An Informed Decision: Asking the Right Questions About Cartridge Dust Collection

In recent years, cartridge‐style dust collectors have become the preferred technology for industrial dust collection in processing industries, replacing the traditional baghouses. Combining high efficiency filtration, compact size, and reduced pressure drop; cartridge dust collector will be the system of choice in most cases.

Cartridge dust collectors are not “one size fits all”. Choosing the best system for a given application involves research and attention to detail in several key areas:

1. Will the dust collector comply with emission requirements?

2. Do I have a combustible dust issue?

3. Will the dust collector fix the problem?

4. Will the dust collector perform reliably?

5. Is the collector optimally equipped for safety?

6. Will it provide the best possible return on investment (ROI)?

Being armed with this information and knowing the questions to ask an equipment supplier, processing professionals will be better equipped to make an informed decision on a dust collector purchase. Learn more in depth information on these key areas here.
