Modular Baghouse

Economical, Configurable Performance for a Range of Applications

The Modular Baghouse (MB) delivers reliable, efficient, continuous-duty, pulse-jet operation.​​​​

MB Series Modular Baghouse Dust Collector

The MB provides reliable service with easy maintenance. Computer designed inlets and deflector plates, coupled with maximized bag spacing, result in opt​imal airflow with minimal abrasion. Advanced valves, providing 50% more cleaning air, result in a more efficient operation. Over the life of the collector, no other baghouse can provide this much value.

The MB advantage is found in the breakthrough technology of our filter bags. Dura-Life™ filter bags and Ultra-Web® pleated bag filters.  Dura-Life filter bags provide twice the life over standard 540 g/m² / 16 oz/yd² polyester bags. Our pleated bag options with Ultra-Web SB, provide longer filter life and reduced emissions. Both options can lower the overall cost of operation of the collector.

Baghouse Operations That Work

The Modular Baghouse collector comes in two models: the MBT allows walk-on, top access to the bags (clean-air side) of the collector. This configuration is ideal for indoor or tight-budget applications. The MBW offers a walk-in clean-air plenum, so bags can be replaced in any kind of outdoor weather.

The Modular Baghouse has a hopper inlet that was designed with the help of computer airflow analysis to provide maximum performance. When dusty air enters the inlet, it hits a deflector plate at the end of the inlet, which causes heavier particles to drop directly into the hopper. This design reduces the amount of dust that comes in contact with the bags, thus reducing bag abrasion and providing reduced pressure drop and longer bag life.

Dumpster Discharge for Heavy Dust Loading

For applications with heavy dust loading, the MB has an easy to use Dumpster Discharge. This option provides either a 1.5 or 2.3 cubic meter / two or three cubic yard self-dumping dumpster that can be hauled away with the use of a forklift. The dumpster comes with a lid that seals the system so that no rotary valve is required. The lid is lifted off of the dumpster via a mechanical lift, which is included with the package.

Two Breakthrough Filter Options

Dura-Life® Filter Bags

Dura-Life Filter Bags Provide Twice the Life Over Standard 540 g/m2 / 16 oz/yd2 Polyester Bags. Traditional 540 g/m2 / 16 oz/yd2 polyester bags are produced via a needling process that creates larger pores where dust can embed into the fabric, inhibiting cleaning and reducing bag life. Dura-Life bags are engineered with a unique hydroentanglement process that uses water jets to blend the fibres. This process creates a felt with smaller pores which keeps more dust on the surface of the filter resulting in better pulse cleaning and longer bags life.

Features of Dura-Life® Filter Bags
  • Two to three times longer bag filter life
  • Reduced maintenance and replacement bag filter costs due to fewer bag changeouts
  • fan energy savings due to lower pressure drop
  • Thirty percent fewer emissions based on EPA tests

Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bag

For more than two decades, Donaldson Torit has advanced the proven Ultra-Web fine fibre technology. Ultra-Web provides a very fine, continuous fibre of 0.2-0.3 micron in diameter to form a web-like net that traps dust on the surface of the media. Combining Ultra-Web technology with a sturdy spunbond polyester substrate, Ultra-Web SB pleated bag filters provide longer life, reduced downtime and reduced emissions.​​

Benefits of Ultra-Web SB Pleated Bags
  • Up to two times longer filter life
  • Energy savings due to lower pressure drop
  • Reduced maintenance and downtime costs
  • Reduced emissions
  • Snap-in design for tool free installation
  • Fully synthetic snap-in design eliminates the need to provide bonding points

Ultra-Web® Filter Technology Explained

 This video explains the Ultra-Web Technology and shows how to save money and time while using Ultra-Web Filters.

Dura-Life™ Baghouse Filters

Dura-Life filtration technology exceeds that of conventional polyester and other bag filters.These bags can offer twice the life of other bags, and are offered for all popular brands of collectors.

IoT Enabled with iCue™ Connected Filtration Service

This collector* is now enabled with Donaldson’s iCue™ connected filtration monitoring service. Designed to remotely monitor a facility’s dust collection equipment and provide operational insights directly to end-users, this information can help manufacturers reduce unplanned downtime, support efficient maintenance and operation, and automatically capture compliance data.
