Media: Filter Bag Removal Device The Grapoid Makes Snap-in Bag Removal As Easy As Pulling A Trigger — Even For Especially Tough Pleated Bags MikroPul's baghouse filter removal tool will make a big difference to your maintenance crew at bag changeout time. The Grapoid quickly removes top removal snap-in pleated and felt bags quickly and with very little effort. To provide leak-free operation, top removal snap-in bags provide a very tight seal with the grid plate which requires considerable effort to loosen during removal. Coupled with a cordless or pneumatic drill, the unique Grapoid loosens snap-in bags in just a few seconds without the hard work—and far less stress and strain on muscles, tendons, and joints. MikroPul’s unique device breaks the seal without effort: lessening stress and strain on maintenance workers and allowing a single worker to complete a task that formerly required two workers, providing rapid removal — approximately 10 seconds per bag; and avoiding damage to bags, so they may be reused. Bag removal with the Grapoid also eliminates bags being dropped into the hopper so there is no possibility of internal contamination of reused bags.

The Grapoid is available in two sizes, accommodating most known top removal pleated and felt bag sizes. For felt bags, one of the jaws is replaced by a special version that dimples the bag.
