The requirement
Pharmaceutical processes such as granulation, milling, blending and compression generate fine powder that has to be captured at source, separated from the air and discharged safely, protecting both the product and the people.
The solution
ValensAir developed a pulse-jet bag filter dust collector and installed it at the pharmaceutical plant. Dust-laden air is filtered through bags, the bags are cleaned by compressed-air pulses, and collected dust is discharged through the hopper.
How it works
A dust collector separates particles from process air before it is discharged or returned. Dust-laden air passes through filter bags or cartridges; particles build up on the outer surface and clean air passes through. Short pulses of compressed air periodically knock the dust cake into the hopper so the filters keep working.
How the collector works
Watch dust build up on the bags and the pulse-jet clean one row at a time. Select any part to learn more.
