How Shaker Filter Bags Collect Dust

Shaker baghouses collect dust similar to reverse air baghouses. Dust collects on the inside surface of the shaker filter bags, and then clean air exits through the top of the bag. The main difference is how the bags cleaned.

How to Clean Shaker Filter Bags

Shaker baghouses are engineered so that filters are hung and tensioned fr

Introduction to Pulse-Jet Filter Bags

How Pulse-Jet Filter Bags Collect Dust

Pulse-jet filter bags are used to remove dust particulate and contaminants from the air in warehouses, plants, factories, foundries, and more. Pulse-jet is one of the most common styles of 

Dust Collector Fan Sizing
Industrial fans are used in dust collection systems to push dust-laden air through the filters. Fans can either force a draft (push air) or induce a draft (suck air) through the dust collector. Industrial fans are an essential component to a dust collection system so it’s important to choose the right size fan to make sure you have adequate suction to remove dust from the work environment.

Today we will be helping you size your dus

High Temperature Filter Bags

Is your application operating at a high temperature over 275 degrees Fahrenheit? If so, there are many dust collector filter bag options to choose from. Outlined below is your guide to high temperature dust collector filter bags. We’ve broken down characteristics and properties of the top five most common filter media options.

Polyester vs Polypropylene Industry Use

Today we are exploring the differences between Polyester vs Polypropylene filter bags. Polyester is one of the most widely used filter bag medias in the dust collection industry because of its reliable performance in a broad range of applications, relatively low cost, and availability. Many industries includin

Static Pressure and Your Dust Collection System

Static pressure is the pressure created by a fan or other source to move air through a ventilation system and plays a critical role in the design and performance of pulse jet baghouse dust collection systems. Today we are discussing the importance of static pressure, what it is, how it’s measured, and how to calculate it.

Dust Collection Customer Experience Summary:

• Industrial Dust Collection buyers place high importance on customer experience when making purchasing decisions
• Customer experience is defined by the interactions a buyer has with a company before, during and after a sale.
• There are five things industrial buyers value most in their purchasing experience: Product knowledge, Responsiveness, Service, Relationship, and Educational Resources

Why you may need a new dust collection system for your application and how a new system improve operations.

What is a Dust Collection System?

Dust collection systems are engineered and designed to filter airborne dust particles and debris that can cause damage to plant equipment, create a hazardous work environment, and negatively impact plant production.</

Dust Collection Lead Times

Dust collection lead times and shipping can be affected by several different reasons. Whether you are returning to work, ramping up production, or are planning a change-out during this holiday season, consider the following factors that can have an impact on your lead time.

• Media Availability: Specialty or rare media is usually not in-stock and would have to be sourced or fabricated. This can include media suc

Rotary valves (also known as airlocks, rotary feeders, or airlock feeders) are used to transition material from one pressurized point, such as a dust collector, to another unpressurized point, such as a drum or bin. Rotary valves help seal a pressurized system against loss of air and pressure. Rotary valves also help ensure loss of product during processing is minimized.
