A baffle plate is a crucial component of a baghouse dust collector, and it is strategically placed in a baghouse to:
Pre-separate larger and heavier particles from the air stream before it reaches the filter bags so that it reduces the load on the filter bags, extending their lifespan.
Distribute the incoming contaminated air evenly across the filter bags, ensuring more consistent and efficient filtration.
Prevent abrasive dust particles from directly hitting the filter bags, which can cause damage and tears.
