Discover the efficiency, safety, and low-maintenance benefits of the 304 stainless steel cylindrical baghouse filter, specifically adapted for the pneumatic conveying of plastic materials.
The challenge: high-pressure resistance and safety in enclosed environments
Cylindrical stainless steel baghouse filters are widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries due to their high filtration efficiency and resistance to demanding operating conditions.
In the plastic manufacturing industry, where pneumatic conveying is a standard method for transporting plastic pellets and powders, these filters provide a reliable and safe solution. One of our customers faced a specific challenge: extracting fine dust generated by the drying of synthetic plastic fabrics. Traditional filtration systems proved ineffective, exposing pressure management issues, particle accumulation, and safety risks for the entire plant.
Our stainless-steel cylindrical filter, ATEX-certified, provided the necessary robustness and adaptability to ensure continuous operation, a safe plant environment, and reduced downtime for maintenance.
The critical issues: high vacuum levels, dust accumulation, and explosion risk
Following the analysis carried out by our technicians, the following critical issues emerged, compromising both the efficiency of the industrial filtration system and the safety of the operating environment:
- Negative pressure exceeding 20,000 Pa – Traditional filters, typically with a polygonal shape, tend to deform or even collapse under strong vacuum conditions, jeopardizing the entire system’s performance.
- Fine dust accumulation – The internal structure of conventional filters promotes dust build-up in corners, leading to more frequent cleaning and maintenance operations.
- Explosion risk – When handling potentially explosive dusts, it is essential to adopt solutions that comply with ATEX regulations to ensure operational safety and prevent accidents.
The solution: cylindrical ATEX stainless steel filter with flameless venting system
To address these challenges, Tama Aernova has engineered a cylindrical ATEX-certified stainless steel filter with a flameless venting system, specifically designed for the pneumatic conveying of plastic materials.
Cylindrical structure for resistance to high vacuum levels
Thanks to its cylindrical geometry, the filter ensures uniform pressure distribution, eliminating critical stress points and preventing deformation or collapse. This design optimizes airflow dynamics, reduces turbulence, and improves the separation efficiency of fine dust and plastic particles.
This type of configuration is ideal for plastic processing industries that require:
- Durable industrial dust collectors
- ATEX-compliant filtration systems
- flameless explosion protection
- High vacuum pneumatic conveying filtration
With its robust stainless-steel body, the filter offers high mechanical resistance, reduced maintenance needs, and compliance with strict safety standards, even in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Cyclonic Filtration for Reduced Maintenance
The cyclonic effect leverages air dynamics to separate heavier particles before they reach the filtering media. This pre-separation significantly reduces dust load on the filter elements, decreasing maintenance frequency and minimizing system downtime.
Flameless System for Enhanced Safety
Equipped with an ATEX-certified flameless venting system, the filter prevents flame propagation in the event of an explosion. This allows safe installation in indoor environments with appropriate room volume and external vents, while complying with a 1.5-meter Safe Area around the flameless units. The result: improved operational safety and fewer installation constraints.
304 Stainless Steel for Durability and Industrial Compliance
The use of 304 stainless steel ensures high corrosion resistance and compliance with strict hygienic and industrial standards, extending the lifespan of the filtration system and ensuring long-term reliability.
