HOW THE REVERSE PULSE BAG FILTER WORKS

The dust-laden air enters the bottom hopper section, directly onto an inlet air diffuser plate. This diffuser plate changes the direction of flow and reduces the velocity of the particles. Lower velocities ensure primary drop-out of the heavier particles. The lighter particles move upward in the air stream and onto the external surfaces of the filter bags. 

As the dust accumulates on the outside of the filter bags, periodic cleaning is accomplished by introducing a short burst of compressed air delivered through a specially designed venturi mounted directly above each filter bag. The clean air flows through the bag media to the clean air chamber and out to atmosphere. 

Dust from the bags after a cleaning cycle falls in a “dust cake” form into the hopper from where it is discharged via a dust disposal system. Only a fraction of the filter bags are cleaned at one time, under continuous flow through the collector at rated capacities. The dust collector bags can be readily inspected, checked, maintained or replaced from the clean air plenum.
