In industries that work with particulate material is observed from among other concerns, not to discard solid material in the air. Aiming to develop gas-solid filtration equipment more efficient, the study of a self-cleaning system utilizing filter fabric made from synthetic material, was conducted using the phosphate rock as particulate material. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of a vibratory system filtration of gases. The system is made up a box filter coupled to an eccentric motor which causes a continuous vibration during the filtration cycle, not being necessary to interrupt the process to the procedure of fabric filter cleaning. We used polyester synthetic filter for the tests. With known relative humidity and temperature at which the tests were performed, it was possible to estimate the performance of the equipment in continuous vibration filtration of pulverulent material dispersed in gas currents, under the influence of different vibration frequencies.
