The dirty air enters the filter body (
1
), where dust is separated by the filter elements (
8
).
The compressed air pulse-jet cleaning system (
3+4+5
) removes the dust collected by the filter elements; then,
the dust drops back inside the silo.
3.4 Permitted use
3.5 Improper use not permitted
The
SILOTOP
®
zero
venting filters have the function of separating dust particles conveyed by an air flow or
gas, using filtering elements made of non-woven polyester.
The dusty air flow crosses the filter, which stops the dust particles, allowing the air to flow over it.
The dust collected on the filter elements surface is periodically removed by the cleaning system that can be of
the compressed air jet type.
Every other use must be considered improper, therefore not permitted.
The equipment must not be used as an element for discharging overpressure inside closed volumes. One or
more safety valves must always be provided in the plant to keep the pressure level within the filter pressure
resistance limits.
The air flow handled by the dust collector must never exceed the value defined in the order phase.
Using the dust collector when the components (filter elements, cleaning system, fan, if present, etc.) are not in
perfect conditions can cause harm to persons and to the environment.
Do not operate the filter unless the plant or the equipment in which it was incorporated is declared compliant
to the requirements of relevant national and local provisions in force.
It is forbidden to use the dust collector in potentially inflammable or explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
It is forbidden to use the filter for inflammable (magnesium powder, etc.) or explosive products.
It is forbidden to use the filter for products which can cause bacteriological contamination.
