Hammer Beater Plate in Electrostatic Precipitator

Hammer beater plate is one of electrostatic precipitator parts. Electrostatic precipitator is equipment in steam boiler which is used to filter flue gas before pass through stack and discharged to atmosphere. Hammer beater plate in electrostatic precipitator is used to clean collector electrode plates from dust particle that settles due to electrostatic precipitator process. Furthermore hammer beater plate is driven by low speed motor (see Figure 1).

Hammer beater plate is designed with different position, so the beating on the collector electrode plate alternately ongoing. The position of hammer beater is along electrode hammer shaft and coupling shaft through transmission gear to motor shaft.
