 10. What if my disposable bag keeps ripping when I'm removing insulation?

Answer:   Make sure that you have a person by your Commando I Insulation Removal Machine and disposable bag at all times.  Also, make sure that this person is watching the bag to make sure air is still flowing easily out of the pores.  If the bag looks like it is getting tight or firm, the pores are blocked with fine dust.  Tap the sides of the bag to allow the bag to breathe more easily.  NOT watching or tapping the bag may result in the disposable bag ripping.

  1. How do I calculate how many disposable bags I will need to do an insulation removal job?

Answer:   1.) Calculate the volume of insulation to be removed.  2.) Divide that volume by the capacity of each containment bag.

Width  x  Length  x  Depth χ Cubic Feet per Bag = How many bags you will need.

20 Ft. Wide  x  70 Ft. Long  x  6" Deep (.5 Ft.)  =  700 Cubic Ft.

GBD002 (Disposable Filter Bag) holds 75 Cubic Ft.

700 Cubic Ft.  χ   75  Cubic Ft. per Bag   =  9.33 Bags for the job

Note: Usually you can compact the insulation to get more than 75 Cubic Ft. of insulation  into a disposable bag.

Case of 12 Disposable Bags =  Part Number: GBD003

Individual Disposable Bag  =   Part Number: GBD002
