Dust Collection Guide

Below is a sketch of the Star Bag.

They came out about 10 -15 years ago as a pre-cursor to the pleated bags. It was a way to get the results of a cartridge filter style dust collector at high temperatures. Cartridges are limited to a maximum of 170degF. Also, the objective was to reduce dust penetration to adjoining bags during a cleaning cycle. It offered more surface area per bag to increase dust collection capacity per filter element. The dust collector could run at lower air-to-cloth ratios, thereby reducing the pressure drop. Our dust collector correspondence course teaches that this is a fallacy.

We believe someone in Canada makes these but we couldn’t tell you who. Some filter suppliers may know someone. These are very much more expensive than standard bags and cages. You can accomplish the same and have better results with a new advanced technology baghouse or retrofitting an existing dust collector to the new technology.

Ask for our free correspondence dust collector course and read numerous articles on dust collection technology at our internet website www.qamange.com.
