QUESTION: HOW MANY DISPOSABLE BAGS DO I NEED FOR A REMOVAL JOB? ANSWER: -CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF INSULATION TO BE REMOVED. (LENGTH x WIDTH x DEPTH) -DIVIDE THE VOLUME BY THE CAPACITY OF EACH BAG, 85 CU. FT. (VOLUME/85) -70 FT LONG x 20 FT WIDE x 6" (.5 FT) DEEP = 700 CUBIC FT -700 CUBIC FT / 85 CUBIC FT PER BAG = 8.23 BAGS FOR THE JOB QUESTION: HOW CAN I KEEP MY INSULATION BAGS FROM RIPPING WHEN I'M REMOVING INSULATION? ANSWER: INSULATION BAGS, LIKE ANY POROUS FILTRATION PRODUCT, CAN BECOME CLOGGED WITH FINE DUST PARTICLES. AN OPERATOR WORKING BY THE VACUUM AND BAG CAN USE A BROOM STICK TO OCCASIONALLY TAP THE PORES OF THE BAG CLEAN. IF BAG LOOKS VERY FIRM OR TAUGHT, AND CANNOT BE TAPPED CLEAN, THE BAG MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. HIGH LEVELS OF DUST IN INSULATION MATERIALS SUCH AS CELLULOSE AND VERMICULITE MAY CAUSE INSULATION BAGS TO BECOME EXCESSIVELY TAUGHT AFTER SMALLER AMOUNTS OF MATERIAL HAVE BEEN REMOVED COMPARED TO FIBERGLASS.
