The Problem: There are serious flaws in equipment designed by all major baghouse and cartridge dust collector suppliers. Certain basic laws of physics and air dynamics were not considered in their product development. The main design flaw of continuous cleaning collectors of that is believed by designers that volume (flow in CFM) per filter element is solely a function of filter area. The truth is that it is related to cleaned filter.

The Solution: Quality Air Management's exclusive retrofit/rebuild service. applies 10+year-old proven Advanced Technology, with over 500 units in service, to the conventionally designed dust collector.

Problems to Correct:

  • Poor Performance; dust penetration through filter media, high pressure drop, frequent filter replacements

  • Poor bag or cartridge filter design; leaking, plugging (or blinding), excessive bridging, tears and ruptures.

  • Poor Inlet Position and Air Distribution; abrasion problems, excessive dust loading, inefficient cleaning

  • Fine dust hanging up in the filter is due to excessive upward "can" velocity

  • Dust hanging up in cartridges due to improper sequencing control

  • Poor Air Volume or Pressure to the Pulse Pipe; air-jet does not properly clean the filter, as low as only 10% of the filter gets cleaned

  • Condensation in Filter Cake; caused by cooling of cleaning air jet, adversely affects media permeability

  • Excessive use of compressed air to properly clean the filters
