Sand/Aggregate Plant
Dust Collection: Case Study
Baghouse Conversion
Industry: Sand Product Manufacturing: road base, pea gravel, playground sand and more
The Problem/Solution: Our customer was experiencing a large quantity of dust pollution while moving sand through rock crusher and vibrating screens. We converted their shaker style dust collector to a more efficient pulse jet baghouse which reduced dust emissions during sand processing and improved factory air quality and production. Converting to the new pulse jet technology offered significant cost savings for the customer over a new dust collector install which would have required a complete overhaul to the dust collector infrastructure.

Installation Date: 1997
Type of Pollutant: Silica Dust
Airflow: 38,000 CFM Dust Collector
Capture Method: Source Capture Method: Hoods
