A motorized shaking fabric bag dust collector is an economical industrial dust collection system designed for efficient removal of dry dust, sawdust, abrasive particles, and other airborne particulates. Airo Shot Blast Equipments manufactures and supplies shaker-type fabric bag dust collectors in India, with motorized bag cleaning, mild steel/carbon steel construction, and prices typically ranging from ₹20,000 to ₹1 lakh depending on capacity and configuration.

What Is a Motorized Shaking Fabric Bag Dust Collector?
A motorized shaking fabric bag dust collector (also called a shaker dust collector or shaker fabric filter) separates dry dust from air using fabric bags. Dusty air enters, heavy particles drop into the hopper by gravity, and fine dust is trapped on the bag surface while clean air leaves. To clean the bags, a motor and eccentric shake a rod connected to the top of the bags, which breaks the dust cake and drops it into the dust drum.
Motorised Shaking vs Manual Shaking
Manual shaking uses a hand lever. Motorised shaking does it automatically, on a timer or after you stop the fan, so cleaning is more consistent and needs less labour.
Offline Cleaning
A shaker collector usually cleans when the fan is off, because shaking while air is flowing would push dust back through the bag. That makes it a good fit for shift-based or intermittent use. For round-the-clock, continuous operation, a reverse pulse-jet fabric bag dust collector is the better choice.
What It Does Not Do
It collects dry dust, not gases or vapours, and it is not for sticky, oily, or wet dust.
How a Motorized Shaking Fabric Bag Dust Collector Works
- Capture: the fan draws dusty air from the source through ducting into the inlet.
- Gravity drop-out: larger particles fall into the hopper and the dust storage drum.
- Filtration: finer dust rises with the air, is trapped on the outside or inside of the bags, and forms a thin dust cake that helps filtering.
- Clean air out: the fan, mounted on top or at the side, discharges the cleaned air.
- Cleaning cycle: when the unit is stopped, the control panel starts the shaker. The motor and eccentric oscillate the bags through the rod, and the dust cake falls into the hopper.
- Disposal: empty the drum before it fills.
Filter Bag Material Options

Dust stays on the surface, so release is easier |
Motorized Shaker Dust Collector Features
- Motor-driven shaking that cleans the bags automatically.
- Simple, rugged mechanism: a motor, eccentric, and rod, with few parts to fail.
- Gravity drop-out section that sends heavy particles straight to the hopper.
- Choice of bag media to suit your dust.
- Strong 3-6 mm steel body in mild or carbon steel.
- Dust storage drum for easy emptying.
- Electronic control panel to start the cleaning cycle.
- Low running cost compared with compressed-air pulse systems, since no air supply is needed.

Choosing the Right Motorized Shaking Dust Collector
| Factor |
What to consider |
| Airflow (CFM) |
Total flow at all pick-up points, plus duct losses |
| Filter area and air-to-cloth ratio |
Shakers need more cloth per CFM than pulse jet, so the unit is larger |
| Duty cycle |
The unit needs to stop for cleaning, so confirm your shift pattern |
| Dust type |
Dry, free-flowing dust suits it best. Sticky, oily, or wet dust does not |
| Bag material |
Match it to dust, moisture, and temperature |
| Dust hazard |
Tell us if the dust is combustible (aluminium, magnesium, wood, grain, etc.) so we can specify a safe design |
| Space |
Longer bags give more area but need more height |
