Baghouse dust collectors are a type of fabric filter air-material separator employed for particulate removal from manufacturing and other industrial operations to keep dust and solid particulates from entering the workplace or being released to the atmosphere.
A baghouse, also known as a baghouse filter, bag filter, or fabric filter is an air pollution control device and dust collector that removes particulates or gas released from commercial processes out of the air.[1] Power plants, steel mills, pharmaceutical producers, food manufacturers, chemical producers and other industrial companies often use baghouses to control emission of air pollutants.[2] Baghouses came into widespread use in the late 1970s after the invention of high-temperature fabrics (for use in the filter media) capable of withstanding temperatures over 350 °F (177 °C)
