Case Study: Toner Dust, Jet Mill Collector Filtering using GORE® Filter Bags
Case Studies, United States
Results showed no visible emissions, excellent and consistent product yield, and secondary filter blinding significantly reduced. No bag failures since installation.
Application
Hosakawa/MikroPul pulse-jet collector (31 bags). Gas flow 1,375 acfm (ambient), air-to-cloth ratio 6/1 gross, lift velocity 3.23 fps, particle size 11 to 15 microns. New system.
Optimization Potential
- Need to minimize potential for highly visible emissions
- Need to maximize life on effluent gas stream secondary filter and maximize product yield in the collector
- Need to minimize potential for static buildup in system.
Solution
Installed GORE membrane/anti-static polyester felt filter bags (14 oz).
Results
No visible emissions. Excellent and consistent product yield. Secondary filter blinding significantly reduced. No bag failures since installation (six months).
