  • Patent number: 11731069
    Abstract: A dust collector includes an enclosure and a tube sheet separating filter and clean air compartments. The tube sheet forms a filter opening and a filter is located within the filter compartment and includes a filter flange having an air outlet aligned with said filter opening. The flange includes first and second alignment structures located on a first lateral side of the flange. A clamping assembly includes first and second filter clamps that are movable between a sealing position for sealing the filter flange against the tube sheet, and a release position. The first filter clamp engages the first alignment structure when in the sealing position. The second filter clamp engages the second alignment structure when in the sealing position. The dust collector includes means for moving the filter clamps between the sealing position and the release position.

  • Publication number: 20200298164
    Abstract: A filter bank includes a filter enclosure. A first filter panel and a second filter panel are flexibly joined along respective proximal ends of the first filter panel and the second filter panel by a living hinge. A first sealing gasket extends along a distal end of the first filter panel and forms a first air seal within the filter enclosure. A second sealing gasket extends along a distal end of the second filter panel and forms a second air seal within the filter enclosure. A third sealing gasket extends along the living hinge.
