GM-Delphi: Whirl / Wet Combines
High Efficiency Wet Dust Collection with
Low Maintenance and Operating Costs

Tri-Mer® dust collection technology is usedby GM-Delphi. Four units were selected as
replacements for dry collectors. Each unit serves four grinding (or shot blasting) stations.
Capacities range from 425 to 52,500 cubic ft./minute.

The units will accommodate very heavy loadings under continuous use, and allow regular
maintenance without interrupting production. Equally important, the Whirl/Wets eliminate concerns
about sparks from hot metal fines – a major maintenance dilemma.

In this application, the Whirl/Wet are 99%+ efficient in capturing fines ten microns and larger.
Operational advantages of the units include quiet operation, very low water use, and a design
free of internal moving parts. This latter point was regarded as beneficial because conventional
collectors incorporate spray nozzles, pumps, and disposable bags, all of which increase the
time and cost of maintenance.

The Whirl/Wets manufactured for GM-Delphi are PLC-controlled for highest reliability,
and continuous monitoring of pressure, flow and water levels.
