Like the pulse-jet system, the Tube-Type Shaker dust collector is sometimes referred to
as a “baghouse”. The Tube-Type Shaker System has been around for a
long time, over 50 years according to one source, but it may be older
than that. The basic design
includes a multitude of cloth or felt tubes which are closed at the top
and clamped to a tubesheet thimble at the bottom.
Air filters from the bottom up and the inside out.
The bag’s top includes a loop or strap which is attached to a
shaker rack. Dust is automatically shaken free, after the fan is shut down,
and drops into a hopper or drum(s).
This system is particularly well suited to fibrous or other dusts that
can be shaken clean off-line. Production
wood-working is the primary market for this system, although it works
well for grinding, aluminum sawing, and other applications where a
relatively coarse or fibrous dust is produced. |
