Β Flex-Kleen Dust Collectors

Founded in 1959 Flex-Kleen has over 100,000 dust collectors in service worldwide, many still operating after 40 or more years. The product line covers pulse-jet baghouse collectors, cartridge collectors, bin vents, high-pressure collection, and high-vacuum collection, with systems ranging from 30 CFM to 100,000 CFM.Β 

CECO Environmental Flex-Kleen’s engineering depth covers the most demanding technical challenges in industrial dust collection and applications where standard catalog equipment fails. Corrosive process environments. Sanitary food and pharmaceutical requirements. Combustible dusts requiring NFPA-compliant explosion protection.

Low bulk density materials and high temperature and high vacuum applications. Where other equipment has failed, Flex-Kleen systems are frequently the correct solution. What fits for your Indiana facility? We figure that out for you here at Collectors & Filters.

Flex-Kleen iSeries Cartridge Dust Collector

The iSeries is Flex-Kleen’s current-generation plug-and-play cartridge collector, a heavy-duty construction rated for Kst 400 St-3 combustible dusts with explosion vent panel enclosure built in, NFPA 68 compliant. The horizontal filter layout provides tool-free, ground-level filter access without reaching into vertical housings, a meaningful maintenance safety improvement over conventional cartridge designs.

The iSeries is designed for fast deployment without sacrificing performance or compliance, covering chemicals, metal processing, woodworking, mining, plastics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and electronics applications.

Flex-Kleen Pulse-Jet Baghouse Collectors

For high-volume applications, continuous duty, and process conditions that exceed cartridge collector limits, Flex-Kleen pulse-jet baghouses handle dust loads from small production systems through large-scale industrial operations. Reverse pulse-jet cleaning maintains filter performance without interrupting production.

Filter media options cover standard polyester felt through high-temperature woven fabrics and specialty materials for aggressive chemical environments.Β 

Flex-Kleen Replacement Parts

Flex-Kleen replacement parts are available for all makes and models of filtration equipment, not just Flex-Kleen units. Filters, cages, pleated and cartridge media, diaphragm valves, solenoid valves, timers, gauges, and miscellaneous hardware.

If you have a legacy Flex-Kleen unit, a hard-to-find component for an older system, or need cross-reference parts for equipment from other manufacturers, contact us. We find what other distributors can’t.

Fisher-Klosterman High-Efficiency Cyclone Dust Collectors

Fisher-Klosterman has been designing custom air pollution control and product recovery equipment since 1948. Their XQ Series cyclones are the primary industrial cyclone design in use today developed through extensive research to achieve collection efficiencies high enough to eliminate the need for downstream baghouse filtration in many applications. Fisher-Klosterman’s guaranteed performance is backed by sophisticated modeling when complete operating data is provided, not estimated from generic efficiency curves.

XQ Series High-Efficiency Cyclones

Fisher-Klosterman offers seven models in the XQ Series. All covering efficiency levels from standard industrial separation through ultra-high efficiency for fine particulate and product recovery applications. Units are available from miniature collectors through units large enough to require field assembly.

Dual, quad, and multiple-cyclone arrangements address height restrictions or increase collection efficiency. Common inlet manifolds, outlet manifolds, and hoppers simplify ductwork connections for multi-cyclone installations.

Construction options include carbon steel, stainless steel, and any required alloy. Fisher-Klosterman cyclone designs exceed NFPA explosion containment and venting standards. Severe service applications include high temperature, high pressure, erosive particulate, corrosive gases, are Fisher-Klosterman’s core competency, not edge cases.

Why One Distributor for the Complete CECO Environmental Portfolio Matters

Standard industrial distributors carry one product typeΒ  baghouses, or cyclones, or scrubbers and recommend what they sell regardless of whether it is the correct technology for the application. We carry the complete CECO Environmental portfolio, which means we recommend the correct technology for your specific application without being constrained to a single product line.

A plastics compounder with combustible polymer dust gets a Flex-Kleen iSeries with Kst 400 explosion protection. A foundry with high-temperature abrasive dust gets a Fisher-Klosterman XQ Series cyclone in alloy steel. A large-scale industrial operation with a heavy dust load gets a Fisher-Klosterman cyclone as primary separator feeding a Flex-Kleen baghouse.

