Automatic Bin Vent

Mounted atop a storage tank, the Automatic Bin Vent filters exhaust air and prevents pressure buildup inside the tank. When material is pneumatically conveyed into the storage tank, most of it settles out of suspension, while the dust-laden excess air is directed through the filter, where airborne dust particles are captured by filter bags or cartridges. Periodic bursts of compressed air—controlled by solenoid valves—are then used to pulse the bags or cartridges, dislodging the trapped dust particles and cleaning the filters. Meanwhile, the product remains safely stored in the tank, and clean air is released through the tank vent, exiting directly into the atmosphere.

    Mounted atop a storage tank, the Automatic Bin Vent filters exhaust air and prevents pressure buildup inside the tank. When material is pneumatically conveyed into the storage tank, most of it settles out of suspension, while the dust-laden excess air is directed through the filter, where airborne dust particles are captured by filter bags or cartridges. Periodic bursts of compressed air—controlled by solenoid valves—are then used to pulse the bags or cartridges, dislodging the trapped dust particles and cleaning the filters. Meanwhile, the product remains safely stored in the tank, and clean air is released through the tank vent, exiting directly into the atmosphere.

    The standard material of construction is carbon steel with an enamel coating. The unit’s filter element is cleaned using reverse-jet cleaning, powered by a compressed air accumulator. Compressed air is directed through venturis, creating a powerful airflow that effectively dislodges even the most stubborn dust particles from the filter element, ensuring thorough cleaning. Importantly, only a single row of the filter element is pulsed at any given time, while the remaining rows continue to operate online. The interval between pulses is adjustable, allowing operators to optimize the cleaning process for maximum efficiency. The filter element in the bin vent is easily accessible for maintenance via the quick-access door. Air pulse cleaning of the filter element is precisely controlled by the timer control panel, which allows users to effortlessly adjust both the frequency and duration of each pulse. A clear display on the panel indicates exactly which row of the filter element is currently being cleaned. Additionally, all solenoids responsible for pulse cleaning are integrated into the diaphragm valves. Each bin vent is equipped with a pressure differential indicator, which continuously monitors the difference in pressure between the filter element housing and the clean air plenum. This gauge provides real-time feedback to the operator, confirming the effectiveness of the filter cleaning system.
