One of the biggest sources of operational problems in a baghouse dust collector's ventilation system is the initial layout.

When we say the initial layout, we mean the blank sheet of paper, or "paper napkin", stage of an industrial plant's equipment layout and ventilation system design. This phase of a project - before any engineering has begun - is the true first phase. Often, the problems with a baghouse dust collector's performance can be traced back to this beginning stage.

In previous tips we have discussed the importance of differential pressure, ways to monitor differential pressure and even the right numbers for differential...

First of all what is the bag pinch?

When a cage is placed inside of a filter bag there is a section of the filter bag that should be pinched together; this is...

In last month’s video in our Tip of the Month video series, Luis Castano discussed understanding differential pressure. If you haven’t seen the previous video, you...

You may have heard of differential pressure. Maybe you’ve used or monitored differential pressure in one way or another. However, do you really understand...

Do you know what the biggest performance killer for a baghouse ventilation system is?

It’s none other than “in leakage”.

For those who don’t know what in leakage...
