The environmental damage is taking place in our world, because mainly due to dust or gas generated by manufacturing industry to the environment. The global warming, climate change and ozone layer depletion is clear indicator of our environment degradation. The impact of this is likely to increase in the future and having devasting consequences for the next generation and human health issues. The main focus on the master project is to focus on the Bag Filter Dust Collector Machine which can improve and implement the performance monitoring of the Bag Filter for Animal Feed Extrusion Plant. Leong Hup Feedmill Animal Feed Extrusion Plant air pollution control system (APCS) is located at the particle reduction/grinding section. In this section grains such as corn and soy bean is grinded and transferred by bucket elevators to be stored in daily raw material bin. This Bag Filter Dust Collector is a closed loop system where by the dust collected from the source is directly feed into the bucket elevator. The filter bag is used on daily basics，however the operation of filter bag is subjective to the operation of hammermill. Grinding is a continuous process in animal feed extrusion production and Hammermill run continuous in order to feed the raw material in to the extrusion bin. A hammermill is a mill whose purpose is to shred or crush aggregate material into smaller pieces by the repeated blows of little hammers. This will create high speed air flow inside the grinding chamber and light dust particle will follow the air. The objective of the filter bag house is to suck the air out and to control the pressure build up in the mill and also to filter the dust which is carried by the air. This will also increase the efficiency of the hammermill. So the modern age horizontal hammermill is equipped with filter bag with high pressure purging system or also known as pulse jet system. So in order to control or avoid the dust generated by the grinding process release to the environment, the implementation of the performance monitoring is needed.
