A sleeve filter is a compressed air dust cleaner.
It is used in many industrial sectors such as footwear, textiles, mechanical engineering, chemicals, paints, tyres and generally in industries where air suction and purification are required, with average grain size dust. The filter is designed to work in depression.
The filter consists of an upper inlet, a central filtering section and a bottom collection part; the scrubbing system is located inside the upper body.
The dusty air is sucked through the channels and sent to the bottom (hopper) of the filter or when specifically required into a settling pre-chamber; due to the abrupt reduction in speed, the heavier particles settle while the others are deposited along the cartridges. The filtered air is then expelled into the atmosphere after the pollutants have been removed.
The sleeves are cleaned using a jet of compressed air, controlled by an electronic control unit (cyclic programmer) that automatically activates the solenoid controlled valves, thus ensuring that the sleeves function at maximum efficiency at all times.
