BELFAB
BEL Stand-Alone / Enclosureless Dust Collector Series
Belfab BEL is a configurable stand-alone dust-collector family for wood dust, with Standard and XL filter heights, BEL 50 / 75 / 100 / 150 / 200 model roots, Beane Seamless Tube filters, self-cleaning filtration with an optional automatic shaker, multiple dust-disposal choices, and separately selected Standard or Hummer blowers from 2,500 to 5,000 CFM.

Two height families
Standard-height BEL uses 109 in. published height; XL uses 130 in.
Blower rows stay separate
BEL model roots identify the collector. Standard and Hummer blowers are separate configured components.
Installation remains engineered
Collector placement, dust-hazard controls and final system acceptance depend on the application, applicable codes and the authority having jurisdiction.

Start with the shop
Choose filter height and surface area first, then match the blower and dust-disposal route.
The BEL family is configurable. Collector model root, Standard/XL height, blower and disposal method are separate choices.
Collector family
XL height
XL configurations use longer Ø8 × 66 in. Beane Seamless Tube filters and a 130 in. collector height.
Blower
Blower selection
Standard blower rows cover 5 and 7.5 HP; Hummer rows cover 10, 15 and 20 HP.
Disposal
Disposal selection
Disposable bags, steel drums, tilt trucks and a 360-gallon dump-bin route are available disposal choices.
Application fit
Wood-dust collection with a configurable stand-alone filter bank.
BEL is intended for wood-dust applications where collector height, filter area, blower performance, noise and disposal strategy must be matched to the process.
Application
Woodworking dust
Configure BEL around the dust-producing machines and collection points in the woodworking process.
Capacity
Scalable filtration
Standard and XL configurations provide published filtration surfaces from 150 to 641 sq. ft.
Noise
Lower-speed Hummer route
Hummer blower rows operate at 1800 RPM with row-specific published sound values from 80 to 83 dBA.
Option
Automatic shaker
An automatic shaker is available as an optional filter-cleaning package.
Placement
Enclosureless layout
Plan collector placement, service access and discharge around the complete dust-collection system and site requirements.
Integration
System review
Airflow, resistance, duct routing, disposal clearance and applicable safety requirements are resolved as one system.
Select BEL from the process backwards
Process → airflow basis → resistance basis → collector height/filter area → blower → disposal.
Use the application requirements to select the collector and blower instead of choosing by motor horsepower or headline CFM alone.
Define machines
List collection points, extraction requirements and simultaneous-use conditions.
Define airflow basis
Establish the process airflow requirement across the machines expected to run together.
Define system resistance
Account for the duct network, fittings and equipment interfaces when matching blower performance.
Choose Standard or XL
Match filtration surface and physical height to dust loading, floor plan and service access.
Close blower + disposal
Select the blower row and dust-disposal route around the complete operating plan.
Collector architecture
Beane Seamless Tube filter bank with self-cleaning filtration and an optional automatic shaker.
The collector, blower and disposal package work as separate configured components within one dust-collection system.

Standard blower rows
5 HP and 7.5 HP at 3600 RPM.
Standard blowers are separate configured components and retain their own CFM, suction, inlet, weight and sound values.
3600 RPM
5 HP Standard
2,500 CFM; 7.5 in. WC suction; 9 in. inlet; 200 lb blower weight; 82 dBA.
3600 RPM
7.5 HP Standard
3,500 CFM; 6 in. WC suction; 10 in. inlet; 240 lb blower weight; 84 dBA.
Hummer blower rows
10 / 15 / 20 HP at 1800 RPM.
Hummer is the lower-speed blower route, with each row retaining its own published performance and sound values.
1800 RPM
10 HP Hummer
4,000 CFM; 9 in. WC suction; 12 in. inlet; 350 lb blower weight; 80 dBA.
1800 RPM
15 HP Hummer
5,000 CFM; 10 in. WC suction; 14 in. inlet; 450 lb blower weight; 81 dBA.
1800 RPM
20 HP Hummer
5,000 CFM; 11 in. WC suction; 16 in. inlet; 560 lb blower weight; 83 dBA.
Blower-row CFM and suction values describe the blower selection. Installed airflow at each machine depends on the complete dust-collection system.
Filtration
Standard and XL configurations use Beane Seamless Tube filters.
Standard-height and XL configurations use different tube lengths while retaining the same tube-filter architecture.
Filter architecture
Tube filtration with two published filter lengths.
Standard-height models use Ø8 × 45 1/2 in. tubes. XL models use Ø8 × 66 in. tubes.
Record the exact BEL model and Standard/XL configuration before ordering replacement filters.
Optional automatic shaker
Filter-cleaning hardware that activates after blower shutdown.
The automatic shaker is an option and should remain identified separately from the BEL collector's core filtration package.
Optional cleaning package
Automatic shaker for filter cleaning.
The option activates after blower shutdown and is tracked as a separate configured feature in the supplied system.
Service and control procedures follow the supplied BEL configuration and manufacturer documentation.
Dust disposal
Disposable bags, steel drums, tilt trucks or a 360-gallon dump-bin route.
Choose the disposal arrangement around dust volume, floor access, handling method and service frequency.
Accessory
105-gallon tilt truck
A 105-gallon tilt-truck route is available for collected dust handling.
Accessory
360-gallon dump bin
A 360-gallon dump-bin route with forklift handling is available as a disposal option.
Disposal
Bags / drums
Disposable bags and steel drums provide additional dust-disposal routes.
Installation / interface planning
Collector footprint, blower inlet and disposal clearance close against the complete shop layout.
Published blower inlet diameters span 9 to 16 inches. Final duct routing, static-pressure basis, placement and safety architecture depend on the complete process.
Layout
Collector footprint
Model width varies by BEL configuration; published table depth is 49 in. across Standard and XL rows.
Equipment interface
Blower inlet
Blower rows use 9, 10, 12, 14 or 16 in. inlet sizes according to the selected blower.
Service
Disposal clearance
Reserve access for the selected bag, drum, tilt-truck or dump-bin arrangement and normal service work.
System design
Complete duct network
Size and route the duct system from process airflow and resistance requirements rather than blower inlet diameter alone.
Ownership / service planning
Keep collector height, filter length, blower and disposal package tied together in the machine record.
Standard-to-XL changes alter filter length and filtration surface, while blower and disposal remain separate configured components.
Filtration
