You need a baghouse that can increase finish mill throughput, not limit production. You want a filtration system that helps cut energy and maintenance costs, while reducing downtime and keeping emissions in check. 

Our holistic systems approach can deliver positive improvements for your cement operation that include:

• Dramatic increases in filter life by correct filter application and maximizing operational parameters
• Elimination of production bottlenecks
• Improved ambient dust control
• Significant increases in filter life and life predictability
• Energy consumption reduction via compressed air usage reduction and lowering of system pressure
• Outlet emissions reduction

Combining Parker's advanced emissions control technology with our proven application expertise in cement we understand which solutions will deliver the results you want in your unique operation. We have used ePTFE membrane when one or more of the following conditions exist:
• Submicron or sticky dust is present
• High humidity
• Frequent startup/shutdown
• The process has been altered from its original design configurations
• Operating conditions are not compatible with those specified during baghouse construction
• Production requirements have been increased
• Upset conditions occur in the process, resulting in excessive maintenance costs

Technology has evolved and there are alternatives to the conventional filtration media used in cement production facilities. Common challenges encountered across the cement industry include the need for increased process ventilation, higher filtration efficiency, and a reduction in downtime caused by filter bag failure. Filtration options for the process relevant areas of filtration in a cement plant are readily available to address these challenges. It is important to analyze each specific application and evaluate every option prior to making upgrades in filtration media or to fabric filter units.

Moving from traditional bag and cage filters to a pleated filter element reduce particulate matter emissions by as much as 40% helping your plant meet stringent emissions control regulations, while benefitting from improved production levels and lower operating costs. Lower pulse pressure and fewer pulses to clean reduces energy consumption to 8 million kWh per year in a typical cement plant.

We are the original manufacturer of BHA PulsePleats® and our innovation was created to ensure the upgrade from conventional filters required minimal retrofit to your existing baghouses.
