Cartridge collectors are highly efficient in collection of dust with high bulk densities and fine dust particles. Filter cake forms well at low pressure drop and has high filtration efficiency. In a study conducted by the American Foundry Society it was found that the outlet dust flow in cartridge collectors was the least in comparison with other dust collectors in foundry operations
Dust Collection Considerations
- Fine dust normally adheres to surface of filter element and accumulates other fine dust particles as well
- When accumulated dust cake formed properly and is large enough and unaffected by upward air streams, it falls into the hopper
