Dust Collection
Configure dust collection from extraction airflow to collector and fan
Branch flows, air-to-cloth, duct velocity and fan duty belong on one validated system — not a late balancing spreadsheet.
Mercura does not certify NFPA/ATEX compliance. It runs your manufacturer airflow, collector and safety-option rules during selling.
From extraction airflow to collector and fan
This is a live Mercura CPQ configurator — not a mock-up. Sum branch flows, pick dust class, then resolve collector capacity, duct velocity, fan duty and hazard packages under manufacturer-defined rules on one quote. Not NFPA/ATEX certification.
Running against a live Mercura tenant. Collectors, fans, and prices shown here are an illustrative "Dust Collection Example" catalogue built to demonstrate the platform — your own airflow tables, duct rules, and safety options would drive a production deployment.
Configuration chain
From extraction points to a valid system
Airflow and dust class constrain collector, duct and fan.
- 01
Extraction points
Machine branch flows sum to system airflow.
- 02
Dust profile
Illustrative class — manufacturer hazard flags only.
- 03
Collector
Air-to-cloth vs duty.
- 04
Duct network
Velocity / settling risk indicators.
- 05
Pressure drop
System ΔP to fan selection.
- 06
Safety options
Hazard review packages when encoded.
- 07
Quote
Valid system BOM.
Why quoting gets hard
Why dust system quotes come back
Undersized collector
Air-to-cloth outside preferred range.
Settling risk
Duct diameter drops transport velocity.
Fan shortfall
System pressure exceeds selected fan.
Before / after
The same technical sale, a different commercial path
Before
- Machine list in a spreadsheet
- Collector sized by habit
- Duct velocities checked later
- Fan swapped after balancing
- Hazard notes after review
With Mercura CPQ
- Extraction points entered first
- Collector range enforced
- Duct velocity risks visible
- Fan matches system ΔP
- Hazard gates shown when flagged
