𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘋𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤™ Broken Bag Detector

DUST ALARM 40

Controller based Gross filter failure detector. Detects significant increases in particulate loading providing warnings of filter media degradation in baghouses and cartridge filters.

The Dust Alarm 40 provides incredible capabilities at a cost-effective price for the continuous monitoring of broken bags in Fabric Filter Baghouses. As a ‘Dust Gross Filter Failure Detector’, the instrument detects significant increases in particulate loading which indicates a failure in the arrestment plant, providing warnings of filter media degradation in baghouses and cartridge filters.
