__________________________________________
Regardless of which bullet collection option you
choose, the problem of lead dust is solved by our
revolutionary Dust Collection Unit. The DCU is a
powerful vacuum system that continuously removes
lead dust and other fine airborne particles from inside
the trap.
Because the DCU creates a negative pressure
environment in the deceleration chambers, lead dust,
smoke, and other fine particles never have a chance to
escape or settle on the rest of your range.
Our negative pressure vacuum system is superior
to positive pressure or “air barrier” systems for 2
significant reasons. First, an air barrier at the throat
of the trap works both ways. Any dust created on
the funnel plates can be blocked from entering the
deceleration chamber and can be pushed away on to
the range. Second, positive pressure can actually force
dust created inside the chamber back out the throat of
the trap and on to the range. Try blowing a crumpled
paper ball into a glass or a bottle for a compelling
example of this phenomenon.
The patented negative pressure DCU technology is
unique to Action Target, and is effective on both indoor
and outdoor ranges. To comply with OSHA regulations
and to protect the surrounding environment, the DCU
uses its own internal filters to clean the air from the
trap before it is exhausted.

technical data
performance characteristics
The Dust Collection Unit is an air filtration system used in conjunction with Action Target’s Total Containment Trap (TCT). The DCU acts as an
active lead accumulation system that captures and removes airborne lead particulates from within the deflection aperture and deceleration
chamber of the TCT.
The DCU system employs a containment canister where bullet debris is directed and contained. The debris can then be removed for disposal or
recycling. The canister is connected to the DCU with an air-tight seal. The canister comes with a locking lid. After it is filled, the canister can be
removed with the lid secured in place. The canister can be emptied and reused or it can be used to contain the lead permanently.
The DCU maintains an average airflow rate of at least 150 cfm for every 5’ of linear trap. The velocity of the air entering each chamber is
maintained at above 360 fpm through the trap’s opening. The filtration section of the DCU processes airflow at an efficiency rate exceeding
99.99% on 1 micron particulates and 99.9% on 0.12 micron particulates. The DCU incorporates a self-monitoring, self-cleaning process. All filter
elements are disposable and have an average life expectancy of 5000 operating hours.
As an optional second stage, a redundant HEPA grade filtration system can be integrated with the DCU. The HEPA filter can exceed 99.99%
efficiency on 0.12 micron particulates.
