Application

Most industrial processes generate dust. This

dust may profitably be removed for pollution
abatement and material recovery purposes.
FLS Insertable Jet Pulse Filters are bag filters in
which the dust-laden air enters through the
base, and is evenly distributed between the
filter bags. The dust is deposited on the out-
side of the needle-felt bags, while the air passes
through the felt into the clean air chamber at
the top of the casing before release into the
atmosphere. Cleaning takes place by the in-
jection of an ultrashort burst of compressed air
into the bags.
The dust dislodged from the outside of the bags
falls direct into a silo or into the conveyor on
which the filter is mounted, and is then returned
to the production process.
The air jet cleans each row of bags in turn. The
burst is triggered by the electronic timer at fixed
intervals, adjustable between 1 and 120 sec.
Design and operation

The filter module comprises 6 rows each with 6
or 9 cylindrical bags mounted on wire cages
1.5 m long and 120 mm in diameter. The filtra-
tion surface is thus 0.55 M2 per bag.
Dedusting capacity is 90-180 m3/h per m2 of
filtration surface according to dust type and
operating conditions. The filter can operate at
air temperatures up to 80 oC with a direct-
mounted fan, or up to 200oC with special bags
and separate fan.
Furthermore, effective dust filtration averts shut-
downs, while the reduction in industrial pollution
should be considered in each case.
The type designation is IN (Insertable) or INF
(Insertable with direct-mounted FLS Fan CQF
40/40) followed by the digits 36 or 54,
indicating the number of filter bags per unit.

FLS Insertable Jet Pulse Filters may be installed

horizontally or vertically. The bags can easily
be replaced without the use of tools.

 Dimensioning

Example:
A material conveyor to be dedusted at an air
temperature below 80oC at a rate of 75 m3/min.

Solution:
FLS insertable Jet Pulse Filter Type INF 54 is
recommended.

The CQF 40/40 fan will work at an efficiency of

0.75 with a total pressure of 180 rnrn WG and
with a power consumption of 3.2 kW.

For temperatures between 80oC and 200oC,

an FLS Insertable Jet Pulse Filter, Type IN 54
with special bags and separate fan is
recom- mended.
