Baghouse Dust Collectors

Built for the Most Demanding Dust Collection Environments

When airflows exceed 1,000 CFM, or when your facility produces more than a 55-gallon drum of dust daily, you need a baghouse dust collector that’s built to last. Cardinal Air’s BRF models are engineered to handle high-temperature applications—those exceeding 375°F—without compromising efficiency or safety. From large-scale manufacturing plants to heavy industrial environments, our systems deliver consistent, dependable air quality control that meets the most rigorous standards.

Whether your operation involves grain dust collection, mining dust control, or woodworking applications, we customize every system to meet your specific requirements. With a rugged construction and field-proven design, BRF baghouses deliver continuous performance where lesser systems fail.

Higher Efficiency and Lower Maintenance

The BRF baghouse filter operates using a reverse air cleaning design, which allows the unit to continue running even during the cleaning cycle. This design minimizes downtime and ensures continuous filtration for uninterrupted operations. Unlike shaker or pulse jet systems that must pause for cleaning, the reverse air configuration offers a distinct advantage in both productivity and cost savings.

Each baghouse dust collector we provide is engineered for high efficiency and reduced maintenance demands. The heavy-duty 7- and 10-gauge steel construction and precision welds ensure lasting durability, while the direct-drive cleaning system minimizes moving parts to reduce wear and tear. The result is a cleaner facility, lower operational costs, and a longer equipment lifespan.

Simplified Maintenance and Access

We know maintenance can be one of the biggest challenges for industrial dust collection systems. That’s why BRF baghouse filters are designed for ease of use and quick serviceability. Features like top access with tool-free bag and cage removal make routine maintenance faster and safer.

Additionally, these collectors are built with:

• Large access platforms and factory-assembled ladders for convenient service points
• Explosion-proof electric motors in the clean air plenum for enhanced safety
• Sprinkler systems and NFPA-approved explosion venting to protect against hazardous events
• Continuous single drive shaft for smooth, efficient operation

These thoughtful design elements make Cardinal Air’s BRF systems some of the most user-friendly and dependable baghouse dust collectors on the market.

Standard Features for Reliable Performance

Each baghouse dust collector we supply is built to the highest standards for safety, durability, and performance. Standard features include:

• 8-year warranty on the cleaning mechanism and a 15-year warranty on the housing
• Explosion-proof motors and NFPA-approved explosion venting for compliance and safety
• Large access platforms for maintenance efficiency
• Direct-drive cleaning systems—no compressed air required
• Continuous single drive shaft for consistent motion and reduced wear
• Accommodations for high dust loads
• Factory-assembled ladders and platforms for turnkey installation

These standard features ensure your system performs under pressure, providing long-term dependability and consistent dust control performance.

Customized Options for Every Industry

Cardinal Air understands that every facility has its own unique challenges. That’s why we offer a wide variety of customized options for our baghouse dust collector systems, ensuring that your equipment perfectly fits your process.

Some of the available options include:

• Multiple filter media types to handle diverse dust characteristics
• Rotary airlocks from 8” to 24” for optimal material discharge
• Backdraft dampers for both single and multi-inlet applications
• Tangential and high-entry inlets to handle heavy or fine dust streams
• Flanged construction for specialized installation needs
• Interior linings of UHMW, rubber, epoxy, or ceramic for abrasion resistance

These options make it possible to fine-tune your baghouse filter system for your exact environmental and production demands.

Designed for Safety and Longevity

Industrial dust collection often involves combustible dust or high-temperature environments where safety is paramount. Cardinal Air’s BRF baghouse dust collectors are engineered to meet or exceed safety standards while maintaining superior performance. Explosion venting, sprinkler integration, and pressure-rated housings protect your facility and employees while maintaining uptime.

Because each system is designed for 25" negative pressure, there’s no need for compressed air, reducing overall operating costs and simplifying maintenance. With fewer moving components and minimum wear parts, you’ll experience greater longevity and reliability throughout the system’s life cycle.

Applications and Markets Served

Cardinal Air’s baghouse dust collector systems are used across a wide range of industries that require large-scale particulate filtration and dependable air quality control. Our systems are ideal for:

• Grain dust collection in agricultural and food processing environments
