The airflow in dust collection systems is crucial to the proper operation of the system. The dust collection system consists of the hood/pickup points, ductwork, dust collector(s) and exhaust fan. The hood/pickup points are designed to capture the dust. This design requires a range of airflows to properly work. If too little airflow is going …
Using bags, cartridges, and filters for dust collection is one of the best ways of capturing dust particles in the airstream. The filter allows the air to pass by while preventing the particulate from passing through. The dust particles then begin to build up on the filter. This build up helps prevent smaller particles from …
Nearly all process facilities create dust and fine particles, either as the product itself or as a byproduct. Whether it is a seasoning in the food and beverage industry, a drug formulation in the pharmaceutical industry or limestone dust in the aggregate industry, as these particles move through the plant during production, they can enter …
Choosing pulse valves that improve dust collector performance Read More »
Many production facilities have a significant number of dust collectors. Many have continuing problems with short bag life and low-pressure problems at the farthest points from the central air system. They often run on timers. When they try to run on demand control, they often get extreme short cycling, which causes even more bag problems. …
A pulse jet valve engine is a type of jet engine that makes use of pulses of combustion instead of constant combustion to stay in the air, thereby reducing fuel expenses and increasing performance. While pulsejet valve engines have been employed in many functional jets, they can also be used for a variety of other …

What is the Primary Function of a Pneumatic Actuator? A pneumatic actuator, unlike the other ways to power an actuator, is primarily used to power a valve within a system. They convert pressurized air into energy to keep a system operating smoothly. This can be for gas, load or water movement. The pneumatic actuator is …
What Are Pneumatic Actuators and Why Do We Use Them? Read More »
Valve actuators, used for operating valves for opening, closing or modulating service, come in a variety of configurations and power sources. Two of the most recognizable types based on these criteria are pneumatic and hydraulic. Each has positives and negatives depending in part on the specific application, space requirements, operating pressures and speeds needed for …
One common mistake operators make in dust collectors is to use the dust collector hopper to store material. The hopper in a dust collector isn’t designed for this. Instead it is a temporary home for the dust collected while the material is being removed. This period should be as short as possible for the following …
Dust Collector Hoppers Are Not For Material Storage Read More »
Diaphragm and solenoid valves are often the last item on your Pulse Jet Dust Collector that is maintained or serviced. While most operators focus on filter performance, in terms of emissions and ventilation, the pulse jet system valves are leaking operational dollars. The moving parts (springs, media, and plungers) within a solenoid and diaphragm valve …
