Baghouse Dust Collection

Precision Discharge for Filtration Integrity

In modern industrial plants, dust collection systems are not auxiliary equipment, they are regulatory, operational, and safety-critical systems. Baghouse filtration efficiency depends on one fundamental principle: maintaining controlled pressure isolation at the discharge point.

The Rotary Air Lock installed beneath a bag filter hopper is not simply a discharge device. It is the pressure barrier that protects filtration performance.

Oswar Rotocorp Rotary Air Locks are engineered to preserve pressure stability, prevent reverse air ingress, and ensure continuous dust evacuation under demanding plant conditions.

Operating Challenges

What Makes This Zone Demanding

Why Discharge Sealing Matters in a Baghouse

  • Bag filters operate under carefully controlled negative pressure conditions
  • When discharge sealing fails, reverse air flow enters the hopper
  • Pressure balance is disturbed causing dust re-entrainment
  • Filtration efficiency drops and emissions rise
  • Even minor leakage can compromise the entire filtration system

The Engineering Challenge

  • Ultra-fine particles and high-temperature dust (cement, steel, power)
  • Abrasive fly ash with continuous duty cycles
  • Pulsation from pulse-jet cleaning systems
  • Hopper build-up increases when discharge is unstable
  • Filter bags blind prematurely and fan energy consumption rises
Our Engineering Approach

How Oswar Rotocorp Solves It

01

Prevent Reverse Air Flow

  • Optimized rotor-to-body clearance prevents air infiltration
  • Enhanced sealing at end covers isolates pressure zones
  • Controlled pocket discharge maintains filtration environment
  • Pressure isolation integrity protects baghouse negative pressure
02

Maintain Bag Filter Efficiency

  • Stable hopper emptying prevents dust accumulation
  • Reduced dust re-entrainment extends filter bag life
  • Consistent filtration cycles maintain designed airflow parameters
  • Prevents air bypass that compromises filtration design performance
03

Support Regulatory Compliance

  • Controls dust containment to meet emission control norms
  • Supports Pollution Control Board standards
  • Meets ISO environmental management requirements
  • Filtration performance is directly linked to discharge valve integrity
