Dust Collection: Filter Receivers

Filter Receivers are used in Pneumatic Conveying Systems as the final element to prevent any dust carry-over to the environment. The bag cleaning is done by an electronically controlled valve with timer. Filter Receivers are floor mounted with a suitable integral collection hopper and a discharge valve. Available in different sizes and material of construction depending on applications. Scorpio can manufacture top loading, bottom loading and side loading of the filter elements to suit critical site requirements. The dust particles down to 0.3 micron can be filtered by a special filter element

Scorpio undertakes total de-dusting systems on a turnkey basis, including application engineering, design, engineering, supply, erection and commissioning.

✅ Design and selection of duct velocity, duct sizing, dampers, bag filter capacity, filtration media and fan specification for the material being handled, based on experience and standard norms. Temperature rating up to 135 °C.

✅ Standalone dust collectors for smaller capacities and modular dust collectors for larger capacities, in IS2062 and stainless steel construction. Built-in supports and maintenance platforms are provided in IS2062 construction.

✅ The bag filter handles dust loads up to 50 g/Nm³ with a guaranteed emission level of 10 mg/Nm³, and can handle very fine, light dust with a density below 100 kg/m³ at low pressure.

✅ Filter media is selected for the dust being handled and its moisture and vapour content.

✅ Filter lengths from 1,000 mm to 3,000 mm depending on the dust collector configuration, lasting up to 5 years. Scorpio dust collectors are online pulse jet cleaned with an adjustable sequential timer. Filter media: polyester, polypropylene, acrylic or PTFE-coated, with oil/water-repellent, anti-static and other surface treatments.

✅ Rotary airlocks with adjustable vane tips discharge the dust and are designed to operate under higher vacuum. Screw dischargers are used on high-capacity dust collectors.

✅ The dust collection system has its own control panel with a suitable starter.

 

FAQ

1: What is a dust collection and filter receiver system?
Dust collection and filter receiver systems capture airborne particles during bulk material handling, ensuring clean air, worker safety, and compliance with regulations.

2: Why is dust collection important in bulk material handling?
Proper dust collection prevents environmental contamination, reduces health hazards for workers, improves air quality, and protects equipment from dust buildup.

3: What materials generate dust that requires filtration?
Materials like cement, powders, grains, chemicals, minerals, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals often generate dust during conveying, mixing, or processing.

4: How do filter receivers work in pneumatic conveying systems?
Filter receivers separate conveyed material from the conveying air stream, allowing the air to exit while the material continues through the process.

5: Can Scorpio BMH customize dust collection and filter receiver systems?
Yes, Scorpio BMH designs tailored solutions based on material characteristics, system capacity, process layout, and dust control requirements.

6: What industries require dust collection systems?
Industries include cement, food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, power plants, and mineral processing — any application with airborne particulate.

7: How often should dust collection filters be maintained?
Filter maintenance depends on operating conditions, but regular inspections and cleaning help maintain efficiency and prevent system blockages.

8: Can dust collection systems be integrated into existing plants?
Yes, Scorpio BMH offers retrofitting and integration solutions to incorporate dust collection and filtration into existing bulk material handling systems.
