ArrestAll

Model AR

Self-Contained Dust Collector

nstallation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions

1.0 General

The AR ArrestAll

self-contained dust collector is a compact and

efficient unit designed to control intermittent, low to medium volume,

dry, dust sources. It is cleaned off-line. The unit includes

an air mover and can be relocated as required.

Each collector is furnished with fan assembly, housing, filter

cartridge(s), and automatic shaker mechanism for filter cleaning.

Based on size, they are available as a bin vent, flat bottom, cart

bottom, and funnel bottom arrangements. The size range is from

1,000 to 12,000 ACFM. Read the entire brochure and check each

carton and crate against the shipping sheet (AAF Form 1281) before

beginning assembly work. DO NOT store the AR ArrestAll

dust collector outdoors.

1.1 Shipment

The AR ArrestAll collector is packaged for domestic transit

and shipped FOB factory. Notify your carrier immediately if there is

any damage or discrepancy in the shipping papers.

The AR ArrestAll funnel bottom units are shipped as three major

components: the fan, the funnel bottom section, and the cartridge

housing section. The bin vent, cart bottom, and the

dust drawer units ship as two major components: the fan and the

complete housing assembly. See “Installation Drawing” for proper

field assembly.

1.2 Foundations The foundation must be level and adequate to support the collector ’s operating weight including dust load, discharge devices, wind load if applicable, plus any auxiliary equipment if applicable. Housing 1.3 Space Requirements Unit location will be determined by system design, space availability , and access requirements. Access to the front of the unit is necessary for dust removal and cartridge replacement. Top access is required for motor, fan, and ancillary component service.

Flat and Cart Bottom Units These units are fully assembled at the factory except for the fan. Fan discharge orientation can be varied to suit owner ’s requirements. See the fan installation drawing for additional detail. Bin Vent Units To prevent possible damage to the unit from ponding water , it is recommended that curbing be used on any bin vent installation (Figure 5). 3. Electrical Installation All wiring should comply with NEC and applicable local codes.

5.0 Operation The primary function of the AR ArrestAll dust collector is to move air, and thus create suction and remove the dust from the air . As a dust cake develops on the fabric surface of the filter , pressure drop will rise and airflow will be reduced. The unit must be shaken with sufficient frequency to preclude significant loss of suction. 4 Frequency of the dust removal from the bin should be determined from experience and an appropriate maintenance cycle established.
