LEFILTER | Application case of self-cleaning air filter in blast furnace blast station project of a steel plant in Guangxi

Lefilter2026-01-30 BACK TO LIST

In the harsh working conditions of high temperature and high dust in the steel metallurgy industry, 

the blower, as a key equipment for blast furnace operation, has a direct impact on production efficiency 

and safety for stable operation. In the 3 × 2060m ³ blast furnace project of a certain steel company 

in Guangxi, five sets of electric blower units are all equipped with self-cleaning air filters, installed 

before the inlet of the dehumidification device in the blower station, providing comprehensive 

protection for the fan equipment through effective filtration, becoming a typical application of 

industrial clean air supply.


Core configuration of the project:

Key parameters that fit the working conditions


  • This self-cleaning air filter is designed specifically for the blowing needs of large blast furnaces, 

and its core parameters meet the requirements of industrial scenarios:

01) The rated processing air volume reaches 13000Nm ³/min, matching the high air volume requirements of large blowers to ensure continuous and stable air supply

02) The filtration area covers 18900 square meters, combined with high-quality imported HV filter materials 

from the United States, balancing filtration efficiency and service life.

03) The core function is to effectively intercept impurities, prevent dust from entering the interior of 

the fan from the source, and help reduce equipment wear and failure risks.


Three core technologies:

Realize efficient operation of industrial filtration


1) Three level filtration system: step-by-step filtration, effectively controlling dust.

  • The pre filter screen prioritizes intercepting large particles such as willow catkins and leaves to avoid 

coarse impurities blocking the subsequent filtration process.

  • Junior high efficiency filter cotton effectively captures over 90% of dust, reduces the filtration load 

on the main filter cartridge, and extends the service life of core components.

  • The high-efficiency filter cartridge achieves 1-2 μ m precision filtration, with an outlet air filtration 

efficiency of 99.99%, providing a clean air supply environment for the fan.


2) Automatic Backblowing Cleaning: Automated operation, continuous operation.

  • Relying on PLC intelligent control, high-pressure airflow is started at regular intervals to blow back 

and clean the surface of the filter cartridge, reducing the need for manual operation.

  • The cleaned dust automatically falls into the dust collection bin and is regularly discharged automatically. 

The entire process is sealed to reduce maintenance workload.


3) Intelligent monitoring system: real-time monitoring, timely prompts

  • 24-hour monitoring of key parameters such as pressure difference, temperature, humidity, etc., to 

dynamically grasp the operating status of the filtration system.

  • When the pressure difference is abnormal, an alarm will be automatically triggered to promptly prompt 

maintenance needs and avoid production being affected by filtration failure.


Application value manifestation:

Multiple advantages of adapting to industrial scenarios


The application of this self-cleaning air filter in a blast furnace blast station of a steel company in Guangxi 

has achieved good results:

01 Protecting core equipment and reducing downtime and maintenance caused by dust abrasion of 

fans can help improve production continuity.

02 Reducing manual maintenance costs, automatic cleaning and dust removal functions reduce on-site 

operations, in line with the trend of industrial automation.

03 The filtering effect is stable and can maintain effective air supply quality in dusty environments in 

the metallurgical industry, supporting stable operation of blast furnaces.


Applicable scenario extension:

Not limited to the steel industry


In addition to blast furnace blast stations in the metallurgical industry, this self-cleaning air filter can 

also be applied to:

01 Blower stations in industries such as chemical and power meet the clean air supply needs of 

different industrial scenarios.

02 Pre filtration of dehumidification devices with high requirements for air cleanliness forms a dual 

guarantee of "filtration+dehumidification".

03 Large industrial projects that focus on reducing maintenance costs and improving system stability, 

suitable for high air volume and high dust conditions.


In industrial production, equipment protection begins with details. Self cleaning air filters, with reasonable 

parameter configuration and intelligent core technology, have achieved the goal of "effective filtration+convenient 

maintenance" in a steel blast furnace project in Guangxi. Large scale metallurgical projects and various industrial 

blowing scenarios, this filter demonstrates the importance of "source dust control" with reliable performance, 

providing guarantees for the stable operation of industrial equipment.
