9.2.4
Products shipped in multiple modular assemblies
Where product is shipped with the main housings in multiple modular assemblies,
with the hoppers and legs separate, proceed as follows:
Follow item 9.2.4.1 to pre-install the legs and then bring in the housing modules in
turn bolting the first to its legs before bringing in the second.
Pre-apply the sealant to the flanges as 9.2.2 and then bolt the housings together.
Install all the supplied bolts between housings loosely at first. Access to the bolt holes
is gained via the porthole covers and the inlet/outlet openings (remove the covers and
cartridges). When all the bolts are loosely in position they must be tightened in a sequence
working from the center bolts towards the corners, radiating outwards in opposite side in
sequence so that the four corner bolts are last to be tightened. This pulls the modules
together with all the mating flanges flat against each other with no bulges.
9.2.4.1
Leg structure
Assemble the leg structure onto the prepared foundations or steelwork using the
supplied GA drawing which shows the position of all the legs and cross braces. Ensure all
the nuts and bolts are tightened and the structure is mechanically sound and secure, and
level before proceeding to the next stage.
Anchors (supplied by others) must comply with local code requirements and must be
capable of supporting dead, live, wind, seismic, and other applicable loads for the area the
dust collector is going to be installed.
Consult with a qualified engineer for foundation and anchoring design.
9.2.4.2
Hoppers
Position the hopper(s) onto the leg structure and fix it into position using the GA
drawing as a guide. Level the hopper once installed.
9.2.4.3
Collector Housing
Apply sealant (supplied by AAF) to the upper flanges of the hopper(s) ensuring the
sealant circles around each bolt hole.
Lift the housing module(s) using its lifting lugs and lower into position onto the
hoppers so that the holes in the matching flanges correctly align.
CAUTION: Never stand or work beneath a suspended load.
