Morton Salt Specifies
Whirl/Wet Dust Collection Morton Salt, Rittman, OH, manufactures water softener pellets, salt flakes, and edible salt.
A division of Rohm and Haas Company, Inc., Morton Salt is America’s leading
producer of salt for household and agricultural use. To capture dusts generated in manufacturing, Morton has repeatedly chosen Whirl Wet technology.
Four Whirl Wet dust collectors serve a block press line, and spice line, and a box, bag and can line. Whirl Wet dust collectors are exceptionally well-suited to the collection of dusts in the 20-micron
and larger range. The dust collectors are also highly corrosion resistant, because they are
manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene on a stainless base. Whirl Wet dust collectors
have no internal moving parts, are self-cleaning and highly energy-efficient. Water use is low:
following the initial charge at the time of installation, only minor water additions are needed to
compensate for evaporation and drag-out. To collect dusts inside the pellet building on a 24/7 basis, Morton in 2004 again specified
Whirl Wet dust collectors, specifically two Model H, 24,000 cfm units with timed drain-downs.
The drain-downs activate a butterfly valve every 8 hours, transferring captured particulate
into a pit, that in turn drains to a sump. Whirl Wet MCD (modular conveyor dragout) models are
also available; these are ideal for the heaviest dust loadings and offer the convenience of
never having to empty the collector or shut-down the unit. All models of the Whirl Wet are 95-99% efficient for particulate over one micron, both soluble
and insoluble. The technology is widely used throughout the food industry for the collection
of dusts from sugar processing, cereal manufacturing, breading and spice blending. It is also
used by manufacturers of cosmetics. Energy generated inside the unit will not allow the system
to clog under any operating conditions, therefore, the agglomeration and sticky residues that are
inherent in some food processing operations are not problematical for the Whirl/Wet. Tri-Mer
also specializes in the odor control for food processing. Whirl Wets, (and for submicron particulate, the CCS Cloud Chamber Scrubber) are also
well-suited to the collection of particulate within pharmaceutical processing and tabletting
environments. IWI Inc., Cleveland, OH, provided system engineering, air make-ups and ducting for all
Whirl Wet systems installed at Morton Salt. The company specializes in air pollution control
systems and material handling. CASE STUDY #1 / #2 / #3
