Emptying the Baghouse
The baghouse hopper should be emptied at least once a day. This will ensure that there is proper air
space for the cartridge filters to operate efficiently and correctly without overloading.
1.
Shut down vacuum system (see shutting down diesel engine). Engine must remain at idle speed.
2.
Place drum under waste chute at rear of machine with barrel lid provided.
3.
Open rear/bottom waste valve.
4.
Auger equipped units: pull out the push button switch located adjacent to the waste valve or
rotate auger switch to on position.
This will start the auger and push the excess dust that has accumulated in the bottom hopper of the
baghouse out through the waste valve at the rear into the drum. Be sure to monitor the amount of waste
going into the barrel to avoid overfilling and spilling of dust.
5.
Once all excess dust has emptied from the baghouse, depress the push button to stop the auger
or rotate the auger switch to off position.
6.
Close the waste valve to ensure no fugitive dust falls out during transport or while in use.
It is the responsibility of the owner(s), operator(s) and user(s) to comply with all regulations and laws
pertaining to waste disposal and hazardous waste disposal.
