Bag and Cage Installation (continued)
Installation of Bag and Cage Assembly – Top Loader
Inspect the cages for any signs of damage, warping, bent wires or
missing welds. Inspect the filter bags for any signs of mold, mildew,
ripped seams or holes.
Remove the blowpipes inside the clean air plenum by loosening the
bulkhead fitting on the air header end of the blowpipe and then slide the
pipe out of the bulkhead fitting. Some CAMCORP dust collectors use a
retaining clip on the opposite end of the blowpipe and it must be removed
before removal of the blowpipe is possible.
Lower the closed end of the bag through the hole in the tube sheet and
carefully feed the bag in. Assure that the bag doesn’t scrap against the
sides of the tube sheet hole. Excessive scraping can damage filter bags
with special coatings or finishes.
With your hands, “kidney shape” the snap band bag top in order to fit and
align it within the tube sheet hole. Fit the groove of the snap band to the
I.D. of the tube sheet hole and allow it to expand and audibly snap into
place. If the band will not snap into place initially, do not push on the
“dimple” as doing this will permanently damage the snap band. Instead,
kidney shape the snap band from the opposite side of the dimple. Then
you can allow the band to expand and audibly snap into place.
Check the fit of the snap band in the tube sheet hole. It should be even in
height above the tube sheet around the entire circumference, which will
confirm to the installer that the filter bag is centered and well secured in
the tube sheet.
Lower the cage into the bag and press that cage top down into the bag’s
snap band I.D. When in position the rolled flange of the cage top will rest
on the tube sheet and the bag and cage assembly will be rigidly mated.
Replace the blowpipes in the opposite order stated above. Make sure
that the orifices in the blowpipes are properly oriented to blow straight
down the center of the bag and cage assembly before tightening the
bulkhead fitting.
Replace access doors and tighten accordingly. You are ready to begin
start-up procedures if all other preceding tasks and hook-ups are
completed.
