Baghouse
AirPro engineers designed this custom baghouse fan for a Mississippi River barge that unloads corn and soybeans. This fan connects to a larger zipper duct that moves down the barge. Featuring a 54.2” diameter backward curved wheel, the fan is direct drive with an arrangement 8 configuration and includes a pie-split housing for easy maintenance access to the wheel/shaft.
Fan Efficiency for Dust Collectors
Industrial fans have a special job to do when used in a dust collection application. They need to get the dust-laden air past the filters in the dust collector baghouse. The system pressure varies based on how “dirty” the filters are, and you can adjust the fan speed accordingly. Properly adjusting the speed can reduce your overall power consumption, but that depends on whether or not you place the pressure gauge in the right spot.
