Baghouse Dust Collectors
Check out this monster baghouse dust collector. Designed and installed by Dust Collector Experts panel member, Dick Wynn and his team, this pulse-jet baghouse boasts over 23,000 CFM at 15" wg through 208 bags, using a powerful 75 horsepower backward inclined blower. Notice the size of the baghouse unit compared to the man standing next to it. The main enclosure of the baghouse was lifted off the truck and into place with a crane.
Once the baghouse enclosure was up, the massive blower and fan unit were lifted to the top of the unit, again using a crane.
Here are some of the major features of this particular baghouse dust collector.
- walk-in clean air plenum
- 24" rotary air lock
- explosion relief doors
- sprinkler ports
- fire damper
- and a giant 4 ft diameter x 18 ft exhaust silencer
The 24 inch rotary air lock feeds a common dust transfer system, which in turn empties into a 40 yard collection container. The baghouse system also includes Photohelic controls for the 75 horsepower variable frequency blower drive. The drive draws a 4-20 mA signal from a pressure transmitter to maintain constant airflow despite an always changing dust load.
The new owner of this baghouse dust collector manufacturers store displays and custom cabinetry on a large scale volume. Most of the dust is emitted from CNC routers, that are machining MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). MDF dust is very fine. Design of this baghouse dust collector required special consideration for the fine dust

I am planning to buy a dust collector system.it is relatively simeple and will be dedicated o only one line.The main purpose is to take out the dust from the top seals of the bags before the sealing operation.

Annurag,
I assume since you posted your comment in the “Baghouse” section of this blog that you plan to use a baghouse system. Depending on your process, this may be the most optimal solution…or not. If you wish to provide more details about your operation, I may be able to steer you in the right direction as to which system type would suit you best.

Are there any energy efficiency options to a typical industrial baghouse, such as using VFDs to control fan speed based on baghouse pressure?

Scott,
The short answer is that the power requirements for equipment of this magnitude usually dictates that the equipment runs at the single fan speed for which it was specified at time of process evaluation. Some equipment will have an adjustable motor sheave that allows for manual adjustments to be made for tweaking purposes, but VFDs are usually provided by a third party. Typically, VFDs are chosen more for their contribution to optimal equipment operation, with energy savings as a bonus.

Can you tell me the difference between “Can Velocity” and air to cloth ratio’s. I have an application on woodwaste with an air to cloth ratio of 12:1 and a can velocity of 509fpm. The collector is constantly bridging and I am looking for reasons and solutions to this problem.
