The Pulse-Jet
Bag dust collector, also known as the baghouse, has been used successfully for
decades for everything from rock crushing, to coal handling, to
production wood-working. Round
filter bags, from 4” to 6” in diameter and up to 12 foot in length,
are suspended vertically inside the housing.
Round wire cages keep the bags from collapsing as the air passes
from the outside in. Cleaned
air travels out of the bag’s top and into the clean air plenum, then
into the fan. When cleaning, a pulse of high pressure air is directed
into the bag (reverse-flow direction), inflating the bag and causing
fabric deflection and high inertial forces that separate the dust from
the bag. Dust drops into
the hopper which is then emptied using a rotary air lock. |
