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)

| M² in each bag/cartridge | 1,16 | 4,00 |
| M² in unit | 84 | 288 |
Advantages:
- Lower dP due to increased media surface and thereby lower ATC-ratio (from 143 to 42 m3/m2/h). dP after 20 months: 800Pa
- Optimized suction
- Water- and oil repellent polyester media optimizes dust release
- Emission below 10mg/m3
- Lifetime increased more than 5-fold
