Benefits
■ Designed to withstand challenging conditions
■ Low particulate emissions
■ Reliable, low-maintenance operation
■ Long life
We have been designing and delivering ESPs to capture dust from smelters, converters and
roasters in these industries for more than 75 years. Our proven technology delivers long-term,
trouble-free operation and enables you to keep particulate emissions low.
