What is a jet-pulse filter?
A jet-pulse filter (baghouse) captures industrial dust on filter bags and cleans them automatically with bursts of compressed air. It delivers 99.9% efficiency with online cleaning that does not stop production.
Is a jet-pulse filter the same as a baghouse?
Baghouse is the family term; jet pulse is the most common automatic pulse-jet cleaning architecture in that family. Other baghouse types use reverse-air or shaker cleaning.
Which bag media should I choose?
Polyester for standard (≤135°C), polypropylene for acidic conditions, Nomex for high temperature (≤200°C), P-84 or PTFE membrane for hottest gases (≤260°C), anti-static media for combustible dust.
What is the capacity range?
DUCON KM series is modular from 1,000 m³/h up to 1,000,000 m³/h. Filtration area scales between 10 and 12,500 m².
What is the difference between polyester and Nomex bags?
Polyester ≤135°C, most economical, ideal for dry dust. Nomex ≤200°C, high-temperature resistance, preferred in cement clinker and metal processes. Cost difference is typically 3-5×.
When does the system clean itself?
When differential pressure reaches the set point (typically 100-150 mmH2O) solenoid valves auto-trigger pulse cleaning. Production never stops — one cell cleans while others continue filtering.
Is ATEX required for jet-pulse filters?
In processes with explosive dust (aluminum, magnesium, flour, sugar, organic) ATEX zone classification and compliant equipment are mandatory. DUCON KM series is optionally ATEX compliant.
How often are filter bags replaced?
2-4 years under standard conditions. Abrasive dust, high temperature, or chemical load can shorten to 1-2 years. Correct bag selection and A/C ratio directly affect life.
How much compressed air does it consume?
Pulse cleaning uses 6-7 bar compressed air. Typical consumption is 0.1-0.3 Nm³/min/m² of filter area; on-demand cleaning minimizes it.
Which industries use jet-pulse filters?
Cement, iron-steel, metallurgy, food, chemical, pharma, mining, glass, ceramic, waste incineration, wood, and plastic recycling — almost every industrial dust line.
Who is the jet-pulse filter manufacturer in Turkey?
MDSJ Process designs, manufactures, installs, and commissions jet-pulse baghouse filters (DUCON KM series) in Turkey under the DUCON brand (MDSJ owns the DUCON trademark rights for Europe, Asia, and Turkey). Active since 1986.
What emission limits are achievable?
With correct design and bag selection, emissions <10 mg/Nm³ are achievable. Safely meets EU and Turkey environmental limits (typically 20-50 mg/Nm³).
