Stop in for a cup of coffee

The big air consumer was the Bag House/dust collector/vacuum cleaner for the plant. 350 - 7" x 15' filter bags in rows of 10. Collecting the dust from the plant and supplying 70% the combustion air for the burner/dryer. 250 horse driving a fan 3' w x 6' d for the vacuum. Each row had a 1 1/4" pipe with 10 3/8" holes centered over the filter bags below to knock the dust off the bags so it could be returned for use in the AC and continue to supply that necessary vacuum. Every 15 seconds 7 of those 1 1/4" valves opened for about 5 seconds.
I applied for a maintenance manager job at a foundry a few years ago. Made really cool stuff brass and bronze- A lot of one off statues and things. (Good I didn't get it cause they were bought out and as far as I know that facility is closed now) Don't know the numbers on it, but they had a huge filter bag system like that.
