Abstract
Installation and maintenance equipment to tension a fabric sleeve filter supported from a bag support frame in a baghouse by a retainer rod and a tensioning spring. A tensioning tool is configured to be removably coupled to the retainer rod while compressing the tensioning spring to pull taut the fabric sleeve. A speed control regulates the speed at which the spring is compressed and a regulator determines the force applied to the spring. A pneumatic, hydraulic or electromechanical power source supplies the tensioning force.
