Selecting the right filter media for your industrial applications
Dust collection systems are an important part of any manufacturing process, so they need to be sized and designed properly. One critical design component is specifying the proper filtration media, which requires analysis of the dust in the process and all operating conditions.
Your dust collector is only as strong as its filter cartridges, which makes filter selection vital. Filter elements need to use the type of media that is appropriate for your specific application and dust. For example, your application may require media treated with coatings that promote dust release, flame retardance or conductivity.
Using the wrong media can put workers at risk or cause high pressure drop and energy costs. Inefficient filtration also can lead to dust deposits creating a risk in event of an explosion. Using the correct media creates a safer, cleaner work environment with less dust collector maintenance.
Five factors you should take into consideration about your dust and process:
  • Particle characteristics
  • Particle size
  • Combustibility & static electricity
  • Moisture level
  • Operating temperature
Filter media types
Cellulose/Paper and Spunbond/Synthetic are the two basic filter media types most commonly used for our filter elements.
The base material of Hebei Lianrun Auto Parts Co., Ltd.´s standard filter elements is a proprietary fibre blend of cellulose and paper, what maximises dust holding capacity and promote dust release when pulse cleaned. Hebei Lianrun Auto Parts Co., Ltd.´s medias are developed to provide the lowest pressure drop, longest service life and highest filtration efficiencies. The media can be treated to provide different properties which allows the handling of various dust types from different industrial processes.
Cellulose/Paper
Hebei Lianrun Auto Parts Co., Ltd.´s filter media is made of 100% spunbonded polyester in a pleated design that combines the best of both worlds: the high efficiency of pleated media and the versatility of synthetic materials. Filter cartridges with Hebei Lianrun Auto Parts Co., Ltd. technology capture and release more pollutants when pulse-cleaned, resulting in a safer, cleaner work environment with less maintenance and provide lowest pressure drop. The base polyester media is treated to provide various properties such as anti-static, oil & water repellent or to handle sticky dusts.
