Baghouse with double pass traveling purge head

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A cleaning purge head for a baghouse traveling centrally of the clean air plenum to isolate and back flush with high pressure air successive compartments of filter bags arranged in two parallel banks of filters. Through a depressible seal, the purge head communicates with a pressure chamber supplying cleaning air. A cam activated valve regulates the bursts of cleaning air supplied to successive filter bag compartments as a delivery conduit registers therewith such that the purge head alternates in cleaning the two banks of filters on successive passes through the baghouse.
