Polluted air enters the filter through a pre-chamber which enables separation of coarser particles; the flow then passes through the cartridges depositing the contaminants outside, while clean air is discharged through filter head. An electronic cycle provides for cartridge sequential cleaning with compressed air. The wide filtering surface of each cartridge allows a reduced volume of the equipment, and this means that Pulsatron Compact® filters, unlike traditional bag filters, can be installed indoor, near pollution sources.
