Bag Filter Plant and Settling Chamber
The Deduster utilizes a bag filter system to effectively extract and
filter fumes and dust generated during Electric Arc Furnace and Ladle
Furnace operations. The Quencher acts as the primary suction and
cooling train for the Consteel® preheating tunnel, using a settling
chamber and water spray system to rapidly lower hot gas
temperatures.
