With the mounting pollution and consequent concern for environment protection, Power Master dust collectors are the requirements of today for pollution control in industrial machinery. Manufactured by Prem Brothers, a CE certified organisation, known for its grinding and polishing machines since 1959, these dust collectors are specially designed for collection of dry ferrous dust, generated during grinding process.

While grinding on any type of grinding machine (say a bench grinder) some metal (or material from the grinding wheel) is removed from the job in the shape of fine dust. This dust is an environmental problem or a health problem for the operator, and should, therefore, be entrapped at the source itself, before it spreads or becomes air-borne. Power Master manufactures a wide range of Dust Collector systems, which enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities. 

Their features such as low noise, low power consumption, and high filtering efficiency make them convenient for use. These dust collectors use fabric filters. Commonly known as baghouses, fabric collectors use filtration to separate dust particulates from dusty gases. They are efficient and cost effective and can achieve high collection efficiency for very fine particulates. Dust-laden gases enter the baghouse and pass through fabric bags that act as filters. Cotton filtering sleeves provide security against inflammation. In addition, a suction inlet mounted on adjustable arm and water dust separator for aluminium dust, is available as optional accessory. Power Master dust collectors provide a suction capacity of 1, 2, 3, 5 HP as required and are designed to run on 3-phase, with CFM ranging from 190 to 2500. Each dust collector is provided with a manual shaker mechanism. On-off starter is available on request.

The following table gives details of some of the standard dust collector models:

See table below

To reduce pollution in their own manufacturing facility, Prem Brothers have installed five dust collectors for various applications on their machines such as surface grinding machine, tool grinders, lathe machine for cast iron components, milling machine, etc. 

Pollution control is not an option but a necessity. With the shortage of labour, there are a large number of options available to work in non-polluting units. It is in our interest to add pollution control devices such as dust collectors at the source of generation, to capture the hazardous fine dust particles, which pollute the environment, endangering the health of workers in the long run.

In addition to separate dust collectors, Power Master also manufactures bench grinders, belt grinders (both single head and double head) and polishing machines with built-in dust collectors, and was the first to do so in India. These machines are specially designed for the purpose of controlling dust, and are mounted on a steel body with an in-built dust collector, making the machine compact and user friendly. 

Dust collectors with multiple inlets are also available which can be connected with more than one polishing/grinding machine.

Power Master also offers parts and accessories of dust collectors. Buff guards are available as per customer job requirement, with centre height 24", 36", or as required. Dust guards are also available for both single ended and double-ended belt-grinding machines, or as required. These products are manufactured in compliance with set industrial standards and are thus consistent and reliable for a wide range of applications and industries.
