When the concentration of industrial dust reaches a certain level (that is, the explosion limit), if it encounters electrostatic discharge sparks or external ignition, it will easily cause explosion and fire. Such as: flour dust, chemical dust, coal dust, etc. may explode in case of electrostatic discharge. In the field of bag dust removal, if the dust needs to be collected with a cloth bag, the filter material for making the dust bag is required to have anti static properties. The anti-static filter bags are all made of anti-static needle-punched felt, which has excellent anti-static performance and is the most ideal choice for explosion-proof dust collection.
Conductive fibers or stainless steel conductive materials are mixed into the chemical fibers used to produce needle felt to produce antistatic needle felt with excellent antistatic properties. The results of comparing antistatic dust filter bags with ordinary dust filter bags in terms of physical properties, charge and dust removal efficiency have confirmed the superiority of antistatic dust filter bags.
