Service projects Replacement methods for contaminated filter bags

Our service department provides more safety for your employees when dismantling old contaminated filter bags. The handling of used, dust-laden filter bags, especially when they are contaminated, pose a health hazard to their employees during the dismantling process as well as during transport of the filter bags.

Münstermann offers you a special installation method for the dismantling of these filter bags. The health of your employees is protected, and the method also ensures clean and safe packaging of the filter bags during disassembly.

Easy handling and safe transport

The removal method consists of a sleeve fitted with a hose film and an aluminum demontage storage. In the case of disassembly, the demontage storage is placed on the filter bag and the filter bag can then simply be pulled into the hose film.
Thus, the contaminated filter bags is safely packaged, the workplace environment remains clean and the filter bags can be transported cleanly without dust leakage.

WIP cleaning system

"WIP-Clean" in bag filter systems generally refers to the cleaning of the filter medium used in the raw gas space, as well as in the pure gas space. In this "wet" cleaning process, which has nothing to do with the dry cleaning of the filter medium, a liquid medium (usually water) is used.

Reasons for using a WIP device

• Protection of service personnel and the environment (when replacing the filter medium)
• Rinsing of toxic products before changing the filter medium

Components WIP device

• Wash liquid dispensers (pipe distributors) outside the filter
• One set of pipes, valves, nozzle lances and spray nozzles
• Electrical / pneumatic control components (design according to expected operating convenience and cleaning frequency)
