Tetratex® Filter Bags Solve Problems from Sticky & Muddy Lignite Dust
Tetratex® Filter Bags Solve Problems from Sticky & Muddy Lignite Dust The Dalamatic Insertable is a dust collector designed to fit into existing ducts and silos to collect dust at the point of generation. Industry: Lignite ‘Brown Coal’ Dust Problem: High-water-content coal dust turned to mud and plugged up filters, ducts, and valves. Solution: A ductless collector, the Donaldson® Torit® Dalamatic® Insertable, and bag filters made of Donaldson Tetratex® PTFE media.
