Advantages:

  • Less wear of the filter media due to larger dropout box (2,82m shorter filter) = "Gravity-filtration" separates the larger dust particles
  • Lower dP.
  • Lower emission than with conventional filter bags = emission below customer limit 20mg/m3.
  • After 22 months running time customer is still satisfied with the solution and has since ordered for additional cement mill
