Cyclones and Bag Filters Crack Testing and Inspection
Effective maintenance of industrial equipment is crucial for uninterrupted operations. Cyclones and bag filters play a significant role in the drying process but pose unique access challenges.
Cyclones and Bag Filters can often be a challenge to access for inspection and maintenance due to their limited entry points and varying designs. Often scaffolding is the only option, which is time consuming and costly.
However, Bioscan can now perform inspections and cyclone repairs covering 100% of the internal surfaces of this equipment within hours, using rope access methods and ladders. This ensures that your downtime is minimised and you are quickly back into production.
Our rope access specialists prepare the required rope systems for cyclone crack testing and repair via the CIP nozzles and manways and via the bag and cage openings in the bag filters, allowing for efficient and safe working.
