Improve the efficiency of your dedusting installation by converting the current filter to a bag filter with Pulse Jet cleaning

Converting industrial dust filters to dust collectors with Pulse Jet cleaning systems is an effective and cost-effective strategy to improve the filtration efficiency of the existing filter. It’s effective as dust collectors with the Pulse Jet cleaning system are among the most efficient equipment for retaining particles. It’s cost-effective because many parts of the existing filter will be used again in the filter revamping process.

Considerations and peculiarities

There are a few key things to consider when converting existing industrial filters to Pulse Jet dust collectors:

  • Evaluate whether the current filter state is suitable for this modification. Good condition of the support structure and the filter body is necessary for the conversion to make sense.
  • Know the process operations (flow, temperature, contaminants) to confirm the feasibility of bag filtration.
  • Have enough space in the existing equipment to “fill” with filter bags.

 

In addition, air quality and the specific conditions of the industrial environment must be considered. Retrofitting to Pulse Jet dust collector systems may require an initial investment and installation time, but it is often a more cost-effective alternative compared to purchasing a completely new dust collector.

Advantages and disadvantages of filter revamping versus supplying a new dust collector:

Advantages of filter revamping:

  • Economic: Conversion is often cheaper than a new dust collector, as it leverages existing infrastructure and reduces investment costs.
  • Footprint: the space of the existing equipment is used by avoiding installing new equipment in parallel.

 

Drawbacks of filter revamping:

  • Modification Required: Modifying an existing piece of equipment, usually with many years of use, can lead to unplanned costs and work during the conversion.
  • Structural Limitations: Not all existing filters can be effectively converted to Pulse Jet dust collector systems. The technical feasibility and condition of structures and sheets must be evaluated.
  • Downtime: Downtime can be higher. If a new filter can be installed in parallel, the plant can operate during assembly and commissioning. It would only need to stop for the final connection.
