Mini Loop Surface!
|
Drum Filter Media manufactures the patented Tuff Sheen Tube® media. The Tuff Sheen Tube® media is circular knit fabric consisting of a mini loop surface. The circular knit process provides a high permeability, reducing pressure drop conditions with excellent filtration efficiencies of 90-95%. The physical movement of the slick surface on the cleaning cycle easily removes heavy dust formations while preventing blinding or plugging of the fabric. By eliminating the seam you have additional filter area and increased air flow without the possibility of seam leakage. Diameters include 4.7", 5", 6", 11.5”, 12.5", 13". |
Superior Cleaning Action!
The Tuff Sheen Tube® can be used in your bag house system regardless of the bag cleaning method employed (i.e. Pulse-Jet, Shaker or Reverse Air) Bag cleaning energy is transmitted to the self-cleaning slick surface structure on the dust side of the Tuff Sheen Tube®. The unique flexing action of the slick surface dust surface is designed to break up the accumulated dust cake and discharge it efficiently in seconds, not minutes. Time and cleaning energy are saved. In addition wear and tear on both filter bags and bag cleaning mechanisms is minimized. Energy Savings!
With the increasing cost of electricity, energy savings are becoming more important. The Tuff Sheen Tube® helps to correct and reduce the high pressure drop conditions across the bag house system resulting in fan energy savings that could be substantial. Static Eliminator!
Knitting with electrically conductive carbonized yarns, the media can improve bag house safety by constantly drawing off static charges to ground. These fabrics will also combat "Static Cling" or serious cases of dust hang up due to opposing static charges between the dust and the filter media. For additional information on charge release see Static Eliminator Efficiency Testing. |
Benefits!
Improved air-flow efficiency plus effective filter bag cleaning means lower pressure-drop readings across bag house systems equipped with the high efficiency Tuff Sheen Tube®.Problems with undersized inefficient bag house units can be solved. In many cases bag house capacity can be increased with simple fan modifications.
Reduced air-flow resistance and lower pressure-drop readings, add up to significant energy savings. Fans don't work as hard. Shakers don't shake as long. In the case of Pulse-Jet systems, tests have proven that, in many cases, compressed air consumption can be reduced by up to 50% due to the superior self-cleaning ability of the media.
