In the dust collection business, bag filter vs. cartridge filter has drawn much attention recently. Each is an application used for the treatment of dust in industrial processes. To a certain extent, the use of these filters is at the center of an ongoing debate. One that’s central question pivots on which application is better:… Read more »

When the efficiency of your dust collector begins to decrease, baghouse troubleshooting is the first step in addressing the problem. A properly functioning baghouse system will achieve up to 99.9% efficiency. With proper monitoring and maintenance, the system can operate efficiently for years. However, when systems start performing sluggishly, troubleshooting may help identify issues that… Read more »

In considering baghouse filter advantages and disadvantages, it is important to understand what a baghouse system is, exactly what baghouse filters remove, and how the system works. For those who may be in the market for a baghouse filtration, keep in mind that baghouse applications range from small household workplaces to large industrial facilities. The… Read more »

The MERV rating scale is a numerical tool used by engineers and operators of industrial dust collection systems to measure the efficiency of their systems. The rating scale is an industry-standard established to measure the overall quality, effectiveness, and performance of air filtration systems.

An important first step when establishing a maintenance plan for your dust collector system is the creation of a dust collector maintenance checklist. As with any system, routine maintenance is an important component to ensure dust collectors keep running at peak efficiency. Evaluating the performance of dust collectors makes certain systems function as designed at… Read more »

Combustible dust has long posed a serious hazard in industrial production environments. For many companies, incorporating preventive strategies is essential to hinder the accumulation of combustible dust in manufacturing plants and facilities before deflagration, flash fires, or dangerous explosions occur. At risk are employees, personnel, and visitors, but also loss of property—equipment and machinery, and… Read more »

“What size dust collector do I need?” is likely one of the first questions asked when researching dust collectors for your facility. It’s an important one. Dust collectors are a class of air pollution control devices found in industrial or commercial environments that are designed to meet EPA and workplace air quality safety requirements. They… Read more »

Effective dust control solutions are necessary for any industry whose production processes generate fine particulate matter as a material byproduct. More than simply a health risk, material dust has the potential to disrupt or halt production, damage equipment, increase plant maintenance costs, and even cause fires or explosions. Keeping industrial facilities and plants dust-free mitigates… Read more »

Many industrial workplaces require dust collection systems that clear away any filter airborne dust, along with other debris, during production. Dust collectors work on the basic premise of catching, transporting, and gathering dust and other particulates. A good dust collector design is one that does all these things well, and safely. As a key part… Read more »

In any industrial production environment, dust explosion prevention strategies and measures are essential to stop flash fires, explosions, or regular fires from occurring related to combustible dust produced and accumulated within the facility. Combustible dust hazards present very real dangers for fires and explosions in industrial production and processing plants and facilities. Dust explosion prevention… Read more »
