Main applications for compact jet-pulse air intake units are air intake systems for diesel & gas engines. These self-cleaning filters can also be used for other rotating machines such as large blowers or compressors. On very polluted sites like rock processing plants, mines or cement plants, compact jet-pulse can also be used on ventilation systems to protect operators in control rooms or to protect sensitive components in electrical rooms for instance. Residual dust removed from the airflow can be either continuously extracted with secondary dust extraction fan or it can be simply stored in dust drawers located on the bottom of dust hoppers underneath the filter elements.

Compact jet-pulse air intake unit offers many advantages :

  • Low maintenance
  • Perfect adaptability for sandstorm
  • Stainless steel or carbon steel painted construction
  • Airflow range from 6 000 to 100 000 m3/h
  • Sturdy construction
  • Suitable even for the smallest airflows
  • Filter efficiency available from M6 up to F9
  • Cartridges life time from 1 up to 3 years

Inertial separators have been specially designed for areas with a high dust concentration. SAI inertial separators with secondary extraction give excellent results in sandstorm areas. These sand filters can be used alone or as pre-filtration stage in order to reduce the maintenance costs of more efficient filters located downstream. SAI is offering inertial separators on power plants to provide superior protection against foreign particles entering genset enclosures, generation halls, modular power stations and compressor enclosures in extreme environments. For mining projects, customers are looking for cost savings solutions and our self-cleaning systems are one of the best solutions to equip remote mining sites. Thanks to their self-cleaning feature, our inertial separators with dust extraction minimize needs for maintenance and down time.

Inertial separators can be equipped with the following options:

  • Stainless steel, corten® or painted carbon steel construction
  • Transition piece and fan blower 
  • Weather hoods
  • Silencer
  • Casing with maintenance plenum
  • Anti-bird or anti-insect grid
  • Motorized dampers
  • Additional multi-stage filtration
