ABSTRACT:
A filter bag tensioning system (10) for use in a bag house is provided. An adjustable tensioning mechanism (16) is pivotally coupled to a frame member (20) within the bag house for providing a predetermined tension on a filter bag (12). The adjustable tensioning mechanism (16) is releasably coupled on a second end (22) thereof to the bag (12) through an S-hook (26) and chain link (30) coupling. A weight member (38) is coupled to a first end (40) of the adjustable tensioning mechanism (16) for counterbalancing the weight of the bag (12). The adjustable tensioning mechanism (16) includes a mechanism for linearly displacing the weight (38) with respect to a pivot point (64) of the adjustable tensioning mechanism (16). The linear displacement of the weight (38) is accomplished by a linear displacement of a first tension adjustment member (56) with respect to a second tension adjustment member (58) in the longitudinal direction (18) and a securement of the first tension adjustment member (56) to the second tension adjustment member (58) when a predetermined tension is provided for the filter bag (12). In this manner, there is disclosed a filter bag tensioning system (10) which allows for the user to adjust the tension on the filter bags (12) as a function of the characteristics of the bag cleaning processes, as well as the bags (12).
