The ATEX bag filter GIC-M is equipped with certified fire proof membrane rupture, it is manufactured in a size suited to explosive class of the kind of dust to be treated. A suppression system of explosions is installed in combination with the air cleaning filter .
The subdivision is necessary in order to avoid explosion in other parts of the plant or environment. It must always be combined with a suppression system. The compartmentalization system can be mechanical , with guillotine valve or chemical.
Dusty air is fed into the bottom of the filter through the by-pass inlet. Coarse dust contained in the air extracted are subdued to first treatment and drop into the collection hopper.
Passing the quiet chamber dust goes through the filter bags. During its operation , the ATEX bag filter is kept in perfect order through a cyclic cleaning system. A jet of compressed air, accumulated in a special tank, is quickly injected inside the sleeves, creating a violent wave of shaking in countercurrent able to detach and to precipitate the particles deposited on the outside of the sleeves. The rotary valve will unload dust.
