Industrial Air Ventilation & Dust Collection Systems

Providing quality systems in a timely manner, on an as needed basis, at a fair price to our customers since 1963.

About Us

The Bruning & Federle headquarters is located in the heart of North Carolina. Bruning & Federle was founded in 1963 by long-time friends and business associates, Mr. Dave Bruning and Mr. Bob Federle. In 1994, Bruning & Federle acquired an age old competitor: Carolina Blower Corporation. Being located in Statesville, NC put Bruning & Federle in close proximity to the furniture industry, where the market flourished until the late 1990's. Due to the ever-changing demands of a global economy, diversification became a necessity and recent projects have expanded to include: foam recovery/recycling, environmental air purification, arresting of paper waste, automotive/metal finishing, grain conveyances, mining dust containment/extraction, metal tooling mist elimination, textiles dust extraction, pneumatic transfer and powdered pigment subjugation. The above products have been located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Between Bruning & Federle Mfg. Company and its subsidiary of Carolina Blower, there is a combined manufacturing-design-installation experience of over 120 years.

Components

Bruning & Federle Manufacturing offers several proprietary products to support your dust collection system needs, including material handling fans, rotary air locks, and non-enclosure dust collectors.

Material handling fan offerings include the Bruning & Federle Line and the Carolina Blower Line. Carolina Blower was acquired by B&F in the 1990s and continues to lead the industry, carrying forward its legacy since 1919 as the workhorse of material handling fans. The Bruning & Federle Fan Line provides a heavier-duty option for more demanding applications. Both designs are equipped with the correct motors, drives, and arrangements, selected by our experienced sales engineers.

The Dust Collection Guy Series of products is manufactured by Bruning & Federle Manufacturing. This includes the DCG Rotary Air Lock Series, featuring a Sumitomo gearbox and 3/8-inch belted rubber wipers—a superior design compared to others in the industry. The line also features the DCG-5000 Non-Enclosure Dust Collector, available in multiple sizes and configurations to meet each customer’s interior installation requirements.

Together, these offerings demonstrate Bruning & Federle’s continued commitment to providing durable, high-performance solutions built to meet the rigorous demands of industrial dust collection systems.
