Introduction Baghouse dust collectors capture the particulate in an air stream by forcing the airflow through filter bags.

Reverse air collectors use a traveling manifold to distribute low-pressure cleaning air—3–7 pounds-force per square inch gauge (psig)—to the filter bags for reconditioning. They have no compressed air requirements and involve no freezing of air lines. On the negative side, they have larger footprints than conventional collectors and maintaining their cleaning mechanisms is difficult. They […]
