The PWA‑95‑10 anti‑static dust collector filter cartridge is a high‑performance filtration element engineered for industrial dust collection systems handling ignition‑sensitive, explosive, or combustible particulates. With a filtration area of 10 m² (108 ft²) , this cartridge is manufactured to your exact specifications, providing reliable contamination control for FilterMax units and compatible dust collection systems where static electricity poses a significant fire or explosion hazard.
Industrial dust collection systems processing materials such as metal fines, wood dust, coal dust, grain dust, chemical powders, and other combustible particulates are subject to the hidden hazard of static electricity. As dust particles rub against the filter media at high velocity, electrostatic charges accumulate. Without proper dissipation, these charges can discharge as sparks—with sufficient energy to ignite a combustible dust cloud, causing a catastrophic explosion.

Applications
|
|---|---|
|
Chemical Processing
|
Organic dust, pigment dust, resin dust, carbon black, sulfur—high-risk explosive environments where static discharge could trigger combustion
|
|
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
|
Active pharmaceutical ingredients , excipient powders, tablet pressing—requires ATEX-compliant filtration and zero static risk
|
|
Metalworking (Combustible Metals)
|
Aluminum dust, magnesium, titanium, fine metal powders from grinding, polishing, and sanding—extremely high explosion risk requiring mandatory anti-static filters
|
|
Woodworking (Fine Wood Flour)
|
Sanding dust, MDF processing, fine wood flour—static buildup common and ignition risk significant
|
|
Food Processing (Combustible Powders)
|
Flour dust, sugar dust, grain dust, starch, cocoa powder—powders can form explosive clouds; anti-static essential
|
|
Battery & EV Materials
|
Lithium battery material handling, graphite dust, carbon materials—conductive dusts require special static control
|
2. Conductive Coating: A specialized carbon-based coating is applied to the surface of the polyester fabric, providing a continuous conductive path across the media surface.
The Grounding Path: When properly installed with groundable metal end caps connected to the housing earth point, any static charge generated by dust friction is safely dissipated to ground, preventing spark formation that could ignite combustible dust clouds .
Why This Matters: In combustible dust environments, static electricity is a hidden but deadly hazard. Fine powders moving through ducts and across filter surfaces generate significant static charges. Without proper dissipation, these charges can accumulate and discharge as sparks—with enough energy to ignite a dust cloud, causing a catastrophic explosion. Anti-static filters eliminate this risk by providing a continuous conductive path to ground.
