Storage Recommendations
Baghouse, Bin Vent, Filter Receiver, Dirty Air Hopper and Housing
• Housing can be stored outside.
• Equipment must be blocked up to keep the flanges out of the dirt.
• Most units are supplied with a plain unfinished interior. If storage of more
than two weeks is anticipated the interior should be prime coated before
storage.
• Covering the unit with a tarp is recommended to help keep the interior
from rusting or corroding as well as keeping the outer finish in new
condition, however a tarp is not absolutely necessary.
Baghouse, Bin Vent, Filter Receiver, and Clean Air Plenum
• Unit can be stored outside.
• Compressed air header, diaphragm and solenoid valves must be tarped
for weather protection.
• Position unit so water will not get in or remain inside the tube sheet area.
• Unit must be blocked up to keep the flanges, bag cups, venturis and air
header out of water and dirt.
• Ports on diaphragm and solenoid valves must be plugged and taped to
keep insects, dirt and moisture out.
• For extended storage (more than 4 weeks), it is recommended to remove
the timer panel and solenoid valve assembly (if mounted). These
components should be stored inside a cool dry area along with the copper
or black nylon tubing. The solenoids should have all ports capped and
taped to protect from insects, dirt and moisture.
• The unit should be tarped but is not absolutely necessary.
Filter Bags & Cages
• Filter bags must be stored inside a cool dry area protected from moisture,
rodents and insects.
• For extended storage the boxes for the bags should be wrapped with
plastic wrap or stretch wrap to protect from moisture.
• If the bags get wet for any reason, immediately lay them out with plenty of
ventilation to dry in order to prevent mold and mildew.
• It is recommended to store the cages inside a dry area if at all possible.
• If an inside location is not available the cages can be stored outside as
long as they are covered by a tarp.
• Cages are generally stored horizontally on pallets to keep them off the
ground.
