Importance of leakage monitoring
Problems caused by dust leakage
When bag filters are used for many years, the filters become damaged and deteriorate due to the friction of powder particles. As you can imagine, if the filter breaks, the collected powder may be released into the atmosphere but it may also cause damage to the equipment.
For example, dust will leak out if a filter is broken, and the leaked dust may adhere to the inside of the blower to cause corrosion. Due to this corrosion, loads are given on various parts of the blower, and in some cases, it may even stop. It is important to understand possible problems and take countermeasures before such a situation occurs.
Countermeasure: Monitoring dust concentration
Traditionally, working environment measurements based on manual analysis methods have been the mainstream, but there are periods when monitoring is not possible using only this method, and there is a possibility that leaks may go unnoticed. To avoid this, it is necessary to constantly monitor the dust concentration using a dust monitor.
