What is a reverse air cleaned Baghouse?
Baghouse: An air pollution control device used to collect dusts and other particles from dirty air produced in nearly all industrial processes. The air enters the baghouse, and then is forced through a filter, leaving behind all of the particles/dusts/contaminates, and then it is exhausted to the open atmosphere.
What is a Reverse Air Baghouse? After a certain amount of time the filters become dirty, and need to be cleaned. The different ways the filters are cleaned is the only major difference between the main types of baghouses. In a Reverse Air Baghouse, the bags are cleaned by changing the vacuum pulling air through the bags, into one that forces the air pressure inside the baghouse to increase, causing the bags to partially collapse on themselves. This causes the built up dust to crack and fall off the bags into the hopper on the bottom of the baghouse.
