Many of the flour mills in Australia were fitted with dust collectors many years ago in order to limit lost product as much as for environmental reasons. The early systems used either shakers or reverse flow methods for cleaning. These methods were not efficient and resulted in filter needing to be changed every 6-8 weeks. With the new system filters do not need changing for over five years. During the last ten years most of the old systems have been changed to reverse pulse jet and the photograph shows a conversion module built to fit onto the original casing. The tangential inlet takes the place of the drop out plenum used on larger systems. Explosion vents are fitted to the old casing for safety and vented to outside the work space.
