Self-cleaning silo filter
Ensure purity and compliance by trapping dust effectively during silo loading, while maintaining continuous operations with self-cleaning capabilities.
The FAS – Self-Cleaning Silo Filter from GEA is engineered to enhance dust management and streamline pneumatic material handling operations in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. This system employs a bag filter design that captures dust from airflows during silo loading, utilizing compressed air jets for continuous cleaning. Suitable for a variety of powdered and granular materials like flour, sugar, and milk powder, it ensures compliance with highest hygiene standards by preventing accumulation. Featuring a cylindrical housing attached directly on silo tops, it supports automation with integrated pressure monitoring for optimized filter efficiency. Optional stainless-steel construction offers durability for diverse industrial environments. This system meets local regulatory standards and features inspection hatches for effortless maintenance and cleaning.
