Abstract: The present invention shows a cleaning system for dislodging the collected dust from filter media in a low pressure high capacity gas stream filter. In the preferred embodiment, pressurized gas from an external tank is ducted through a revolving arm which stretches radially across a pie-shaped segment of a tube sheet separating a clean gas plenum from a dirty gas plenum in a bag collection gas filtration system. The ducted gas is intermittently discharged from the rotating arm through multiple orifices into a venturi contained within the openings in the tube sheet as these orifices are above the individual filter elements.

Abstract: A configuration for a synchronous drive belt and pulley combination wherein each belt tooth has at least part of its fore and aft flank surfaces shaped in cross-section as the arc of a circle the radius of which is centered on the pitch line of the belt a distance W apart. Each tooth-engaging pulley cavity has at least part of its fore and aft surfaces shaped in cross-section as the arc of a circle the radius of which is centered on the pitch circle. The tips of the belt teeth and the bases of the pulley cavities are relatively shaped such that upon engagement of the belt with the pulley compressive stress is exerted from each cavity base through each engaging belt tooth.
