PBC - Pleated Bag Cartridges

Environmental concerns are causing regulatory authorities to continually review and tighten their emission control requirements.

The cloth area in a collector can be increased by up to 3 times simply by changing over to Pleated Bag Cartridges.

PBC cartridges are designed to retrofit most commonly available baghouses and cell plate openings, replacing both the filter sock and the cage with a single pleated cartridge.

This effectively reduces the air to cloth ratio allowing an inexpensive upgrade of an existing collector to cope with extra production and more efficient media to reduce emissions.

PBC cartridges are described by the cell plate opening by the length [eg. 135mm CPO x 1 metre] .The standard pleat depth is 15mm but other options are available. The number of pleats normally in a PBC is 52 but other pleat numbers can be specified.

The cloth area in a 2 metre PBC is 3.12 m2, this compares to a 10ft standard cloth bag of 1.2 m2.

The top of the PBC has been designed to give an airtight seal and is held in place with a retaining cone for security. The top is moulded around the media in a single piece of Urethane. This top is for applications up to 80°C, other options are available in higher temperatures and in food grade for a variety of applications.

Advantages of a collector fitted with PBC cartridges:

• Increase cloth area by up to 3 times
• Reduce your emissions to comply with EPA requirements
• Increase the life of filters and save money
• Reduce your emissions to comply with EPA requirements
• Reduce the pressure drop in the collector, giving greater throughput and lower production costs
• Lower operating costs due to less air requirement, therefore cheaper electricity cost to run the blowers.