We match the technology to the application, not the application to the technology we happen to stock.

KB Duct β€” Modular Industrial Ducting

Kirk & Blum, which has been fabricating industrial sheet metal since 1907. Today KB Duct is one of the most complete modular industrial ducting lines available, offering three distinct system types to match any application:

  • Clamp-Together Duct β€” Available from 3″ to 24″ diameter in 22-gauge to 10-gauge steel depending on diameter. Applicable to virtually every dust collection system including wood, paper, chemical, fume, oil mist, and abrasive applications.
  • The standard n-butyl rubber gasket covers 95% of applications; FDA silicone is available for food and high-temperature service; Viton and ePTFE gasket materials handle the aggressive chemical applications where standard rubbers would fail. Note: clamp-together should not be used for heavy concentrations of liquid or for positive-pressure dust conveyance, those applications use flanged duct.
  • Welded Flanged Duct β€” Available in lengths up to 20 feet, material up to 1/4″ thick, seam-welded on 16-gauge and heavier material and on diameters 25″ and above. The heavy industrial end of the ducting spectrum foundries, cement plants, sand and coal conveying, and other severe abrasive applications.

The KB Duct Series 1000 Clamp is their proprietary joining hardware, galvanized steel with an extra-large handle designed for true one-handed operation, built to be opened, repositioned, and re-clamped repeatedly without losing holding force.Β

Common Questions About CECO Equipment & KB Duct

The Flex-Kleen iSeries is designed for a wide range of industrial applications including chemicals, metal processing, woodworking, mining and minerals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and electronics. It is rated for Kst 400 St-3 combustible dusts with a built-in NFPA 68 compliant explosion vent panel enclosure, making it one of the few plug-and-play cartridge collectors that addresses combustible dust applications without requiring separate explosion protection to be added. The horizontal filter layout allows ground-level, tool-free filter access. A significant maintenance safety advantage over conventional vertical cartridge designs. For Indiana manufacturers needing a fast-deployment solution that doesn't compromise on compliance or performance.
A Fisher-Klosterman XQ Series cyclone is the correct primary separator when filter media would fail rapidly due to high dust loading, when abrasive particulate would destroy bag or cartridge media, when process temperatures exceed filter media ratings, or when product recovery without media contamination is required. Cyclones use centrifugal force rather than filter media to separate particulate. There are no bags or cartridges to blind, replace, or contaminate the collected material. In heavy-duty applications, the most effective system design is often a Fisher-Klosterman cyclone as the primary separator feeding a Flex-Kleen baghouse as secondary filtration, extending filter life significantly by removing the bulk of the dust load before it reaches the media.
KB Duct clamp-together ductwork is available with four gasket materials matched to application requirements. Standard n-butyl rubber covers approximately 95% of industrial dust collection applications including wood, paper, chemical fume, oil mist, and general abrasive dust. FDA silicone is specified for food processing and high-temperature service where n-butyl rubber is not appropriate. Viton gaskets handle aggressive chemical environments like solvents, fuels, and many chemical process streams where standard rubber would swell or degrade. PTFE (ePTFE) gaskets are specified for the most chemically aggressive applications. Specifying the wrong gasket material in a chemical or high-temperature application will result in premature joint failure. Contact us with your specific process conditions and we will confirm the correct gasket specification.
KB Duct clamp-together is the correct choice for the majority of dust collection ductwork installations, diameters from 3 to 24 inches, negative-pressure systems, and applications involving wood, paper, chemical fume, oil mist, and most abrasive dusts. The clamp-together system installs significantly faster than flanged duct and allows repositioning and reconfiguration without cutting or welding. Flanged duct is specified when the application involves positive-pressure dust conveyance, diameters above 24 inches, or when the heavier duty construction of flanged duct is required for the process conditions. Welded flanged duct is the correct specification for the most severe applications: foundries, cement plants, sand and coal conveyance, and other high-abrasion service where standard gauge clamp-together would wear through prematurely. If you are unsure which system is correct for your application, contact us at Collectors & Filters for the right specification.
