Baghouse Technical Services

Baghouses can be expensive to operate and maintain. Even when they are in the best of condition, they are an ongoing cost of doing business. If maintenance and repairs go unattended, costs to operate baghouses can, and generally do, escalate dramatically. With such a wide variety of things that can go wrong within any baghouse operation, constant monitoring and inspection of each is critically important if efficiency is to stay high and costs to remain at their lowest levels. Additionally, as your process changes, further considerations need to be taken concerning modifications to your existing dust collector design, to produce the highest dust filtration.

Our Technical Services Group specializes in solving your dust collector problems, doing repairs and maintenance, and providing performance improvement modifications.

The following is an overview of our full line of dust filtration services for pulse-jet, reverse air, and shaker dust collectors of all OEM styles. We provide:

• Troubleshooting inspection surveys geared toward your process and equipment to resolve whatever baghouse problems you are experiencing. You receive complete written follow-up reports noting inspection findings and problem-solving recommendations.
  
  These surveys are not a gimmick to sell our products - they result in consistent lower operating costs for your dust collector, while substantially improving overall efficiency.
• Filter bag change-out service, including options for mechanical inspections suited to your particular baghouse needs.
• Preventive maintenance service programs based on monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual equipment analyses, inspections, and equipment repairs.
• Baghouse refurbishment for extended life; modifications for improved operating performance; and Advantaflo® baghouse inlet diffusers (Cascadair® and Expandiffuse®).
• Baghouse cleaning system equipment conversion for increased flow and/or decreased maintenance. This can include converting a reverse air or shaker cleaned dust collector to pulse-jet or sonic horn cleaning for increased gas flow, longer filter bag life, decreased maintenance requirements, or whatever the need might be.

You will find our crews to be well experienced and always ready to meet your plant's work schedules. As a full-line supplier of baghouse components, we coordinate our deliveries and service crews to meet your requirements and ensure a minimum of downtime.
