HOW TO REDUCE DUST COLLECTOR MAINTENANCE IN THE CEMENT INDUSTRY

cement industry dust collection

In an industry where time plays a big roll in overall profitability, manufacturers do not have extra resources to spend on unnecessary downtime. Costly maintenance often forces companies to search for better, more reliable solutions.

In the cement industry, filters are critical in collecting harmful dust produced through a variety of applications. However, some companies have experienced short lifespans for these filters, leading to extra replacement costs and wasted time.

The shortened lifespan is often caused by a combination of factors. The velocity of dust can render the membrane of the filter bags useless. This allows the dust to seep through and increase the differential pressure, which in turn, increases the emissions from the system.

Another contributing factor to the shortened lifespan is the air to filter ratio. Some filters are not designed to handle large areas of airflow. When they are placed in an application that covers a lot of ground, the filters are unable to provide full coverage, leaving some of the air unfiltered.

In a recent blog post, Parker introduces a solution to this problem: the Parker OSEPA BHA® PulsePleat® filter elements (PFE). The PFE’s offer helpful benefits to the cement industry, including:

  • An Increased total area of air filtration
  • Increased annual savings in compressed air consumption
  • 55% reduction of differential pressure
  • 200% increase in filter bag life, which is equivalent to over five years

By utilizing these filters, the cement industry can avoid the high costs of modifying their equipment and adding additional dust collectors. Instead, cement companies can experience longer lifespans, lower emissions and reduced costs from their filters.
