Case Study: PVC - Paste Resins Conveying Line Collector using GORE® Filter Bags
Case Studies, United States
Lower operating DP (5"-7" DP) improved cake release, allowing increased airflow through collector. Bleed-through stopped, allowing capture of product. First set of bags lasted more than five years.
Application
MikroPul Pulse Jet Collector (288 bags) 8,400 cfm @ 145°F air-to-cloth ratio 3.1/1; grain loading 83.3 gr/acf.
Optimization Potential
1. Blinding due to poor cake release, resulting in four-month bag life;
2. Operating DP 9"-20". Higher air throughput could allow increases in production.
3. Dusting of collector due to product bleed-through;
4. Loss of product.
Solution
GORE Membrane/Heavy Duty Polyester Felt filter bags were installed.
Results
Lower operating DP (5"-7" DP) improved cake release, allowing increased airflow through collector. Bleed-through stopped, allowing capture of product. First set of bags lasted more than five years.
