Chris Polizzi, Gore, details the pursuit of a lower total cost of ownership at a large kiln baghouse in this article from World Cement.

Industry Article: Surviving Demand Changes

Economic sequels from COVID-19 will be among the worst in history. But what did the cement industry do to counter its effects? WL Gore illustrates how reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through smart investments can allow a cement plant to remain flexible in times of low and high demand.

Industry Article: Reducing Emmissions While Achieving Production Goals with GORE Low Drag Filters

This article from GLOBAL CEMENT explains how OYAK Cement reduced costs and increased baghouse efficiency by using GORE Low Drag Filters.

Industry Article: Improvement is a Responsibility, Reucing Resistance to Air Flow with GORE Filter Bags

The continued improvement of technology and operating practices often lies with individual companies taking responsibility to drive innovation in their product range. In the area of filter bags, a need to reduce resistance to air flow led to the development of new filter bags.

Industry Article: Finding Added Value by Calculating Total Cost of Ownershop in your Baghouse, World Cement

Carlos Lopez Cuevas, Gore, Mexico, considers how calculating TCO can help identify added value as well as hidden costs. This is a useful tool that accounts for both the initial and ongoing costs of a product or service, as well as any indirect costs that should be considered.

Industry Article: Filter Bag Filled with Benefits

Eastern Province Cement Co in Saudi Arabia improved efficiency at its 3.8 Mta Damman plant by upgrading cement mill baghouse filter bags. The new GORE® Filter Media reduced energy use, increased output, and resolved performance issues—supporting high-quality, cost-effective production.

Tang Yong and Li Qiang, Southwest Cement Group, and Adam Feng, Gore, share how a dust collection system upgrade helped improve environmental results, reduce operating costs and increase productivity for the Lisen Cement Plant in Deyang, China.

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags Case Study TiO2 Feed Bin

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.

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags Case Study 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.)

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags Case Study Carbon Black Reduced dP

One of the most important metrics for a baghouse is differential pressure (dP). A consistently high dP indicates blinding of the filter media and/or poor release of dust cake during cleaning, typically leading to lower airflow (throughput), throttling back of production rates and shorter bag life.

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags Case Study Carbon Black Purge Gas

A carbon black producer sought to improve process stability, production efficiency and bag life in their purge gas operations.
