FAS - Self-Cleaning Silo Filter
The self-cleaning filter for silos, traps any dust in the air flowing through the pneumatic lines that transport raw materials during silo loading operations.
The dust-laden air is piped into the chamber containing the bag filters. The speed variation causes the heavy particles to drop to the bottom. Any residual dust is trapped in the bag filters and the clean air flows out from the top of the filter. The layer of dust on the bag filters is removed by a jet of compressed air hitting the bag filters in the opposite direction at timed intervals. A specific manometer constantly detects pressure loss between the two zones of the filter (monitoring the efficiency of the filter bags). The machine features a cylindrical body housing the filter bags attached directly to the top of the silos.
