Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags for Longer Bag Life and Stable Operation in Talc Micronizers/Mills

A leading talc producer desired longer pulse jet filter bag life in their jet mill baghouses.GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags required cleaning less often (6 times/hour) compared to our Standard Filter Bag (11 times/hour) or the competitor's bag (erratic and many.)

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags for Longer Bag Life and Stable Operation in Refining Catalyst Production

A multinational producer of alumina catalyst desired longer pulse jet filter bag life and steadier operation in both their calciner and feedbin baghouses.

Case Study: GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags for Improving Process Efficiency in TiO2 Production

A customer was employing standard filter bags (ePTFE membrane on polyester felt backer) in finishing bag houses in the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigments. New product lines with enhanced TiO2 particle surface treatment subsequently posed filtration challenges.

Case Study: GORE High Durability Filter Bags, Carbon Black

The manufacturer faced the need to increase airflow through the reactor (to increase production) and wanted to extend the service life of the filter bags in order to save costs.

Case Study: Canadian Cement Producer Uses GORE® LOW DRAG Filter Bags to Boost Clinker Production

A Canadian cement plant installed GORE® LOW DRAG™ Filter Bags and achieved a 14 % higher kiln feed rate, 12 % lower differential pressure, 11 % greater airflow and 12 % reduced fan motor RPM—all without adding modules.

GORE LOW DRAG Filters Bags offer carbon black producers the best solution for high-performance, cost-effective product collection.

Article: World Cement Magazine - Filter Bags For The Future

Caesar Javier Alanis Cruz, W. L. Gore & Associates, presents a case study from Cementos y Concretos Nacionales, highlighting how the plant enhanced production and extended filter life by optimising its coal mill baghouse filtration system.

Article: How Gore Low Drag Filter Bags Cut Energy Use by 40 Percent at OYAK Cement Plant

Discover how OYAK Cement's Ünye Plant reduced fan power consumption by 40 Percent, lowered differential pressure from 16 to 9 mbar, and achieved 4+ years of reliable performance by switching to GORE® Low Drag Filter Bags — with only one bag replaced in over four years of operation.

Article: Breedon Cement Leverages GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags to Achieve Greater Overall Process Efficiency.

Gore approached Steve Kearsey, Senior Process Engineer at Breedon Group, to introduce the concept of low resistance membrane technology, and to determine if GORE LOW DRAG filter bags could help Breedon Cement to improve on the performance of existing filter media.
