Dust Collector Engineering and Baghouse Design

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 turnaround. BCE is also experienced in custom-configured filter bags for any application.

Custom Solutions: Where custom collectors are needed, BCE is fully capable of designing, building, and installing 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.

Alternative Filter Technologies

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.

  • Operate at lower air-to-cloth ratio than bag filters
  • Large filter area per element typically results in significantly smaller housing size
  • Economical solution for appropriate applications

Cartridge Filters

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

  • Provide a large filter area per element, resulting in a compact unit
  • Require much less headroom than a bag filter of comparable capacity
  • BCE uses a downflow design to promote dust settling and maximize air-to-cloth ratio
