Pulse bag filter (pulse bag filter)

Pulse dust collector (also known as pulse jet bag filter) is an efficient and automatic industrial dust removal equipment that removes dust from the airflow through filter bags and periodic compressed air pulses.

 

Working principle of pulse bag filter

 

The working process of a pulse bag filter is divided into two cycles: filtration and dust cleaning. Simply put, it first blocks the dust and then blows it off with air, and the cycle works.

1. Filtration stage (normal dust removal)

The exhaust gas containing dust enters the dust collector through the air inlet under the suction of the fan.

When the airflow passes through the filter bag, dust is intercepted on the outer surface of the filter bag, and clean air passes through the filter bag.

The purified air is discharged from the air outlet to complete dust removal.

2. Dust cleaning stage (automatic cleaning of filter bags)

As the surface area of the filter bag becomes increasingly dusty and the resistance of the equipment increases, the automatic dust cleaning system starts:

The controller opens the pulse valve, and the high-pressure compressed air in the air bag is instantly sprayed out.

High pressure airflow quickly sprays into the interior of the filter bag, causing it to instantly expand and vibrate.

The dust adhering to the outside was shaken off and fell into the ash hopper below.

After the dust cleaning is completed, the filter bag resumes its filtering ability and continues to work.

3. Ash unloading stage

The dust collected in the ash hopper is discharged through devices such as ash discharge valves and screw conveyors to complete the entire process.

Main structure of pulse bag filter

 

Upper box (clean air chamber)

Install spray pipes, pulse valves, and clean air outlets to discharge purified air.

Central box (filter bag chamber)

The core filtration area is equipped with filter bags and bag cages, where dusty gases are removed through the filter bags.

Lower box (ash hopper)

Collecting fallen dust is usually equipped with unloading devices (such as ash discharge valves, screw conveyors, etc.).

Pulse cleaning system

Composed of an air bag, pulse valve, spray pipe, and electrically controlled dust cleaning controller, it regularly sprays compressed air to clean the dust on the filter bag.

Air inlet and outlet

Inlet air: dusty gas enters; Exhaust: Clean gas is discharged after purification.

Bracket and maintenance platform

Support the entire machine for easy maintenance and replacement of filter bags.

Induced draft system (fan)

Provide negative pressure to facilitate the smooth passage of dusty airflow through the dust collector.

Main advantages of pulse bag filter

 

Extremely high dust removal efficiency

Good capture effect on fine dust, low emission concentration, and can easily meet environmental emission standards.

Can work continuously online

Using pulse blowing for dust cleaning, it can automatically clean the dust without stopping the machine, suitable for 24-hour continuous production.

Good dust cleaning effect and stable resistance

Compressed air pulse strong dust cleaning, filter bag is not easy to block, and the equipment has stable operating resistance.

Handling large air volume and wide applicability

It can handle high air volume dusty gases and is suitable for most industries such as woodworking, metallurgy, building materials, chemical engineering, and machinery.

Easy maintenance and low operating costs

The filter bag has a long service life and is easy to replace; High degree of automation and low daily maintenance workload.

Compact structure and small footprint

Modular design, flexible layout, customizable according to on-site space, suitable for installation in the workshop.

Temperature resistance and strong adaptability

Choosing different filter media can adapt to normal temperature, medium temperature, and high temperature working conditions, and is suitable for both dry and wet, coarse and fine dust.

 

Common application scenarios of pulse bag filter

 

Pulse bag filter is the most versatile and widely used equipment in industrial dust removal, which can be used in almost all working conditions that generate dry dust. The common scenarios are as follows:
