The self-cleaning filter removes dust from the air in pneumatic lines used to transport raw materials, or from other dust sources.
The dusty air is piped into the chamber containing the bag filters; the speed variation makes the heavy particles drop to the bottom, any residual dust is trapped in the bag filters and the clean air flows out the top of the filter. The layer of dust on the bag filters is eliminated by a jet of compressed air that hits the bag filters in the opposite direction to the airflow at timed intervals. A specific manometer constantly detects the pressure loss between the two zones of the filter (checking the degree of efficiency of the filter bags). The machine consists of a frame and a cylindrical doby holding the filter bags, while the bottom may be conical or fitted with a scraper bed.

Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
