Self Cleaning Continuous Filter Chapter 3: Installation 22
3-4 Setup Procedures
This section provides the procedures necessary for configuring your Self Cleaning Continuos
Filter system.
Configuration of your Self Cleaning Continuos Filter system includes installing the Filter
bags and differential pressure gauge, adjusting the safety latches on the hopper door, making
compressed air connections and running the necessary ductwork. We recommend that you
carry out these procedures in the order given here.
Note: Before carrying out these procedures, install all equipment as described in this
section.
Installing Filter Bags
Side Bag Removal Collectors
1. Slip filter bag over the cage, making sure that the bag seam is not over the split in the
top collar of cage. (See Fig. 7 on the next page.)
2. Bottom of bag must be tight against the cage bottom, the seam should be straight and
all wrinkles smoothed out.
3. Fold the top of the bag (about two inches) over the top of the cage, smooth out the
inside folds, and make sure that the bag does not overlap the annular groove on inside
of cage (trim off excess bag length if necessary). (See Fig. 8 on the next page.)
4. Slip on the bag clamp (loosely). The tightening mechanism should not be over the
bag seam. (See Fig. 9 on the next page.)
5. Slide the bag and cage upward over the bag cup until the cage snaps into place on the
groove in the bag cup. Bag and cage assembly should fit tight against tubesheet for
proper alignment. (See Fig. 10 on the next page.)
6. Tighten the bag clamp. It is important that a 3/8” socket be used: a screwdriver may
slip and puncture the bag. (See Fig. 11 on the next page.)
7. Check to make sure that bags are hanging straight and do not touch other bags or the
collector housing. (See Fig. 12 on the next page.)
8. Install the remaining bags in the same manner.
9. Close and tighten all access doors.
