How To Pulse Clean Industrial Filters?

Pulse cleaning an industrial filter involves checking for pressure drop, using a pulse of compressed air to dislodge the dust, and effectively collecting and disposing of it. In this blog, Dynamic Filtration Ltd., a major manufacturer of custom filters and filter elements in Waterloo, Ontario, explores this process in detail.

 

 

What Are The Steps To Pulse Clean Industrial Filters?

 

 

Monitor Pressure Drop

 

As the dust continues to accumulate in the industrial filter, a noticeable drop in air pressure will occur. When it drops below permissible limits, it is time to clean the filter element thoroughly via pulse cleaning. 

 

Release Compressed Air Pulses

 

Pulses of compressed air are directed to clean the industrial filter in such a way that the accumulated dust is removed. This can be done manually, or it can be automated when the pressure differential exceeds a certain limit. 

 

Dislodge The Caked Dust

 

The force generated from the compressed air will vibrate the filter element in such a way that it is not damaged, but the dust clinging to its surface is dislodged. 

 

Dust Collection And Disposal

 

Depending on the amount of dust dislodged, different types of collection methods can be implemented. However, the most prominent method is to use a hopper at the bottom of the industrial filter, which collects all the dislodged dust and contaminants. Thus, the filter can resume its normal operation without facing any damage or drop in pressure.

 

 

Conclusion

 

In closing, this is a standard 4-step process to remove any caked dust or contaminant in an industrial filter with the help of the pulse cleaning method.
