The new and improved Particulator is an award-winning DPF that greatly improves air quality in the workspace, particularly when machines are used in confined spaces. Lower the risk of mild to severe health problems from breathing in harmful fumes by using the Particulator. It’s easy to install and remove and can easily be fitted to machines less than 60 kW. By removing the black carbon particulate, the lifetime global warming footprint of the machine improves by 32% which makes it much of the way to using an electric machine.

BISAF will also showcase a new modular edge protection system for use around excavations on site. This uses supports that are driven into or bolted onto the ground and can be set up about any area in any shape or size. Quick and easy to install and the systems can be reused. Save time, hassle, and materials.

About BISAF’S PARTICULATOR^®

• Developed for the plant hire industry and owner-operators
• Quick and easy to install and remove
• Easy electrical regeneration
• High particulate removal, independently verified

BISAF developed The Particulator^® because the company saw that smaller construction machines, with relatively high concentrations of particulate in the exhaust, were being used in confined spaces, leading to dangerously poor air quality for workers and others at and near the site.

The Particulator^® filter system is bolted to a frame normally installed behind the machine operator and can be fitted to or removed from the frame in minutes. This feature is important for the plant hire business where a filter may not be specified for every job and the filter can be transferred to a machine when it is required.

Because of unpredictable operating cycles, and mounting the filter at the end of the exhaust system for easy installation and removal, temperatures are too low for a passive regeneration system to work, so an electrical heating system has been developed to clean the trapped particulate from the system. When the filter monitor indicates that the filter should be regenerated, the engine is turned off, an external electrical supply is connected, and one button is pushed on the control box to start the process. After 30 minutes the clean filter is ready to start work again.

BISAF started by using OEM filter technology in which all of the exhaust passes through a ceramic wall flow filter. This was independently tested at Cambustion Ltd to give over 99.9% particulate removal. The regeneration cycle was also monitored during testing and showed good removal of accumulated particulate resulting in low back pressure over the filter.

The Particulator^® is constructed in stainless steel with thick insulation to retain heat and high-quality components for durability. It has now been extensively used on different construction sites and has proved to be robust in operation as well as popular with workers as it gives a major improvement to the air that they breathe. There is also an optional stainless steel cover available that protects the filter system from impacts during machine use as well as provides additional worker heat protection during regeneration. An electronic back pressure monitor and data logger shows the operator the condition of the filter and when a regeneration is needed with a simple traffic light system. It is also possible to download the backpressure history to see the frequency of regeneration and aid investigation of any operational problems.
