Flow-dynamic dust separation

Filtrabit’s patented innovation is based on flow dynamics. The technology enables industrial clients to reduce their PM2.5 emissions to meet strict regulation and health standards.

The modular units are serially manufactured and portable, allowing for exact tailoring and retrofitting of capacity without the need for building permits. Installation can be done in one day when the necessary ducting is in place.

Instead of traditional baghouse technology, that is vulnerable to clogging and tearing, Filtrabit’s solution is built from steel capable of handling hot temperatures. It can be operated continuously, with practically no need for maintenance. Product versions suitable even for extreme temperatures will be available in the future.

Watch the video below for a quick conceptual view of the technology.

Material efficiency

Separated material

Is recovered in a continuous stream and ready for immediate reuse.

Environmental benefits

From reduced need for mining, processing and transporting virgin resources.

Economic benefits

From recapturing valuable raw materials otherwise wasted.

Modular design

  • Superior logistics and installation speed: the unit itself can be connected in a day when ducting is complete.
  • Flexible placement: no building permit required. Industrially manufactured, serially produced.
  • More units can be installed parallel for just the right capacity.
Filtrabit units are modular, making capacity easy to scale.
Filtrabit's solution includes the capability of smart sensors.

Smart solution

  • The device can be fitted with numerous sensors according to the customer’s specific data needs.
  • This data can be used to monitor changes to the production process, helping detect abnormalities and identify maintenance needs.

Industries

Flow-dynamic dust separation is the new standard for industries that generate heavy, dry and fine dust. Operations that include crushing, sieving and transporting such materials on conveyor belts are particularly great beneficiaries of the technology.

Examples of customers include steel mills, foundries, quarries, mining and ore processing operations.

Steel production

Steel plants include numerous sources of dust, such as furnace dust and storage yard dust from handling raw materials and slag. Coking, sintering and pelletizing plants are prime examples of dust generating sites where flow-dynamic dust separation can provide order-of-magnitude level improvements.

Foundries

Sand handling, mold crushing and surface treatment of the molded components are common problem areas for dust control in foundries. Flow-dynamic dust separation can make a substantial difference in the working conditions and environmental impact of these facilities.

Mining and ore processing

Production of non-ferrous metals like copper and zinc also includes many operations that generate heavy dust. Handling of the ore and other raw materials requires crushing, sieving and conveying at various points.

Quarrying

Crushing and sieving are common operations and culprits for fugitive dust in quarries. Vulnerable conveyor transfer points are also ubiquitous.
