2. Introduction The Bag Filter separates dust from the exhaust gas by collecting them with the filter media. The dust is accumulated on the surface of filter media. And the filter media is cleaned by reverse airflow called backwashing (pulse-jet). The Bag Filter has a selection of filter media. Size separation of fine dust from the milled powder is achieved in 2 steps In 1 st step, the milled powder is passed through a bag filter (cloth) by applying the suction on the opposite side of feed entry IN the 2 nd step pressure is applied in order to shake the bags so that powder adhering to bags falls off, which is collected from the conical base

3. Construction It consist of number of bags made of cotton or wool fabric. These are suspended in a sheet metal container. A bell crank lever arrangement is made to bring the filter to normal atmospheric condition

4. Working Step I-Feed is separated from air by passing it through the cloth bags Step II-Bags are shaken to collect the fines that are adhered to the bags These 2 steps are subsequent and are controlled at different interval with the help of bell crank lever arrangement

5. Continue..... Filtering period-: The exhaust fan positioned at the top keeps the bags under less pressure than atmospheric pressure. The gas containing fine particles or dust enters the hopper and passes up. The gas feed passes through the fabric of bag. During this process, the fines are retained in the bags, while gas reaches the top of the casing. Because of air the bag remains taut during filtration operation. Shaking period-: Since vacuum is cut off in the chamber, air from outside enters the casing and passes through the bags. This result in violent shaking of the bags, so that the dust and fine particles are displaced from the bags and falls into the conical base.

6. Uses Uses Bag filters are used along with other size separation equipment e.g. cyclone separator It is connected to the fluidized energy mill to discharge end. Bag filters are used for the clarification/filtration of fluids that have a relatively small loading of particles to be removed.
