Scorpio’s Bin Vent Filters 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. Bin Vent Filters can be mounted on bins and silos where there are no headroom restrictions. Available in different sizes and materials of construction depending on application.
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.

A bin vent filter sits on top of a bin or silo and is the last element of a pneumatic conveying system: it lets the conveying air out while keeping the dust in. For dust extraction across a whole plant, see dust collection and central vacuum cleaning.
It vents the conveying air from a bin or silo during filling and stops dust from escaping to the atmosphere. In a pneumatic conveying system it is the final element before the air leaves the plant.
By sequential reverse pulse jet cleaning. Electronically controlled valves on a timer send short pulses of compressed air through the bags in turn, knocking the collected dust back into the bin.
Fine dust from 0.3 micron upwards, with a special filter element. Outlet dust emission is 10 to 15 ppm.
Standard sizes cover 3 to 100 m² of filter cloth, in MS construction with SS contact parts.
Yes. Scorpio builds bin vent filters with top, bottom or side loading of the filter elements, so bags can be changed from the side where there is no room above the filter.
