BAGHOUSE CLEANING CONTROLS

FOR PULSE-JET SYSTEMS

 

To get maximum effect from baghouse performance monitoring, you need a control system that gives you more control than the standard timer card.  B3 Systems offers a PLC-based baghouse controller that offers flexibility so that you can optimize your control.  The optimum cleaning setup saves compressed air and extends bag life.

 

 

We give you a user interface that allows you to adjust all of the parameters that affect bag cleaning.  This can be an HMI panel mounted near the baghouse, or a program that runs on your laptop that you use when you need it.  The control screen lets you:

 

 

 

 

Most pressure drop control systems don’t start cleaning until you reach your upper limit for pressure drop, and then they clean continuously until the pressure drop reaches a lower limit.  This approach leads to swings in your pressure drop and flow rate.  A baghouse runs much more efficiently if the swings in pressure drop can be avoided.  Our control system monitors the pressure drop continuously and adjusts the cleaning frequency to maintain an ideal pressure drop.  When more particulate is present, the bags are cleaned more often.  When less is present, the bags are cleaned less frequently.

 

 

 

 

By tying the cleaning control information to the leak detection system, rows of bags that are causing problems can be identified by tying leak detector alarms to the bag that is in the cleaning mode.  This also provides an early indication of problems so that repairs can be conducted during scheduled outages.
