Baghouse Filter Accessories

Because each baghouse has its own set of characteristics and system parameters, it is essential to evaluate many variables, from temperature to particulate abrasiveness, to choose a fabric best suited to your system. Typically, felt filter bags are used in pulse-jet collectors. Woven filter bags are used in reverse air or shaker baghouses.

We offer many specialty fabrics that collect particulate with the dustcake and fabric structure including Tri-Loft and Reverse Air Tri-Loft fiberglass, which uses highly texturized bulky yarns to add surface area, depth, and felt-like density. Duo-Density felt fabrics are used in pulse-jet and reverse air dust collectors and feature a blend of finer denier fibers to provide a tighter surface for filtration without increasing differential pressure.

When you need filter bags for your collector, don't overlook the parts and accessories. Not including these items is usually a false economy. New filters won't stop emissions without new seals or gaskets to help seal them to the tubesheet for a leak-free fit.

Your filter bag may need replacement because your venturi's show signs of wear, your tubesheet may have cracks, or burrs may have snagged your bags during installation. Whatever the reason, before replacing bags, a technical inspection by a Parker baghouse specialist can prevent delays in getting the unit back online. If problems exist beyond simple bag replacement, they can be identified, and plans can be formed to get your equipment back in operation to meet air pollution control requirements.

Your fabric filter dust collector performance can only be as good as the weakest component in the system. Over time, leaks and cracks can develop, and cleaning system components can fail. Even new systems need monitoring and performance tuning to meet your applications. Ambient conditions, pressure gauges, and cleaning systems controls are crucial to getting the maximum efficiency from your system.

We can provide you with the bag house parts and accessories needed to maintain peak performance, consistent operation, and efficiency.

The proprietary BHA Visolite Leak Detection System helps reduce downtime and is more effective and safer than visual inspections. Visolite provides the highest visibility for locating filter bag tears, holes, bad seals, and structural weak points—such as weld cracks. To facilitate trying to find leaks, BHA Visolite, a lightweight fluorescent powder, is injected into the baghouse. The powder follows the path of least resistance, accumulating around the source of leakage. A monochromatic light is then used to pinpoint the exact location of the leak and indicate its severity.

BHA Neutralite Conditioning Agents are injected into a baghouse to establish initial dust cake on new filter bags or to re-establish dust cake on bags in operation. BHA Neutralite powder protects bags from particulate bleed-through, blinding, and problems caused by hydrocarbons and moisture carryover. We offer both BHA Neutralite Powder and BHA Neutralite SR (Spark Retardant) for specialized applications to help prevent bags from spark carryover.

Proper door seals save money by preventing outdoor air from leaking into your air pollution control equipment. If doors do not seal properly, they can cause many problems within your air pollution control equipment, including corrosion of doors and walls, fugitive emissions, production losses, reduction of airflow across filters because of condensation, and blinding and maintenance problems.

Door seals are available to meet specific needs of doors and applications based on gas chemistry, temperature, and door configurations.

The diaphragm and solenoid valves work together to operate the baghouse cleaning system efficiently. We have many valves to best fit your application, including high-volume and low-pressure models. For highly corrosive applications, valves can be coated in various finishes. Integral solenoid valves can be mounted directly on the diaphragm valve, while remote solenoids are mounted in a separate NEMA enclosure. Goyen® and ASCO® valves are also available. We can provide technical support, complete rebuild instructions, and an in-house engineering staff to assist your crews with site-specific valve problems.

Simplify filter bag installation with new clamps, which help increase bag life by decreasing leakage and abrasion. We designed each clamp to ensure proper bag seal and simplify filter installation. Clamps can be used with raw edge, cord, hem, sleeve-constructed bags, and pleated filter elements. We recommend replacing clamps each time filter elements are changed.

Vacutrans are an industrial/contractor's tool to convert the compressed air supply into a high-powered vacuum and material transferring system. This cleaning system can pick up and convey powders, plastic pellets, grain, sand, abrasives, aggregates, liquids, and numerous other bulk materials in clean-up and material transfer functions. It can be used to inject BHA® Neutralite® Conditioning Agent or BHA Visolite® Leak Detection Powder and also convert to a shop vacuum.

Upgrade the performance of your dust collector with STS filters, spiral formed tools. The unique spiral shape and non-stick surface of each SpiroTube provides the best possible dust collection and dust release with a low pressure drop. The filters are constructed using spun bonded polyester media laminated with an expanded PTFE membrane. The media is spiral wound into small diameter tubes and sonic welded to ensure airtight construction.

The filters provide lower emissions, offer better cleaning, and reduced differential pressures. We also offer spiral tube filters that meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations governing indirect contact with dry foodstuffs. The FDA uses the term “indirect food contact: for items such as filters.
