Florida Tile Uses
Whirl Wet Dust Collection

Florida Tile experienced high maintenance, and unplanned shut-downs due to dry scrubbers
(bag house) on a glazing operation. The high weight and moisture of the glaze made it difficult to
contain the overspray and caused frequent production stoppages. Maintenance was costly,
involving both the bag house and ventilation hoods.

Florida Tile changed from dry dust collection to wet dust collection, and first installed two
polypropylene Whirl Wet dust collectors. Three additional Whirl Wet dust collectors were
installed subsequently to replace the remaining bag houses.

Whirl Wet dust collectors are self-cleaning and will not clog, or stop production. Captured
material is reclaimed from scrubbers and hoods at close to 100% efficiency. The system is
virtually a closed loop: incoming water is used, then recycled, leaving as sanitary sewage or
steam. Water use and energy use, are both low.

Whirl Wet dust collectors are widely used by manufacturers of tile, stone and brick, for the
collection of particulate and dusts, and for the collection of overspray in glazing operations.
