Baghouse dust collectors, one of the most efficient and cost effective types of dust collectors available, can achieve a collection efficiency of more than 99% for very fine particles. This is due to dust particles loading on the filtration media, helping to block other particles as they approach in the air stream.

Types of Baghouse Dust Collectors...

Mechanical Shaker
In this type of dust collector, the filter bags are shaken as they become more agglomerated with dust particles, preventing dust re-entrainment. This keeps the filters from achieving potential maximum efficiency, but reduces maintenance time and filter replacement cost.
The design simplicity of the mechanical shaker type baghouse dust collector is one of the reasons it is so popular in today's industry.

Reverse Air
Airflow is created both clockwise and counter-clockwise in this type of dust collector to filter out the contaminants. The down side to using this method, however, is the amount of increased maintenance compared to other types. This maintenance is the result of dust re-entrainment on the filter bags.

Reverse Jet
In a reverse-jet baghouse dust collector, contaminants enter from the lower portion of the filter housing, where a metal cage is incorporated to support the filter bag and prevent collapse. By supplying a compressed air line to the baghouse, it is possible to achieve a nearly self-running operation; as the dust collector uses the compressed air to pulse the filter bags, dust is blown down into your designated collection bin.
