Foundries
Capture dust from sand handling, shakeout and other foundry operations with a configuration matched to the dust and gas temperature.
The EHRBT is a modular bag filter dust collector with vertical round filter bags, automatic pulse-jet cleaning and flexible layouts for industrial dust collection projects.

Two 7US project photos show the collector before filter installation and after installation on site. Circular filter mounting openings sit within the modular housing; the completed unit includes a hopper, access ladder and connected ductwork. The arrangement is configured for each project.


Follow the airflow and cleaning path through the illustrated collector. Numbered callouts identify the principal components of this configuration.

Dust-laden air enters at the lower inlet (7) and moves through the collector toward the round filter bags (5).
Air passes through the filter media while dust is retained on the bag surfaces. Filtered air is directed to the clean-air outlet (10).
Pulse valves (3) release compressed air from the air header (4) to clean the bags. Dislodged dust falls into the hopper (11) and exits through the discharge valve (8).
The inspection door (1) provides access to the upper section. The safety railing (2) and access ladder (9) support routine inspection of this illustrated configuration.
Round filter bags are supported by wire cages and fitted into the openings of the tube sheet. The bag, cage and mounting details are selected to suit the collector and the operating conditions.

Dust is retained on the outside of the filter fabric as air passes through the bags. The media is chosen for the actual dust, operating temperature and process conditions.
A wire cage supports each bag and helps it maintain its shape during filtration and pulse cleaning. Cage length and diameter must match the selected bag and the collector layout.
The photo shows the bag openings arranged across the tube sheet. The bag connection and cage fit are checked against the opening size so the filter assemblies seat correctly.
Technicians position each bag and its support cage from the clean-air side. The white fabric bags and the upright cages in the photo show different stages of installation.
Round bags and cages need clear access above the tube sheet for installation and later replacement. The required maintenance space depends on the bag length and the project arrangement.
Start with the dust and operating conditions, then choose the filter media and design air-to-cloth ratio. Calculate the required filter area from the project airflow before deciding how many base modules fit the available site space.
Confirm dust properties, loading, temperature and process conditions before selecting the filter media.
Use the required airflow and the selected design filtration velocity to establish the required filter area.
Compare bag length, module count, site dimensions and overhead space for bag replacement.
Standard bag diameter: Ø155 mm
| Bag size | Bags | Nominal filter area |
|---|---|---|
| Ø155 × 2.0 m | 54 | 52.6 m² |
| Ø155 × 2.2 m | 54 | 57.8 m² |
| Ø155 × 3.0 m | 54 | 78.9 m² |
Standard bag diameter: Ø155 mm
| Bag size | Bags | Nominal filter area |
|---|---|---|
| Ø155 × 2.0 m | 81 | 78.9 m² |
| Ø155 × 2.2 m | 81 | 86.8 m² |
| Ø155 × 3.0 m | 81 | 118.3 m² |
Nominal area is the cylindrical bag side area: π × bag diameter × bag length × bag count. These values are reference geometry, not a guaranteed effective area or airflow rating; final selection depends on bag construction, media and operating conditions.
Other bag diameters and lengths up to 8 m can be evaluated for project-specific designs. Such sizes are outside the standard table and require confirmation of the collector layout, cleaning system and installation and replacement clearance.
For a quick preliminary estimate, use one 81-bag module with Ø155 × 3.0 m bags as the reference building block. Combine modules to increase the nominal filter area while checking the project layout and maintenance clearances.
| Modules | Bags | Nominal area | Reference airflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 81 | 118.3 m² | 10,000 m³/h |
| 2 | 162 | 236.7 m² | 20,000 m³/h |
| 3 | 243 | 355.0 m² | 30,000 m³/h |
| 4 | 324 | 473.3 m² | 40,000 m³/h |
| 5 | 405 | 591.6 m² | 50,000 m³/h |
| Modules | Bags | Nominal area | Reference airflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 486 | 710.0 m² | 60,000 m³/h |
| 7 | 567 | 828.3 m² | 70,000 m³/h |
| 8 | 648 | 946.6 m² | 80,000 m³/h |
| 9 | 729 | 1,065.0 m² | 90,000 m³/h |
| 10 | 810 | 1,183.3 m² | 100,000 m³/h |
Airflow figures are proportional reference values for a preliminary comparison, not fixed ratings. Select filter media and design filtration velocity for the actual dust and operating conditions before confirming the effective area, module count, fan and final airflow. The ten rows are examples and do not define a maximum number of modules.
