Troubleshooting Issues: Stack Emissions
• Stack Emissions:
– Improper Bag Installation
– Broken bag(s)
• Abrasive material
– Material handling inlet
• Too frequent pulse cleaning
– Adjust timer board
Filter Bag Installation and General Information
• When changing filter bags; change all bags at same time
• Special bags may be needed if moisture, temperature, abrasion, and/or
chemicals are an issue.
• Periodic cleaning of bags “off-line” when system is down
– Improves bag life and filter performance over time
– Keep airlock running to discharge dust
– If bags were blinded over (due to any number of reasons), they can be cleaned
to functionality again, or at least recover sufficient performance until they can
be changed
Filter Bag Installation – the right way
Bags are 2” longer than cages and tuck the extra
2” INSIDE for sealing inside and outside
Filter Bag Installation – incorrect
• Not tucked in so there is no seal on inside
• Not over the bead; will slip off
