Cleaning Optimization

Experiment to Find What Works: “It’s Worth the Effort”

Reverse Air Cleaning Optimization

• Clean based on differential pressure
• Optimize cleaning cycle (e.g. 15-30-45 seconds)
• Achieve good compartment isolation during cleaning
• During low loads, use default program to clean minimum one time per 2-4 hours
• Control reverse air pressure to: 1.0:1-1.5:1 air-to-cloth area (+1.5 H2O max)
• Acoustic horns can help reduce R/A pressure

Pulse Jet Cleaning Optimization

• Clean based on differential pressure
• Clean online if possible
• Clean one row in each compartment at a time
• Clean rows of bags non-sequentially
• Use minimum pulse pressure needed to control differential pressure
• Keep pulse duration short (e.g. 0.10 seconds)
• Use clean, dry compressed air

Shaker Cleaning Optimization

• Clean based on differential pressure
• Minimize movement and duration of shaking
• Use anti-collapse rings
• Use deflation dampers
• Acoustic horns can help reduce differential pressure
