Baghouse for Wood Dust Extraction in the Production of Particleboard (PB) and Laminated Particleboard (LPB)

We have received a technical assignment for the acquisition of an aspiration system (outdoor version) for removing fine wood dust from equipment.
The required aspiration system should have the following parameters:
1. Minimum air flow rate of the dust collector: 8500 m³/hour.
2. Product discharge through a rotary valve feeder into the existing high-pressure pneumatic transport system.
3. Rotary valve feeder design - ensuring the transportation of waste under high pressure in the pressurization mode.
4. Emergency alarm in case of filter clogging.
5. Filter bag cleaning - impulse cleaning with compressed air.
6. Aspiration system control should be based on a Siemens PLC controller with network communication capabilities.

• The software part will be provided by the Client.
• The relay and power parts of the cabinets should be assembled using Siemens or Eaton components.
• The preferred sensor manufacturers are: Endress+Hauser, Pepperl+Fuchs (FA), IFM.

7. Fire protection valve should be provided for the intake air duct.
8. Return of purified air to the workshop with the installation of a winter-summer valve, explosion vent, and fire protection valve.
9. Residual dust content of the purified air should not exceed 0.1-0.3 mg/m³.
10. Residual dust monitoring.
11. Fire suppression system.
The aspiration system will be installed after the Densimetric Separator DS-2.0 (designed to separate the coarse fraction from wood dust). The extraction duct diameter is 300 mm.
The equipment will operate continuously 24 hours a day, with a stop for maintenance once a week.
The material to be processed is wood dust with a bulk density of 170-200 kg/m³ and a material moisture content of up to 3%. The volume of waste produced can reach up to 2 m³/hour.
Additionally, the client requested modifications to the baghouse to allow them to use their rotary valve feeder. The distance from the ground to the junction point of the rotary feeder and the bunker for the pneumatic transport system is 1100 mm.

Based on the client's technical requirements, we propose the following solutions:
BAGHOUSE BLIZZARD 10
The Baghouse Blizzard 10 is recommended, providing an airflow capacity of up to 10,000 m³/h, with polyester filter bags and an impulse cleaning system to efficiently handle fine dust.
✔ 24/7 OPERATION
Designed for continuous operation with weekly maintenance, the system includes an emergency alarm for filter clogging.
✔ PNEUMATIC TRANSPORT INTEGRATION
A rotary valve feeder will integrate seamlessly with the existing high-pressure pneumatic transport system, per the client’s request.
✔ DUST FILTRATION & MONITORING
The system ensures a residual dust concentration of 0.1-0.3 mg/m³ and includes dust monitoring via a sampling hatch.
✔ FIRE SAFETY
The system includes explosion vents, fire protection valves, and a fire extinguishing system for safety.
✔ ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTABILITY
Suitable for outdoor operation with a temperature range of +30°C to -25°C.
✔ WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste is directed to a dust collection bin for proper disposal or reuse.
✔ ADVANCED CONTROL
Controlled by a Siemens PLC controller, with network communication and components from Siemens or Eaton for reliability.
✔ CUSTOM MODIFICATIONS
Modifications will be made to accommodate the client’s existing rotary valve feeder with a connection height of 1100 mm.

These solutions will ensure efficient, safe, and environmentally-friendly operation while meeting all client requirements. The baghouse has been successfully operating at our client's facility since 2020, with no complaints. After this project, the client became a regular customer and has purchased other models of dust collectors from us multiple times.
