BAG FILTERS (BAGHOUSES)

Bag Filters (baghouses) have been our core product for over 30 years. With our own proprietary technology, our Bag Filters
offer the highest particulate removal efficiency on the market, far exceeding the most stringent emissions regulations
worldwide. Our secret has been to constantly evolve with technology and search for improvements to provide our customers
with optimum air filtration solutions.

DESIGN & MODELLING
DESIGN PARAMETERS
Your process parameters are key in selecting an appropriate
Bag Filter design. Our engineering team has 30+ years of
experience in surveying the output and needs of various plants,
and will study yours to find an appropriate solution to reach
your desired emissions reductions.

To determine the appropriate filter size, we must study the air-

to-cloth ratio and can velocity. An appropriate air-to-cloth ratio
is required to avoid high-speed impact of dust particles against
the cloth, as this leads to early bag replacement.

To optimize the can velocity in the Bag Filter compartments,

the distance between bags in each row as well as between the
rows is calculated and defined for each specific case. These
considerations are also used to determine the most suitable
bag length and the number of compartments needed.

We develop the highest quality air

pollution control products available.
MODELLING
We use Ansys’s Fluent software to accurately design and
study every solution. This allows us to engineer and analyze
each system’s broad physical capabilities, optimize the fluid
dynamics and study the efficiency of pollutants removal.
When a computerized simulation is not sufficient, we undertake
a physical simulation on a 1:7 scale in our Milan workshop.

Redecam offers a comprehensive portfolio of air filtration,

flue gas treatment (FGT), gas conditioning and transportation,
handling & storage products. Please contact us to see how we
can take care of all your air pollution control needs.
