Industrial bag filter for powder collection efficiency

For producers seeking to enhance powder yield while minimizing emissions, this cutting-edge bag filter offers exceptional powder recovery and energy efficiency, seamlessly integrating into continuous operations to support cleaner, more sustainable production environments.

Filters and Recovers Powder in Continuous Operations

The Tetra Pak® Bag Filter is an industrial solution for powder processing, tailored to meet the stringent needs of dairy and nutritional product manufacturers. This equipment specializes in powder filtration and recovery through a continuous, fully automatic process, ensuring high efficiency and minimal emissions. With airflow capacities ranging from 26,000 to 287,000 m³/h, it accommodates a wide array of applications, including whey protein concentrate, vegan protein powder, and infant formula production.

Engineered with smart pulsing control, the system adjusts air pressure and flow intervals to sustain low operational costs and enhance bag longevity. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling optimizes its geometry for uniform flow velocities, while a unique cage locking system facilitates rapid, hygienic bag replacement. This bag filter integrates seamlessly with spray dryers in compact configurations, offering a reduced building footprint by up to 20%.

Certified for food-grade operations, it features a CIP-ready design with no rotating parts or contamination risks, ensuring compliance with contemporary hygiene standards. Tetra Pak supports comprehensive customization options and provides engineering assistance to tailor installations to specific operational requirements.
