Construction and Configuration
- Compact cylindrical silo-top installation
- 14 filter-element configuration
- Stainless-steel housing
- Bottom flange for mounting on the silo roof
- Weather and bird-protection cover provision
- Accessible arrangement for filter inspection and replacement
- Suitable for outdoor industrial installations

Filtration and Cleaning System
During pneumatic silo filling, incoming material displaces air from inside the silo. This dust-laden air passes through the filter elements, where fine particles are retained while filtered air is allowed to vent.
Accumulated material is removed from the filter elements using the selected cleaning system. Where the installation arrangement permits, the separated material falls back into the silo, helping reduce material loss.
- Vibratory type: Uses mechanical vibration to clean the filter elements and normally does not require compressed air for cleaning.
- Pulse-jet type: Uses controlled compressed-air pulses to clean the filter elements during operation.
- Cleaning configuration can be selected according to operating duty, dust characteristics and available utilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 14 Bag Top Mounted Silo Dust Collector?
A 14 Bag Top Mounted Silo Dust Collector is a compact industrial filtration unit installed directly on the top of a storage silo. It uses 14 filter elements to filter dust-laden displaced air generated during pneumatic filling of cement, fly ash and other compatible dry bulk materials.
What is a top mounted silo dust collector used for?
It is primarily used for silo venting during pneumatic material filling. The dust collector allows displaced air to pass through the filter elements while retaining dust particles, helping reduce airborne dust around the silo and plant.
How does a 14 Bag Silo Dust Collector work?
During pneumatic filling, incoming material displaces air from inside the silo. This dust-laden air passes through the 14 filter elements. Dust remains on the filter surface while filtered air vents through the dust collector.
What materials can the 14 Bag Top Mounted Dust Collector handle?
The unit is designed for cement, fly ash and other compatible dry bulk powders. Final filter-media selection and operating configuration should be confirmed according to the actual material characteristics and application conditions.
Can the dust collector be used on a cement silo?
Yes. The 14 Bag Top Mounted Silo Dust Collector is suitable for cement silo venting applications, including RMC plants, concrete batching plants, cement storage systems and cement bulker unloading operations.
Can it be used on a fly ash silo?
Yes. A properly configured 14 filter silo dust collector can be used for fly ash silo venting. Filter media and cleaning arrangement should be selected according to fly ash characteristics and operating conditions.
What is the filtration area of the 14 Bag Dust Collector?
The current reference 14-filter configuration has an approximate filtration area of 24.5 m². Final filtration area should be confirmed according to the selected filter element and approved product configuration.
What is the airflow capacity of the 14 Bag Silo Dust Collector?
The current reference configuration provides venting airflow of up to approximately 1,500 m³/hr. Actual suitability depends on pneumatic filling rate, filter media, dust loading, system resistance and silo operating conditions.
What is a vibratory type silo dust collector?
In a vibratory cleaning dust collector, accumulated material is removed from the filter elements through mechanical vibration. This configuration normally does not require compressed air specifically for filter cleaning.
What is a pulse jet type silo dust collector?
A pulse jet silo dust collector uses controlled pulses of compressed air to clean accumulated dust from the filter elements. The pulse cleaning arrangement generally includes suitable solenoid valves and electrical control components.
What is the difference between Vibratory and Pulse Jet cleaning?
Vibratory cleaning uses mechanical vibration to remove dust from the filters, while pulse jet cleaning uses short bursts of compressed air. Selection depends on operating duty, available utilities, dust characteristics and customer requirements.
Does the vibratory dust collector require compressed air?
Compressed air is normally not required specifically for the mechanical filter-cleaning function of the vibratory configuration. The exact equipment arrangement should still be confirmed from the approved design.
Does the pulse jet dust collector require compressed air?
Yes. The pulse jet cleaning system requires a suitable compressed-air supply to generate the cleaning pulses used to remove accumulated dust from the filter elements.
Where is the 14 Bag Silo Dust Collector installed?
The unit is installed directly on the top or roof of the storage silo using the designated bottom flange mounting arrangement. Final connection dimensions should match the approved silo and dust collector design.
Why is a dust collector required during pneumatic silo filling?
Pneumatic filling introduces material and conveying air into the silo. The displaced air must leave the silo, and a suitable dust collector filters this air to help reduce dust emissions and avoid unnecessary loss of stored material.
Does collected dust return to the silo?
Where the dust collector and silo arrangement permits, dust removed from the filter elements during cleaning can fall back towards the silo. The exact recovery arrangement depends on the equipment design and installation.
Can the filter elements be replaced?
Yes. The top mounted dust collector is designed with access for inspection and replacement of the filter elements. Replacement filters should match the approved dimensions, media and installation arrangement.
Can a 14 Bag Dust Collector replace an existing silo dust collector?
Replacement applications can be evaluated after checking the existing silo opening, mounting flange, available space, filling rate, required airflow, electrical or pneumatic utilities and current dust collector configuration.
Can the mounting flange be customized?
Mounting and connection arrangements can be evaluated according to the silo design and customer requirement. Final flange dimensions should be confirmed before manufacturing or supplying the dust collector.
What information is required for a 14 Bag Silo Dust Collector quotation?
Useful information includes stored material, silo capacity and diameter, pneumatic filling rate, existing mounting dimensions, required cleaning type, available electrical and compressed-air utilities and whether the requirement is for a new installation or replacement.
