A Bag Filter (also known as a Baghouse) is an air pollution control device used to remove particulate matter (dust, pollutants) from industrial exhaust gases. It is commonly used in industries like cement, steel, power plants, pharmaceuticals, and food processing to maintain air quality and comply with environmental regulations.
A baghouse operates on the principle of filtration, where dusty air is passed through fabric filter bags that capture fine particles, allowing only clean air to exit. The collected dust is periodically removed to maintain efficiency.
