Bin Vent / Dust Collector
EPA Compliance – Eliminate Nuisance Dust – Vent Pneumatic Conveyors
We design and manufacture dust filters for use with any material in any climate. Scratching your head? US Systems creates solutions for difficult applications. Give us a call about your specific application and we’ll help.
When material and convey air discharges into a silo, the air must be allowed to escape. For dusty material that air must be filtered before venting to atmosphere. That’s where a baghouse with Pulse Jet Filter comes in.
In operation, dry bulk material is discharged into a silo where heavy particles fall to the bottom. Fine dusty particles may float upwards toward the bin vent. At this point the air passes through tubular filter media and out to atmosphere, leaving the dusty material behind. These filter tubes are elongated and possibly pleated to allow plenty of surface area for air to pass through in a small amount of space.
Either on a timer or by pressure switch, a high-energy burst of compressed air pulses into the center of the filter tubes. These “reverse pulse jets” activate sequentially to clean material off the filters and blows the collected dust particulates back into the storage silo or bin.
The industrial-duty filters are long-lasting, simple to maintain, and easy to replace.
US Systems provides rugged, long-lasting filter media specified for your material. We continue supporting your system by making it easy to reorder filter media when needed.
Bag House
“Bag House” is a colloquial term for a very large dust collector used in industrial applications, sometimes containing hundreds of filters and are large enough for a person to enter to change the filters.
In addition to standard bin vents and baghouses, we take on special challenges that occur in your environment or with your material. If you have a tough problem such as extreme high or low-temperature conditions, physical space limitation, sticky material, or any other issue that requires an expert solution, give us a call to discuss your needs.

Pulse-Jet Operation is the heart of the automatic self-cleaning system of a US Systems Bin Vent.
Dust that has agglomerated on the exterior filter surface is removed automatically.
The cleaning cycle is controlled by a solid-state timer that progressively energizes the diaphragm valves that pulse high-pressure air into the filter cartridges or bags through a header system located in the clean air plenum.
Holes on the air headers are located over the top of each cart or bag. They direct the bursts of compressed air into the filters, creating a pneumatic shock wave within the filter causing it to flex. The accumulated dust is knocked off the filter and drops into the hopper.
