Dust Collector Engineering and Baghouse Design

Dust Collection Systems

BCE engineers dust collectors and baghouse systems for any application. We have engineered turnkey systems using baghouses, ESPs, and other dust collectors. BCE also offers standard lines of dust collector bag filters predesigned for competitive pricing and quick turn-around. BCE is also experienced in custom configured filter bags for any application.

Standard Pressure Ratings

  • ±20″ W.G. for flat-walled collectors
  • Up to 17″ Hg for round units

BCE Standard Fabric Filter Dust Collectors

C-Series

Cylindrical, 7 to 154 bags, up to ±17″ Hg design

S-Series

Square, 9 to 400 bags, ±20″ W.G. design

R9-Series

Rectangular, 126 to 234 bags, 9-bags deep, ±20″ W.G. design

R14-Series

Rectangular, 252 to 420 bags, 14-bags deep, ±20″ W.G. design

Custom Solutions: Where custom collectors are needed, BCE is fully capable to design, build and install everything from single units to entire systems, specific to your application. If high-pressure units are required, our engineers have decades of combined experience designing dust collectors to the ASME Code, Section VIII, Divisions 1 and 2. Call us to discuss your requirements.

Pleated Filters

For many applications where the dust is free-flowing and non-agglomerating, a collector with 6″ diameter pleated filters is an economical choice over a bag filter.

Advantages

  • Economical choice for certain applications
  • Large filter area per element
  • Significantly smaller housing size

Considerations

  • Operate at lower air-to-cloth ratio than bag filters
  • Best for free-flowing, non-agglomerating dust
  • 6″ diameter standard size

BCE Consultation: Call BCE and we will be happy to discuss whether a pleated filter is right for your application.

Cartridge Filters

Large cartridge filters are ideal for low-temperature applications with a small dust loading and large air volume.

Benefits

  • Large filter area per element
  • Compact unit size
  • Requires much less headroom than bag filters
  • Ideal for low-temperature applications

BCE Design

  • Downflow design promotes dust settling
  • Maximizes air-to-cloth ratio
  • Optimized for small dust loading, large air volume

Application Specific: As with pleated filters, cartridges provide a large filter area per element resulting in a compact unit, requiring much less headroom than a bag filter of comparable capacity.
