Cartridge Dust Collector
Revised 02/02
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 OFF LOADING AND INSPECTION
Supra-Blast dust collector modules are shipped
assembled on a skid(s). Other skids will contain the
hopper/leg assembly and other components. Other
accessories (afterfilter assemblies, blower packages,
dust storage drums, silencers, etc.) may be on
additional, separate skids.
Upon receipt of your unit, check for any shipping
damage. A damaged carton indicates that the
equipment may have received rough handling during
shipping that may have caused internal damage. Notify
your delivery carrier and enter a claim if any damage is
found.
4.2 INSTALLATION PLANNING
The proper location of your dust collection equipment is
very important. Refer to Figure 2 for typical installation
details.
Certain items should be considered when locating the
unit, such as emptying of the dust storage container(s),
filter removal requirements, compressed air and
electrical connections, and fan discharge direction. The
shortest duct length with a minimum number of elbows
will maximize the performance of the unit. Ease of
maintenance should also be considered when selecting
the location and orientation of the system
(see Figure 3).
In the case of spark producing processes, system
design should incorporate measures to prevent live
sparks from entering the dust collector. Consult local
authorities for the location of this unit and any additional
precautions to consider when collecting combustible,
explosive or hazardous dusts. (See General Cautions on
page 1.)
The Supra-Pulse Dust Collector is usually mounted on a
reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting options
are also possible. Structural calculations for the
foundation or other mounting arrangements must
include the weight of the collected material and the
weight of all auxiliary equipment. These weights must be
considered together with wind, seismic and other live
load ratings when designing the support structure. See
the Specification Table on page 3 for dust collector unit
weights.
!
CAUTION
Lift the dust collector components by the packing
skids or use the external lifting lugs provided on the
filter module. Do not lift the filter module of the dust
collector by placing lift truck forks through the
cartridge filter access doors. The filter support rails or
the conical air distribution tips installed on the
tubesheet could be damaged.
