How to Choose a Bag Filter in a Cement Plant?
Cement production generates large amounts of dust and particles. Therefore, selecting the right bag filter is a critical decision for compliance with environmental regulations, occupational safety, and system efficiency.
- Sources of Dust in Cement Production
- Crushing, grinding, and conveying processes
- Kiln exhaust gases
- Packaging and shipping points
- Primary Functions of the Filter
- Minimizing particle emissions
- Protecting air quality
- Supporting the efficiency of the filtration system within the process
- Key Criteria for Selecting a Bag Filter
- Temperature Resistance: Choosing materials that can withstand high temperatures, especially at clinker cooling and kiln outlets (e.g., Nomex, PTFE-coated fabrics)
- Dust Properties and Abrasiveness: Due to the high abrasiveness of cement dust, selecting durable fabric and stitching options
- Moisture Level: Using coatings or materials that prevent clogging in humid environments
- Air-to-Cloth Ratio: Calculating the appropriate filtration area
- Compatibility with Cleaning System: Bag length and diameter compatible with pulse jet systems
