Pop-Top® Technology

Baghouse components play a critical role in the efficient operation of your equipment. Menardi developed and patented the Pop-Top filter bag and cage to drastically reduce the time and costs of filter bag installation. Designed as a replacement for standard snapband filter bags and cages, our latest development in filter bag installation technology is such a breakthrough in the method of installing and maintaining filter bags that our customers have commented, "This is the best idea to come from the baghouse manufacturers since the top removal bag hit the market."

Pop-Top Filter Bag and Cage Installation Is As Easy As...

One	Two	Three
1. Drop the bag into the bag hole.	2. Drop the cage assembly into the bag.	3. Step on the top of the cage to "pop" the bag into sealing position.

Our unique collar and venturi design eliminates the need for any special tools or clamps for installation. Removal is just as easy with a quick release action that allows you to remove the bag and cage together or separately.

Our Pop-Top filter bag and cage assembly, available exclusively from Menardi, revolutionizes the single largest task of owning and maintaining a baghouse by directly:

• Eliminating risks of having the filter bags installed by inexperienced subcontracted labor
• Reducing the drudgery and problems that your plant maintenance employees have with removing the filter bags and retainers after years of service
• Lowering your operating costs and increasing your company's profitability

The concept of the Pop-Top filter bag and cage assembly is really quite simple. Installation requires only that you first drop the assembly into the tubesheet hole and then just step on the top of the filter until you hear the "pop"! This simple, straightforward approach absolutely guarantees a leak-free seal the first time and every time. Removal is just as easy and allows for a fast one piece extraction from the tubesheet even if the components are stuck together. The Pop-Top assembly ends the struggle to cut or strip stuck bags from traditional Snap Ring cages and allows anyone to easily perform filter bag changeouts.

The Pop-Top assembly can either be installed in your existing dust collector or designed into your new baghouse. No more stuck bags and cages. No hassles during changeouts. Menardi understands the importance or solid seal and an exact bag to cage fit to optimize filter bag life. Our precision manufacturing assures the right fit and optimum filtration performance from the Pop-Top assembly.

Available in both standard filter bag and cage designs and Mikro-Pleat™ pleated filter styles, the Pop-Top filter assemblies offer durable construction and reduced maintenance time during changeouts.
