Transalloys (Pty) Ltd currently uses five submerged arc furnaces to produce silicomanganese (SiMn) at a capacity of 180,000 tons per year. Transalloys was looking to expand its production capabilities, requiring more capacity for air pollution control.

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 incorporate an entirely new class of membranes that acts as a true surface filter in fume and fine powder applications. The membrane provides excellent particulate capture efficiency, dust cake release and filtration performance.

A 190 °C (375 °F) maximum service temperature, polyphenylene sulfide felt filter bag for use in pulse jet style dust collectors subject to chemical attack.

GORE Membrane Filter Socks are used in a variety of filtration steps within the chlor-alkali process as well as for other Industrial Fluid or tubular back-pulse applications.

A 135 °C (275 °F) maximum service temperature, stayed-polyester felt filter cartridge for use in pulse jet style dust collectors where high differential pressure and high cleaning pressures are required due to aggressive dust loading.

A 135 °C (275 °F) maximum service temperature, anti-static polyester fe lt filter bag for use in pulse jet style dust collectors where static dissipation is required.

A 260 °C (500 °F) maximum service temperature, expanded PTFE felt filter bag for use in pulse jet style dust collectors with chemically aggressive operating conditions.

A 80 °C (176 °F) continuous service temperature, polypropylene felt filter bag for use in pulse jet style dust collectors.Used in polymers, chemicals, cement, detergent and related industries operating at low temperature requiring excellent abrasion resistance and chemical resistance.
