Cabinet-door maker seals deal on clean air with Auburn Filtersense’s PM 100 PRO system

The Auburn Filtersense PM 100 PRO yielded great results for a cabinet-door manufacturer.

Auburn Filtersense particulate-monitoring and control solutions are available from Firing Industries Ltd., including the unique PM 100 PRO bag leak detection system. This multi-point particulate-monitoring device is designed specifically for baghouse and stack applications, and it provides reliable performance for businesses in a wide range of sectors – including the wood-processing field.

Recently, a major cabinet-door producer needed a dependable solution for monitoring particulate emissions and detecting filter-bag failures in dust collectors – and turned to Auburn Filtersense for the answer.

Leak detection with DynaCHARGE technology

This manufacturer operated two baghouses – a square filter house in which air blasts cleaned bags, and a round filter house cleaned by a rotating air knife. Among the customer’s main goals were to meet dust-exposure regulations, achieve prompt leak detection in filter bags and stop excessive emissions, and lower operational expenses by optimizing maintenance schedules. Auburn recommended installing the PM 100 PRO to enhance dust monitoring.

Available from Firing Industries, this bag leak detection system uses DynaCHARGE non-contact charge-induction technology. The PM 100 PRO is unaffected by contamination and needs no frequent sensor-rod cleaning, unlike standard triboelectric units and opacity monitors; this substantially improves dependability and maintenance efficiency.

The customer used the PM 100 PRO for four months and found it highly effective with both baghouses. In the square one, the leak detection system offered clear visibility of air-blast cleaning cycles and identified ruptured bags instantly. In the round house, the PM 100 PRO immediately detected increased emissions in a controlled experiment in which the staff had intentionally slit a bag by two inches – thereby demonstrating the system’s high sensitivity.

By implementing the PM 100 PRO, the company transformed its dust-monitoring process in an unprecedented way. Leak detection and monitoring had previously been tedious and uncertain, but this system made it seamless and exact, with real-time insights offering unparalleled accuracy. The customer no longer had to second-guess the plant’s filter performance or worry about bag failures going unnoticed. The system effortlessly dealt with issues that had previously posed operational risks and compliance concerns.
