilities. Utilizing either a recirculation or exhaust air system, these units efficiently separate dust and light particles, enhancing safety by minimizing explosion risk and preventing filter clogging. Ideal for applications spanning corn, rice, wheat, and animal feed processing, they offer precise cleaning that adapts to various materials. With a compact footprint and vibrating distribution flap, they ensure high throughput in continuous operations. Optional wear protection allows for handling abrasive materials around the clock, while discharge screws facilitate easy sampling and maintenance. Designed for seamless integration, these air cleaners are an essential component for enhancing plant safety and product quality.
