When should you actually consider putting a cyclone dust collector ahead of your baghouse?

Inputting a cyclone-dust collector in front of your baghouse is a big decision. We get it-- that's why our engineering team put together this checklist to help you determine whether your process could be improved with the implementation of a pre-filter.

Industrial Dust Control for Mobile Applications

Mobile industrial dust control equipment must balance performance with strict height, weight, and space constraints. We explore how compact cyclone dust collectors—especially horizontal GPC cyclones—can support mobile applications like construction, mining, agriculture, feed delivery, and field processing without requiring repositioning during transport.

Keeping Up With Process Changes In Your Dust Collection System

When any system process is changed, the dust collection system can be affected. Changes can be as simple as a difference in the material going through your process, or as complex as a new equipment installation. Regardless, change affects the ways that the dust collection system handles particulate, and can affect factors like size, concentration, and hazard risk. Pulling in an engineer to carry out a system evaluation is a great tool for handling changes with care.

Dust Collectors Need a Trickle Valve

When working with dust collectors, it's easy to focus only on the filters and the fan. But one small component can make or break the whole system's performance: what’s installed under the hopper. Choosing the right device to manage dust discharge…
