When designing and intergrading dust collectors in dust collection systems there is an important factor that requires careful consideration, the Air-to-Cloth Ratio. This ratio can determine the efficiency of a dust collector<\/a>. As when this ratio is out of balance or calculated wrong it can create issues or reduce the lifetime of the filter media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The air-to-cloth ratio is the volumetric flow rate of air (m3\/minute; SI m3\/second) flowing through a dust collector’s inlet duct divided by the total cloth area (m2) in the filters. The result is expressed in units of velocity. Basically, meaning how much air passes through each filter per square meter. This gives the following formula which can be broken down in 3 steps: <\/p>\n\n\nAir-to-Cloth formula<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
