Tensioning Assemblies and Components
Bag tensioning is a critical factor in baghouse operation. Improper tensioning is one of the main causes of bag failure in reverse air baghouses. Excessive tensioning causes harmful stress on the fabric yarns and sewing threads, and also prohibits movement necessary for dustcake release. A component analysis and necessary replacements should be included in maintenance inspections to avoid untimely failures and equipment damage.
GE offers tensioning assemblies to best fit your application - in chrome silicon steel for moderately elevated temperatures or 17-7 PH stainless steel for high temperature applications.
Features & Benefits
The 17-7 PH stainless steel springs benefit from a shotpeening and passivation process, which hardens the wire and raises tensile strength as well as cycle life.
This process results in extended spring life, which reduces maintenance time required for bag changeout.
