Operational data to be recorded could include measurements taken of the air flow
rate and the pressure differential across the cartridges. This should be recorded weekly or
monthly. This record can assist with maintenance schedules and show collector variances
due to operations.
Maintenance data to be recorded should include details of inspections and any parts
replaced.
See final page of IOM for Maintenance Interval Checklist.
The following maintenance intervals are recommendations by AAF, your dust
collection system may need more or less frequent maintenance plans.
12.2
Initial Weekly Maintenance
This should be done during the first month of initial collector operation.
Record the differential pressure across the cartridges at start-up. Record the collector
differential pressure regularly for at least the first 30 days of operation.
Adverse operating conditions can be detected by a change in differential pressure.
The differential pressure can be read on the display of the pulse controller. After start-up,
the dust collector’s differential pressure should settle to approximately 2-3 inches w.g.
The filter cleaning cycle is automatically controlled from the pulse controller with
either the differential pressure set points or the timed interval used to maintain a steady
pressure differential across the filter.
Do not be alarmed if cleaning pulses cause momentary spikes in the differential
pressure readings.
NOTE: The time interval between pulses is factory pre-set at 30 seconds. It may be
changed and is dependent on the application. Effective cleaning is reliant upon pulse
frequency, duration and pulse compressed air pressure. The pulse duration is pre-set at 100
milliseconds. DO NOT change the factory setting without contacting an AAF International
representative.
Inspect the dust disposal equipment on a regular basis during the first month of
operation to determine that the collected dust is being disposed at a rate consistent with
the operation. Failure to ensure that the collected dust is taken away at the appropriate
rate will result in material building up into the hopper and could cause malfunction. This is
