  • Kiln baghouse with dynamically selectable and reconfigurable polishing and non-polishing operations
    Patent number: 10464017
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method having dynamically reconfigurable air flow paths for supporting polishing and non-polishing operations. The invention includes a first baghouse section and a second baghouse section coupled to the first baghouse section via conduit. A set of valves is disposed along the conduit to direct air flow through the baghouse apparatus. A controller configures the baghouse apparatus by actuating at least one valve in the set of valves. The controller automatically configures the baghouse apparatus in either a polishing operation or a non-polishing operation based on a predetermined criteria.
