Baghouse dust collectors work best with larger sized dry particles. This type of collector is efficient down to around 5 microns (much larger than with the cartridge collector). The fabric collection bags used with baghouse collectors also, generally, last longer than collection cartridges.

On the downside, cleaning must be done often, there are no effective means to remove residual dust buildup, which requires more maintenance than other types of baghouse systems.

Dust collector systems work in general by drawing dust and particulates from the air through a filter that first captures and separates the matter and then discharges purified air back into the workplace or environment.

A cartridge dust collector is a very common style of dust collector used across many industries. Instead of filter bags, it uses cartridges that are usually cylindrical or oval shaped and open on one or both ends lined with a pleated nonwoven filtering media.

An industrial cartridge-type dust collector uses pleated filters. Usually round but sometimes oval or other shapes, these capture dust or fumes on their outside surface. Many have a metal mesh called expanded metal, which may be on the inside, outside, or both.

Dust collectors have internal cleaning systems that eject bursts of compressed air into the center of the filter cartridge every few seconds. These air pulses push through the filter media at high velocity (generally 90-100 psi), which blows most of the dust out of the cartridge, so it falls down into the hopper.

You can save on labor costs and time because cartridges are larger, so you don't have to replace as many. Baghouses are typically much larger and house more filters than cartridges. Automated cleaning systems in baghouses make it much easier to keep filter bags clean and reduce bag wear.
