Cleaned filters...Ready to ship

FilterPro
All of these filters are ready to ship.  This is one days work.  Andy came in and said "shoot I had ten other skids of filters ship earlier you should have told me you wanted a picture".
It still looks pretty impressive though.
Why did I post this?
About once a week we get a call saying "can you handle cleaning our plants filters?
I truly think I can say we are the nations largest filter cleaner.

Intresting week- all paper filters to clean


Busy, busy week. Cranked out a lot of filters, both new and cleaned. It seemed like most of the cartridge filters this week were paper media. The nature of the fine dust, and the loading on the filter produced a new challenge. All the dusts turned into a muck. It took some quick reaction to pre-filter all the dust removed from the filters. All in all a super week.

They ran these too long


This wee we have a real challenge. We are cleaning 92 filters that are so plugged with product that we will have over 4 tons of waste collected. Some customers want to run their collector until they have a mag gage reading of "10" . This does not pay off. It puts undue pressure on the system, strain on the motor, and will cost more to clean. We will have to stop four times to clean out the waste solids separator in order to complete this order. We normally only clean this once a month. Unfortunately we will have to upcharge the cleaning of this filter due to the extra work.

Why Should I Have a Ground Wire Sewn into my Bag Filter?

The filter in the picture is a filter that just came in for cleaning. The black marks are burn marks in the filter.
What caused this? Sparks built up by static electricicy jumped from the filter bag to the cage and burned the filter. This then caused the filter to melt along the wire cage. Ok, bad deal the filter is leaking. Yes, this is a pain. What could have happened is a lot worse. When the spark jumped accross the filter bag the collector could have blown up like a bomb. The filter was in a grain milling enviroment. Consider using a ground wire in your filters. If a ground wire would have been sewn into the bag the electric charge would have ran up the length of the filter and grouned out on the steel frame. Having a ground wire can prevent a a very dangerous situation. It is worth the extra couple bucks.
