Used Battery Recycling Systems Lead Refining Kettle Air Filtration System – 30,000 CFM, 150 HP Blower, Bag House, BRS/Wirtz

Manufacturer Information

• Manufacturer: Battery Recycling Systems, Inc. (a subdivision of Wirtz)

• Specialization: Systems and equipment for the environmental control of lead-acid battery manufacturing and recycling operations.

• Noted for compliance-driven engineering and tailored ventilation/filtration solutions.

Description

This is a complete used air filtration system originally manufactured by Battery Recycling Systems, Inc., a Wirtz company. It is designed to handle exhaust and airborne contaminants from lead refining kettles using an integrated sanitation hood, air ducting network, and a bag house filtration unit.

The setup includes a multi-cell bag house with drop-out boxes and an automatic filter bag cleaning system with integrated dust collection. The air is pulled through approximately 60 feet of plant ductwork and recirculated by a specialty air blower, with processed air discharged through a chimney stack (to be installed by the buyer per BRS specs).

Electrical system: Operates on 460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz with 3-wire and 24 VDC control voltage. Construction features include RAL-5015 Sky Blue painted carbon steel components and RAL-1018 Zinc Yellow safety guards, using English standard fasteners and units.
