Application Examples

Pulse-Jet Dust Collectors Handle Particulate from Silica Sand Operations

pulse1Two TubeJet® dust collectors have been successfully employed by a major sand producer.

Two 20,000 CFM TubeJet filters collect silica sand dust at this sand processor. The first vents the screening plant, while another (shown in photo) handles the dust from a bagging facility.

TubeJet collectors have a top bag removal design, which allows easy changing from the clean air side, reducing silica exposure.

Pulse-Jet Filters Collect Dust from Rubber Compounding

pulse2A new TubeJet® dust collector has been successfully employed by this rubber compounder to collect dust from the manufacturing process. The collector ventilates Banbury mixers and their assorted feed systems, removing carbon black and various binders and fillers. System volume is 21,200 CFM at a 4.9:1 air-to-cloth ratio using 16 oz. singed polyester bags.

TubeJet collectors offer “no tool” top removal of filter bags and a convenient walk-in clean air plenum for easy maintenance and bag changing.

Pulse-Jet Dust Collector Eliminates Cyclone in Heavy Loading Application

pulse3Takes Less Space; Has Less Pressure Drop, Less Maintenance

A new Sly TubeJet® dust collector has been successfully used to collect limestone dust at this processor. The unit uses a special settling chamber designed to eliminate the need for a cyclone pre-filter, which is traditionally employed in similar heavy loading applications. Instead of a cyclone, dust enters the collector via a high side inlet which reduces the settling velocity, letting the dust drop out of the air stream. With less suspended dust, wear on the filter bags is reduced.

The TubeJet vents a rotary limestone dryer. Air volume is 16,860 ACFM at 187fF; air-to-cloth ratio is 5:1. By eliminating the cyclone, the collector has also reduced the total system pressure drop, and eliminated cyclone maintenance and cyclone space considerations.

TubeJet collectors offer “no tool” top removal of filter bags and a convenient walk-in clean air plenum for easy maintenance and bag changing.

New Compact Dust Collector Vents Rubber Grinding Process

pulse4High Side Inlet Design Accommodates Cyclone Without Adding to Footprint Size
A Sly TubeJet® dust collector has been employed to collect rubber dust from the grinding process at this rubber roller manufacturer. The collector employs a high side inlet, which accommodates a cyclone pre-cleaner without extensive additional ductwork or the need to enlarge the system’s footprint. The cyclone reduces the chance of sparks from the grinding process entering the baghouse, a situation that created numerous fires for the previous dust collection system.

Sly provided both the dust collector and cyclone collector. System volume is 5200 CFM at an air-to-cloth ratio is 7.2:1. TubeJet collectors offer “no tool” top removal of filter bags and a convenient walk-in clean air plenum for easy maintenance and bag changing.
