Tumbling Hammers for Rigid Frame Discharge Electrodes

Rigid frame discharge electrodes are rapped by tumbling hammers. The tumbling hammers operate similarly to the hammers used to remove dust from collection electrodes. The hammers are arranged on a horizontal shaft. As the shaft rotates, the hammers hit an impact beam which transfers the shock, or vibration, to the center tubes on the discharge system, causing the dust to fall (Figure).
