A producer of cement in Mexico was looking to consistently meet maximum kiln feed. The plant selected GORE^® LOW DRAG Filter Bags to replace its existing membrane filters. The bags’ new membrane promotes increased airflow through the baghouse with persistently low differential pressure.

Cement producers need filtration solutions that meet both their productivity goals and their bottom line. When a cement plan in Canada looked for ways to improve operations in its pulse-jet baghouse, they found a simple solution that didn’t require adding more modules to the baghouse.

Read the following case study to learn how GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags make the difference in the production of TiO2 by helping you to reduce the need for offline cleaning while improving your production efficiency at the same time.

GORE LOW DRAG Filters Bags offer carbon black producers the best solution for high-performance, cost-effective product collection. An innovative, proprietary ePTFE membrane, robust design and construction methods, and our expertise in application support and system optimization ensure high productivity and product quality while maintaining low cost of ownership.

A carbon black manufacturer faced a need to maintain filtration emissions to the lowest level possible to ensure regulation compliance and increase energy production  efficiency.

A carbon black manufacturer faced the need to lower dP in the baghouse in order to increase airflow through the reactor – and, as a result, increase production. The manufacturer also wanted to extend the service life of its filter bags to lower the overall cost of ownership.

Gore’s filtration solutions keep you running longer, more efficiently and with greater particulate capture. Our filters are constructed using advanced materials, including expanded PTFE, a highly versatile material that is chemically inert, durable and resistant to extreme temperatures. These attributes make our filters reliable in harsh conditions, over time and when interacting with harmful chemicals.
