How it works

Down-flow filtration, cleaned by reverse air

Air flows through the filter from top to bottom. Dirty gas enters through the inlet hood, where baffle plates slow solid particles and distribute the dust load evenly along the full filter length.

Dirty gas enters and slows
Gas enters through the dirty gas hood. Baffle plates reduce particle speed and ensure even distribution of the dust load across the filter.
Down-flow through the bags
Gas flows down through horizontally arranged filter bags to the clean gas side, where dust is held back by the filter media and forms a filter cake.
Reverse air cleaning cycle
A cleaning carriage moves from row to row. Above the cleaning air radial fan, a valve pulses air through a telescopic pipe, inflating each bag and reversing the flow to release the dust cake — without compressed air.
Dust discharge
Dust is discharged from the hopper and screw conveyor by a rotary valve. Conveying systems or big-bags can be connected below the rotary valve.

Offline Effect

No carryover onto neighboring rows

Dust cake carryover from adjacent bag rows is prevented because neighboring rows stay offline while one row is being cleaned — protecting freshly cleaned bags from re-caking.

Why should you choose the FS

Flat Bag Filter
Dust Collector

The FS series dust collector with horizontally installed flat bag filters is a compact and efficient filter system with intelligent air cleaning technology. This system is ideal for high dust loads of finer dust particles and high gas temperatures. It is easy to install and transport to site, typically in a single container-sized flatbed delivery.

For industrial plant operators such as foundries, smelters, asphalt production and many others, the FS flat bag dust collector provides pollution control in a compact and easy-to-install package.

Common things to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about the FS flat bag filter

How does the FS flat bag filter clean its bags without compressed air?

The FS filter uses reverse air cleaning. A cleaning carriage moves along the filter row by row, and a radial fan pulses low-pressure air backwards through each bag via a telescopic pipe, gently inflating it to release the dust cake — no compressed air needed at any stage.

Loading component...

What temperatures and dust types can the FS filter handle?

The FS flat bag filter can withstand gas temperatures up to 250°C and is particularly suited to very fine dusts, metal vapors and harmful gases, as well as high dust loads.

Loading component...

How much space does the FS filter save compared to a typical baghouse?

The FS flat bag filter's high air-to-cloth ratio and horizontal bag arrangement can save up to 40% of the installation footprint compared to a typical pulse-jet baghouse.

Loading component...

Can the FS filter be monitored remotely?

Yes. The FS filter supports IoT connectivity for remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet, performance optimisation, and real-time notification of issues, using sensors on both the raw and clean gas sides.

Loading component...

Which industries use the FS flat bag filter?

FS filters are installed across foundries, steel mills, nonferrous metals processing, asphalt production, galvanizing plants and glass manufacturing, among other industrial sectors.

Loading component...

How is the FS filter delivered and installed?

The filter housing and cleaning system arrive completely pre-assembled, typically as a single container-sized flatbed delivery, which simplifies transport and speeds up on-site installation.
