To The Owner
The purpose of this manual is to assist owners and operators in maintaining and operating the Kice
Pneu-Jet filter. Please read it carefully; information and instructions furnished can help you achieve
years of dependable performance. Separate manuals are included for auxiliary equipment that make
up an air system, such as airlock valves, cyclones and fans. They contain additional information that
may not be repeated in this manual. Please contact the Kice Customer Service Department if additional
manuals are needed.
Using This Manual
General operation and maintenance guidelines are outlined for owners and operators of Kice
Pneu-Jet filters. Operating conditions vary considerably and cannot be addressed individually. Through
experience however, operators should have no diculty in developing good operating, safety and
monitoring skills.
The terms “disconnect and lockout” or “lockout/tagout” as used in this manual means that power to
the Kice Pneu-Jet filter has been disconnected through the use of a padlockable, manual power cuto
or power lockout switch pursuant to 29CFR1910.147.
Directions used in this manual, for example RIGHT or LEFT, CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE,
refer to directions when facing the door of the filter located under the reverse jet cleaning mechanism.
Photographs and illustrations were current at the time of printing but subsequent production changes
may cause your Kice Pneu-Jet filter to vary slightly in detail. Kice Industries, Inc. reserves the right to
redesign and change the filter as deemed necessary, without notification. If a change has been made
to your Kice Pneu-Jet filter that is not reflected in this owner’s manual or the illustrated Parts Lists, write
or call Kice Industries, Inc. for current information and parts.
Model and Serial Number
The model of the filter, serial number and date of manufacture can be found stamped on the metal
identification plate (see Figure 1) located on the housing, next to the access door (see Figure 2).

Combustible Dusts and Explosion Protection
Many fine dusts collected by filters are combustible. Most dusts can catch fire if three components are
present: fuel, ignition source and oxygen. Dust is the fuel, a spark or flame may provide the ignition
source, and air provides the oxygen. The deflagration index (Kst) and the maximum deflagration
pressure (Pmax) of a particular dust will determine the violence of the fire and the amount of destructive
force that has to be vented from the filter. This information, provided by the operator, will be used to
calculate the number of explosion vents required for Kice Filters.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provided comprehensive guidelines and standards for
dealing with explosive dusts and fires. The following publications provide valuable information on fire
and explosion protection and can be helpful to insure your facility is properly equipped.
• NFPA 652 – Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust
• NFPA 61 - Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agricultural and Food
Processing Facilities
• NFPA 68 - Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting
• NFPA 69 - Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems
• NFPA 77 - Recommended Practice on Static Electricity
• NFPA 654 - Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing,
Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids
• NFPA 664 - Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and
Woodworking Facilities
This is not a comprehensive list of standards for all applications. These and other standards and
guidelines from the NFPA that may be applicable for your facility can be ordered or viewed at
