The company’s B-PAC series of Baghouse Performance Analyzers and Controllers offers a combination of features to help dust collector operators reduce operating costs, improve the process, and meet EPA or OSHA compliance, simultaneously. The controllers tightly integrate control, sensing, and signal analysis to provide time- and money-saving diagnostics including: the ability to detect/locate filter leaks weeks before emissions are visible, the ability to detect/locate failed pulse solenoids that can lead to plugged filters, and the ability to instantly detect/locate ruptured or frozen pulse-jet diaphragms. The controller also provides intelligent filter cleaning, which, according to the company, extends filter life and lowers emissions while reducing compressed air use by 15 percent to 40 percent over traditional PLC programming and up to 90 percent over continuous cleaning. Optional software provides enhanced process control features and further automation of EPA record keeping. A series of models for small cartridge collectors to large multi-compartment baghouses is available. The controllers are easy-to-use, high-quality, heavy-duty products designed for long-life in harsh process environments. A range of analog and digital I/O are available as well as all major filed buses including Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet, Profibus, and others.
