Case Study:

Too high dP in cement raw mill transport collector

Location: 

  • SWITZERLAND

Operation:

Transport raw mill

Dust type:

Raw milled material

Problem:

High deltaP resulted in short lifetime (only 6 months with bags)
Dust on transport line = low suction

Solution:

Installation of Pleated Bags with PTFE coated spun bond polyester media from Nordic Air Filtration (in May 2015)
