01

How the equipment works

Gas turns around a baffle while some particles strike it by inertia and separate. Baffle and hopper geometry affect whether released dust returns to the gas stream.

What to check for selection or replacement

Identify wear at the first baffle row, access for service, the dust drop path and the pressure drop at design flow.
