Factories operating with cement encounter such a problem as cement dusting. Cement dust is a powder that crumbles badly and may cause irritation in the airway mucosa. If it gets on the skin, it can cause dermatosis, ulcers, and eczemas. Thus, cement dust waste must be kept to a minimum.
Entry Data and the Task the Client Presented to Us
Our client produces wall blocks and barriers out of a ceramic-concrete mixture. One of the materials used at the production site is cement. The cement is stored in a silo. In this case, our client had a silo capacity of 50 tons. And when the cement truck loads the cement into the silo using an air transport (compressor), the formation of excess air occurs in the silo bank. The air is extracted out of there via a special hatch. But if there is no such silo filter, cement dust will exit into the environment along with the air.
Selecting Filtration Equipment from Torch-Air
To solve the cement dusting problem, we proposed to our client the Breeze cartridge filter with a filtration element pulse jet system. For the silo with a 50-ton capacity, our technologists selected optimal performance of up to 2650 cfm for the filter. The silo filter has three cartridges with a total filtration surface of 400 ft². Breeze filter is responsible for cleaning air entering the cement silo from the outside.
Furthermore, we proposed that our client install an emergency valve. In the event of emergency pressure increase, there can be deformation of the hopper frame inside the silo. In order to prevent that, air is ejected with the help of an emergency valve.

Benefits of BREEZE Silo Filter
1. Straightforward use and easy installation. For instance, replacing the filtration elements doesn’t require any kind of tool.
2. Minimal operation cost.
3. We producers propose an optimal characteristics to price ratio.
4. An automatic air cleaning system is installed in the filters with the ability to regulate the time of the cleaning pulses and the duration of the pauses in between pulses.

BREEZE Silo Filter Operation System
Dust-laden air rises from the hopper (silo) into the filter. The air passes through filtration cartridges and the dust is left on the exterior of the filtration cartridge while the clean air exits outside. The cartridge is periodically cleaned by a compressed air impulse: the valves are opened and air enters the pneumatic tube, which cleans the entire surface of the cartridge.
Thus, we helped rid the wall block and barrier production site of cement waste into the environment. This client has since become a regular client of ours.
