Particulate filtration
Compact, efficient filtration
Particularly suited to indoor applications with low air volumes, cartridge dust collectors use pleated filter elements to retain particulate in the airflow. The pleated arrangement provides a high filter area in a compact assembly, benefiting installations with space constraints.
Equipment selection considers airflow, dust concentration and characteristics, and temperature and moisture conditions. These parameters guide cartridge, filter area, and cleaning system configuration, together with capture and discharge of collected material.

Engineering applied to filtration
Performance depends on compatibility between filter media, particulate characteristics, and operating conditions. Design must also consider air distribution, element cleaning, and maintenance access.
- Cartridge selectionFilter media, pleat geometry, and filter area defined according to dust, temperature, moisture, and air stream composition.
- Flow distributionAir inlet and internal arrangement sized to distribute flow and limit direct particulate impact on filter elements.
- Cleaning and monitoringCleaning system and pressure drop monitoring specified for operating duty and available utilities.
- Integration and maintenanceDust collection and discharge, duct and fan connections, and space for cartridge inspection and replacement considered in assembly configuration.
Applications and industries
The pharmaceutical industry and laboratories are the main markets served by Kleema cartridge dust collectors. Particularly suited to indoor applications with low air volumes, they combine high filter area and compact construction.
They can provide local capture of dry, fine powders during material transfer, feeding, and handling, according to each process's requirements.
Other industries include chemicals, metallurgy and mechanical manufacturing, ceramics and mineral materials, mining and mineral processing, subject to application compatibility.
Filter suitability is assessed for each capture point. Temperature, moisture, adhesion, abrasiveness, and potential material combustibility influence technology and component selection.
Technical information
Specification starts with process conditions and installation characteristics. Main assessment parameters include:
| Flow rate and operating duty | Air volume to treat, flow variations, simultaneous capture points, and operating hours. |
|---|---|
| Particulate characteristics | Concentration, particle size distribution, density, abrasiveness, adhesion, and combustibility. |
| Temperature and moisture | Normal conditions, temperature peaks, and potential condensation. |
| Filter elements | Filter media, cartridge quantity, and filter area compatible with the application. |
| Cleaning and pressure drop | Cleaning configuration, available utilities, and monitoring criteria. |
| Discharge and installation | Material collection method, system interfaces, and space available for installation and maintenance. |
