Operating principle
The filter system is designed as a bag filter. The fan operates on the clean air side. The filter bags are stretched over support cages and fastened to the overhead bag base in the clean gas section. The dust-laden air flows through the filter bags from the outside to the inside. The hoses are cleaned by compressed air pulses and the cleaned dust is collected in the filter bunker. Filter cleaning takes place automatically via a filter differential pressure-dependent control. The dust is continuously discharged into a movable pre-tank by means of trough chain conveyors and rotary valves. The cleaned exhaust air from the filter is discharged to the outside via the fan and the clean gas stack.
