The Schenck Process hygienic round-top removal HRT filter has interior and exterior finishes that meet 3-A requirements. The pulse jet filter has a top-hinged dome, ferrules mounted for use with a clean-in-place skid or clean-out-of-place filter media and purge pipes, and an all-stainless-steel diaphragm body. The filter is intended for sanitary applications where dust collection is required in low-capacity pneumatic conveying systems, such as the vacuum loading of extruders or the refilling of minor/micro hoppers.
