Triple-Sealed Bag-In/Bag-Out (BIBO) system

The Triple-Sealed Bag-In/Bag-Out (BIBO) system ensures dust containment during filter replacement operations in chemical and pharmaceutical applications. The containment bags are made of a rugged, proprietary material, Armorflex, which is designed to withstand tough handling operations. To avoid cuts, tears or holes in the bags, the system’s design does not expose the bags to the inside of the dirty air plenum, where abrasion is likely. Instead, the system is mounted on the outside of the manufacturer’s Downflo dust collector; the clean-change bags are stored on the clean air side, away from the dirty air plenum, which minimizes worker exposure to potentially hazardous compounds. The bag-changing procedure cycles only one filter at a time and can be executed efficiently by one person.
