Dust Collector Housing

The housing encloses and protects the internal components of the baghouse. It also provides structural support and prevents leakage of collected dust.

Baffle Plate

A baffle plate is a crucial component of a baghouse dust collector, and it is strategically placed in a baghouse to:

• Pre-separate larger and heavier particles from the air stream before the air stream reaches the filter bags so that it reduces the load on the filter bags, extending their lifespan.
• Distribute the incoming contaminated air evenly across the filter bags, ensuring more consistent and efficient filtration.
• Prevent abrasive dust particles from directly hitting the filter bags, which can cause damage and tears.

Inlet Duct

The inlet duct connects the source of the dust-laden air to the dust collector. It directs the airflow into the baghouse for effective dust capture.

Filter Bags or Cartridges

These are the primary filtration elements where dust particles are captured. The filter bags or cartridges allow air passage while trapping and retaining the dust on their surfaces.

Clean Air Plenum

This chamber collects the cleaned air after it passes through the filter bags. It serves as a transition zone for the air before it is directed to the outlet.

Tube Sheet

The tube sheet supports and holds the filter bags or cartridges in place. It provides a seal to prevent air and dust bypass.

Cleaning System

This system is responsible for periodically cleaning the filter bags to maintain their efficiency. Different types of baghouse dust collectors use different cleaning mechanisms, such as pulse jet compressed air, reverse airflow, and shaking/vibration mechanism.

Hopper

The hopper is a collection chamber located beneath the filter bags. It accumulates the dislodged dust, allowing for easy removal and disposal.

Dust Discharge System

The dust discharge system includes mechanisms such as rotary valves or screw conveyors to transfer collected dust from the hopper to an external disposal or recycling system.

Fan or Blower

The fan or blower creates the necessary airflow within the dust collector. It draws the dust-laden air into the system through the inlet duct and pushes the cleaned air out through the outlet.

Outlet Duct

The outlet duct directs the cleaned air from the clean air plenum to the external environment or downstream processes.

Exhaust Stack

The exhaust stack releases the cleaned air into the atmosphere while complying with environmental regulations.

Access Doors and Inspection Ports

These provide access points for maintenance personnel to inspect and service internal components, such as the filter bags and pulse cleaning system.
