Horizontal Cartridge Arrangement
Horizontal: the level upper surface provides more area where released dust can settle again after pulse cleaning.
Modular downflow dust collectors available with inclined or horizontal cartridge arrangements, pulse-jet cleaning and flexible module combinations for industrial airflow requirements.
7US downflow cartridge dust collectors are available with horizontal or inclined cartridge arrangements. The inclined cartridge configuration is designed to reduce shelf-like dust accumulation on the filter surface and support more effective dust shedding during pulse-jet cleaning.
A simple and economical side-access layout with horizontally mounted cartridges. Manufacturing is straightforward, although dust is more likely to remain on the upper cartridge surface.
The inclined layout reduces the horizontal surface where dust can accumulate, helping released dust move away from the cartridges more effectively during pulse cleaning.
Standard collector modules can operate individually or be combined to increase filtration area and airflow capacity for larger systems.
Compact all-in-one units combine the dust collector, fan and control components into a coordinated package for simpler installation and smaller airflow duties.
Horizontal and inclined downflow cartridge dust collector configurations use the same basic filtration and pulse-jet cleaning principle. The main difference is cartridge orientation: once the dust cake is released, the inclined arrangement provides less shelf-like surface for dust to remain on the cartridges.
Horizontal: the level upper surface provides more area where released dust can settle again after pulse cleaning.
Inclined: the angled cartridge surface helps released dust move away more naturally, allowing gravity and downflow to carry it toward the dust collection section.
Dust-laden air enters the collector and flows through the cartridge section. Dust is retained on the outer cartridge surface, while cleaned air passes through the filter media and exits through the clean-air side of the collector.
A short pulse of compressed air is injected from the clean-air side into the cartridges. This reverse pulse releases the dust cake from the outer filter surface so it can fall toward the dust collection drum.
Once the dust cake is released, an inclined cartridge gives the particles less horizontal area to rest on. Gravity and downward airflow can therefore help the released dust leave the filter zone more easily.
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.
EHCDT selection is not simply “airflow equals one fixed model.” Start with the dust and filtration condition, then select the base module that best fits the available height, width and depth before building the complete system.
Filter-media characteristics together with pleat quantity, pleat depth and pleat arrangement determine the effective filter area of each cartridge, while the selected design filtration velocity determines the total filter area required for the target airflow.
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.
For an EHCDT4-32 fitted with 32 cartridges, airflow should be evaluated from both total effective filter area and the recommended design filtration velocity. With polyester media, using approximately 10 m² per cartridge gives about 320 m² total filter area. At the recommended upper design velocity of 1.1 m/min, the calculated airflow is about 21,120 m³/h; around 20,000 m³/h is a practical preliminary selection example. With paper / cellulose media, using approximately 20 m² per cartridge gives about 640 m² total filter area. At the recommended upper design velocity of 0.8 m/min, the calculated airflow is about 30,720 m³/h; around 30,000 m³/h is a practical preliminary selection example. A larger filter area therefore does not mean that airflow can increase in the same proportion, because the allowable design filtration velocity is different for the two media types.
The model code describes the basic geometry, while height, width and depth can be adjusted to fit the real installation space.
The same family can use one cartridge or two cartridges in series on each support frame.
One complete 4-level module provides all 24 cartridges in the most compact horizontal arrangement.
Two EHCDT3-12 modules provide the same 24 cartridges when 4 levels are too high.
Three EHCDT2-8 modules spread the same 24 cartridges horizontally where height is even more restricted.
Choose a standard base module, then combine identical or compatible modules to build the complete collector.

EHCDP uses the same modular collector concept and the same basic filtration / pulse-cleaning logic shown above, but the filter cartridges are installed horizontally instead of at an inclined angle. The horizontal family also extends to a 5-level configuration, providing another way to increase cartridge quantity where the available installation height allows it.
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.
| Model | Filter Levels | Cartridges | Cartridge Size | Paper / Cellulose Area* | Polyester Area* | Arrangement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EHCDP2-4 | 2 | 4 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 80 m² | ≈ 40 m² | Compact-width module |
| EHCDP2-8 | 2 | 8 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 160 m² | ≈ 80 m² | Standard-width module |
| EHCDP3-6 | 3 | 6 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 120 m² | ≈ 60 m² | Compact-width module |
| EHCDP3-12 | 3 | 12 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 240 m² | ≈ 120 m² | Standard-width module |
| EHCDP3-18 | 3 | 18 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 360 m² | ≈ 180 m² | Extended-width module |
| EHCDP4-16 | 4 | 16 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 320 m² | ≈ 160 m² | Standard-width module |
| EHCDP4-24 | 4 | 24 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 480 m² | ≈ 240 m² | Extended-width module |
| EHCDP5-20 5 Level | 5 | 20 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 400 m² | ≈ 200 m² | Standard-width / taller module |
| EHCDP5-30 5 Level | 5 | 30 | Ø352 × 660 mm | ≈ 600 m² | ≈ 300 m² | Extended-width / taller module |
This keeps EHCDP selection consistent with the engineering logic used for EHCDT. A model number describes the module geometry; the acceptable airflow still depends on dust loading, filter media and the 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.
EHCDT and 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.
These examples show how the same modular collector platform can be adapted through structural reinforcement, material selection, fan integration, inlet protection and hopper configuration to suit different project requirements.
Most project details can be finalized after the required airflow, dust conditions, installation space and system scope are confirmed. The questions below cover the items most commonly discussed before quotation and drawing approval.
Both series use the same modular filtration and pulse-cleaning concept. EHCDT uses inclined cartridges to support more effective dust shedding, while EHCDP uses horizontal side-insertion cartridges and is available in 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-level configurations. Final selection depends on the dust, available height / width, maintenance access and preferred module arrangement.
Yes. The collector body can be supplied separately, or 7US can configure the fan and control package after the required airflow, system pressure, voltage and frequency are confirmed.
Yes. Q235 carbon steel, SS304 and SS316L are available. Coating color can be specified by the customer, and plate thickness, reinforcement and structural strengthening can be customized for special service conditions.
Typical drawings can be used during product selection. Detailed GA / DWG project drawings can be prepared after the final configuration, interfaces and order requirements are confirmed.
Yes. 7US can integrate primary cartridge filtration and secondary HEPA filtration vertically within the same modular collector body, instead of using a separate HEPA machine connected by ductwork. HEPA area, pressure drop and fan selection are engineered together with the primary cartridge stage.
Available options include explosion vent panels, flameless explosion venting devices, explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof electrical cabinets and spark-arresting components. Final compliance scope and component certification should be confirmed for the actual application and destination market.
