Horizontal Cartridge Arrangement
Horizontal cartridges provide side access for maintenance. Pulse cleaning and filter-media selection should be matched to the dust characteristics and loading.
EHCDP modular downflow dust collectors with horizontal side-insertion cartridges, automatic pulse-jet cleaning and 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-level module configurations.
EHCDP combines horizontal side-insertion cartridges with bolted collector modules. Choose a 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-level configuration, then combine compatible modules to suit the required filter area and installation space.
Horizontally mounted cartridges are accessed from the service side. Allow sufficient side clearance for cartridge removal and routine maintenance.
Standard collector modules can operate individually or be combined to increase filtration area and airflow capacity for larger systems.
Dust-laden air passes through the horizontal cartridge section, where dust is captured on the outer filter surfaces. Cleaned air exits through the clean-air side. Reverse pulse cleaning releases the dust cake so it can fall into the dust collection section.
Horizontal cartridges provide side access for maintenance. Pulse cleaning and filter-media selection should be matched to the dust characteristics and loading.
Both arrangements use two cartridges installed in series on the same support frame. The visible difference is how sealing pressure is achieved — and that difference is closely related to dimensional control, cartridge alignment, cover-plate fit and consistent gasket compression.
Two cartridges are installed in series on the same support frame. The cover plate, gasket, center rod and external three-lobe handle are all present, while an additional internal center nut is also used to provide cartridge clamping. During cartridge replacement, this internal nut must be removed and re-tightened before the cover is secured again.
Two open/open cartridges are installed in series on the same support frame. Precise cartridge positioning, support-frame alignment and controlled gasket compression allow the cover plate to provide the required sealing pressure without an internal center nut. The center rod remains in place for the external three-lobe handle that locks the cover plate, while routine cartridge replacement avoids the extra internal nut-removal and re-tightening operation.
A segmented front appearance does not always mean a true modular cartridge dust collector. The real difference is at the connection interface: whether each section is fabricated as an independent structural module and then mechanically joined to the next module.
A very large continuous enclosure requires more welding across a longer structure. As weld length and heat input increase, shrinkage and dimensional drift can accumulate across the cabinet, making final alignment more difficult to control.
7US divides a large collector into repeatable structural modules. Each module is welded in dedicated fixtures, checked as an individual unit, and only then sealed and bolted to adjoining modules. This keeps welding distortion localized and helps reduce cumulative dimensional error across a large collector.


These layouts can create a modular-looking front face while the main enclosure remains largely continuous. A divider, reinforcement strip or repeated cartridge pattern does not by itself prove that two independently fabricated modules have been structurally joined.



Each 7US module is fabricated as an independent structural unit with its own side plate. Before adjacent modules are bolted together, industrial structural sealant is applied continuously between the mating surfaces to create an air-tight interface. Bolts and nuts then provide the mechanical clamping force, forming a genuine sealed module-to-module structural joint.
A complete manufacturing process matters, but the details that affect fit, sealing and repeatability are easier to judge from real production evidence. The photographs below show how 7US controls fabrication, positioning, assembly and module fit-up in actual production.
Instead of relying only on specification text, these details show the actual fixtures, measurements, components and assembled modules used in production.











7US inlet and outlet connections can be supplied with removable flange template plates. The template reproduces the actual collector opening size and bolt-hole pattern, so the duct fabricator can use the removed plate directly as the reference for the mating duct flange. This avoids repeated site measurement, redrawing and bolt-hole guesswork.











The goal of this section is not to claim quality with adjectives. It is to show the fixtures, measurements, construction details, trial assembly and finished installation so experienced buyers can judge the manufacturing standard for themselves.
Full process capability: laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, surface preparation and powder coating remain part of the complete process — but the details above are where manufacturing discipline becomes visible.
EHCDP modules are available with 2, 3, 4 or 5 filter levels. Select the filter media and required filtration area, then choose the module arrangement to fit the available height, width and maintenance access.
Because paper / cellulose media can be pleated more densely within the same outside cartridge size, a larger effective filter area can be achieved in the same volume. The denser pleat arrangement, however, also increases airflow resistance, so the recommended design filtration velocity is lower than for polyester media. This configuration is well suited to welding fumes and similar fine-fume duties.
Wider pleat spacing is better suited to grinding dust and higher particulate loading, where dense pleats can make pulse-cleaning and dust shedding more difficult.
The model code identifies the filter levels and total cartridge quantity. Final airflow is confirmed from filter media, total effective filter area and the design filtration velocity for the actual dust — not from cartridge quantity alone.

A model number describes the module geometry. The acceptable airflow depends on dust loading, filter media and the design filtration velocity selected for the application.
Cartridges with the same outside dimensions can have different effective filtration areas because the pleat construction is different.
One 3-level base module can be repeated horizontally. The same modular principle also applies to compatible 2-, 4- and 5-level families.
The downflow cartridge dust collector body can be configured around the actual dust load, discharge method, electrical standard, safety requirements and final filtration target. The options below can be selected individually or combined as part of a project-specific system configuration.
Select the basic media first, then add surface or safety functions according to the dust.
The collector body can be manufactured in different materials and structural specifications to suit corrosion conditions, process requirements and customer standards.
7US can integrate primary cartridge filtration and secondary HEPA filtration into one modular collector body. The cartridge section and HEPA section are arranged vertically within the same structural module, creating a compact two-stage filtration unit rather than two separate machines connected by ductwork.
Industrial cartridge dust collectors can be configured for a wide range of dry-dust and fume applications. Application suitability is determined by the actual dust characteristics, loading, filtration media, airflow and safety requirements — not by equipment appearance alone.
EHCDP modular collectors can be engineered for different process conditions after the dust source and operating requirements are confirmed.
Large collectors are prepared as modular equipment for inspection, transport and practical field assembly. Site installation is normally completed by the customer or local contractor with drawings and technical guidance from 7US.
Front and rear views of the EHCDP horizontal-cartridge modular collector show the service side and rear-side structure of the same equipment.
The collector body can be supplied separately, or configured with a fan and controls for the confirmed airflow, system pressure and power supply.
Material, coating color, discharge arrangement and HEPA options can be selected for the project. See the system options above for available configurations.
Detailed GA / DWG project drawings can be prepared after the configuration, interfaces and order requirements are confirmed. Site assembly is carried out by the customer or local contractor with drawings and remote technical guidance from 7US.
