Scientific Dust Collectors for Your Process

Capture process dust, vent a filling silo, or improve an existing baghouse. RTS helps match the collector, cleaning system and discharge arrangement to your dust and airflow.

Are you capturing process dust, venting a bin, or improving an existing collector?

A collector works as part of the air and material system

Start with the dust source and the actual air volume at operating conditions. Then review dust loading, particle behaviour, moisture, temperature, filter media and cleaning. Access, compressed air, fan duty and the way dust leaves the hopper also affect the arrangement. Send the current operating problem as well as the equipment model when reviewing a retrofit.

Baghouse Dust Collectors

Baghouse Dust Collectors

Filter dust-laden air through fabric bags and clean the filter surface.

Example: Collect process dust where fabric filter media and accessible bag maintenance suit the duty.

Also known as: Fabric filter collectors, pulse-jet baghouses, SDC SPJ collectors.

Cartridge Dust Collectors

Cartridge Dust Collectors

Use pleated filters to collect suitable process dust.

Example: Collect a suitable dry process dust where cartridge service space fits the installation.

Also known as: Pleated-filter collectors, cartridge filtration units, SDC LP collectors.

Cyclone Dust Collectors

Cyclone Dust Collectors

Separate suitable particles from air using centrifugal action.

Example: Remove a coarse dust fraction before a downstream filtration stage.

Also known as: Centrifugal dust separators, cyclone separators, dry pre-separators.

Bin Vent Collectors

Bin Vent Collectors

Filter air displaced when a bin or silo is filled.

Example: Filter displaced air during pneumatic filling of a silo.

Also known as: Silo vent filters, bin vents, low-profile bin vent collectors.

Filter Receivers

Filter Receivers

Separate conveyed solids from the conveying air at a receiving point.

Example: Receive a pneumatically conveyed ingredient and separate it from the conveying air.

Also known as: Pneumatic filter receivers, conveying receivers, filtered receiving vessels.

Baghouse Cleaning Retrofits

Baghouse Cleaning Retrofits

Assess whether an existing pulse-jet baghouse can be improved.

Example: Review a baghouse with high differential pressure and inadequate pulse cleaning.

Also known as: Pulse-jet cleaning retrofits, baghouse cleaning upgrades, SDC cleaning conversions.

Scientific Dust Collectors overview

An introduction to SDC and its dust collection equipment and cleaning approach.

Filter-cleaning technology explained

SDC compares its cleaning nozzle with a generic pulse-jet baghouse system. This explains the cleaning method rather than guaranteeing the same result for every dust.

How the equipment fits into your process

At the dust source

Identify each hood or pickup at the bag station, mixer, sifter, transfer point or packaging line. Send the duct layout and required capture duty.

At the collector

Match filtration and cleaning to the dust and air conditions. Keep filter replacement, service access and compressed-air quality in the review.

At the discharge

Define whether collected material goes to a drum, airlock, screw conveyor or reuse stream. Include discharge height and downstream equipment.

Application examples

Installed SDC insulated baghouse at a dry synthetic gypsum process
Gypsum collection and recovered-material discharge
SDC’s published application combines an insulated collector with a hopper screw conveyor to return collected gypsum to the process.
Installed SDC collector serving cosmetic powder packaging
Dust capture around packaging stations
The OPI application sheet describes improved pickup points ducted to an indoor collector to address migrating cosmetic dust.

Questions to help plan your application

What information should I send?

Include dust type, particle size, bulk density, moisture, temperature, loading and required actual airflow. Add the pickup points, duct layout, static pressure if known, discharge arrangement and available space.

What should I send for a baghouse retrofit?

Include make and model, filter count and dimensions, current differential pressure, compressed-air pressure, cleaning sequence and filter life. Describe when the performance issue occurs and any process changes.

Why distinguish actual and standard airflow?

Collector sizing needs the air volume at operating conditions. State whether your flow is actual or standard and include temperature, pressure and site elevation if known.

How do we review combustible dust?

Tell RTS whether a dust test report or hazard assessment is available. Include known Kst and Pmax and existing protection. Review collection and connected-equipment protection together; the collector type alone does not establish the protection required.
