💨 Baghouse Pulse-Jet + Screw Conveyor in the Hopper
Continuous Dust Collection With Automatic Dust Handling

A pulse-jet baghouse paired with a screw conveyor in the hopper is one of the most reliable systems for continuous industrial dust collection.
The pulse-jet system keeps the filter bags clean, while the screw conveyor automatically removes dust from the hopper, preventing buildup, bridging, and downtime.

This combination ensures stable airflow, consistent pressure drop, and fully automatic dust discharge — ideal for applications with steady or heavy dust loads.

⚙️ How the System Works
1️⃣ Dirty Air Enters the Baghouse

Dust-laden air enters the inlet section and slows down.
The heavier particles drop into the hopper before reaching the bags.

2️⃣ Filtration Through Bags

Fine dust collects on the outside of the filter bags as clean air passes through the fabric.
As the dust cake grows, filtration efficiency increases — until the pulse cycle begins.

3️⃣ Pulse-Jet Cleaning

When differential pressure rises:

A quick burst of compressed air shoots into a row of bags

Bags flex outward

Dust cake breaks off and falls directly into the hopper

This cleaning happens while the system is running, with no need to shut down.

🔄 Role of the Screw Conveyor in the Hopper

The screw conveyor sits along the bottom of the hopper and continuously moves the dust toward the discharge point.

It prevents:

Dust buildup

Hopper clogging

Bridging or rat-holing

Overloading the baghouse

Manual cleaning or shutdowns

It ensures:

Continuous, automatic dust removal

Reliable flow even for fine, fluffy, or abrasive dust

Stable hopper level

Zero manual intervention

At the end of the screw conveyor, the dust can exit through:

A rotary airlock

A slide gate

A drum adapter

A pneumatic conveying system

This keeps the baghouse sealed and maintains correct operating pressure.

🔧 Technical Highlights

Pulse-jet cleaning: diaphragm valves, solenoids, timer or ΔP control

Screw conveyor: heavy-duty shaft, trough, and drive motor sized for dust volume

Dust types: powders, fine particulate, abrasive dust, light materials

Construction: carbon steel, stainless steel, or abrasion-resistant materials

Hopper angle: typically 60° for free flow

Discharge: rotary valve or screw feeder for airtight removal

Operation: fully automatic, 24/7 duty

🏭 Ideal Applications

Cement and mineral dust

Metal grinding, cutting, and blasting

Foundry sand and furnace dust

Grain, flour, and food processing

Plastics, resin, and pelletizing operations

Chemical powder handling

Lime, fly ash, and silica dust

Any operation producing continuous dust benefits from the screw conveyor + pulse-jet baghouse combination.

🎯 Key Advantages

No hopper clogging even under heavy dust load

Automatic dust removal — eliminates manual cleaning

Stable pressure drop due to consistent pulse-jet cleaning

Improved uptime and lower labor cost

Efficient dust handling for fine and abrasive materials

Safe, enclosed discharge prevents fugitive emissions

🎤 Video Narration Summary

“A pulse-jet baghouse with a screw conveyor in the hopper keeps dust moving nonstop.
The pulse-jet system cleans the bags while the screw conveyor continuously carries dust to the discharge point. No buildup, no bridging, no shutdowns — just stable, reliable dust collection for 24/7 industrial operations.”
