Abstract

A baghouse filter bag installation system for installing new baghouse filter cartridge bags upon baghouse cages. The system comprises an elongated manifold adapted to coaxially receive a baghouse cage. The manifold comprises an elongated, generally cylindrical, hollow body, an open distal end and an open proximal end defining a flange. A compressor provides slightly pressurized high volume air to the proximal end of the manifold to inflate new bags fitted to the distal end of the manifold. Preferably the air supplied is warm. This softens the material of the bag making it more pliable, easing installation. A tuyere facilitates the fluid flow communication between the compressor and the manifold. The tuyere also makes it possible to employ a second manifold. The tuyere has at least one flange to mate with the manifold proximal end flange providing fluid flow communication between the compressor and at least one manifold. A cap is used to seal one of the tuyere flanges when not in use. A pliable seal disposed between the cap the tuyere flange facilitates sealing. Radially spaced apart orifices defined in the body of the manifold, adjacent the distal end, maintains inflation of the bags during installation.
