Installation 

 

Inspection of goods 

 
The 

Maxiflo-VC

 unit is shipped assembled or in 

sections. Proceed with a visual inspection upon 
receiving the material and check for any 
apparent damage that may have occured on 
freight. Generally, shipment includes the filter 
cabinet and the dust storage section with 
support structure. Other optional components 
such as flame front exhaust duct or back draft 
damper may be delivered on separate skids.  
 

Location 

 
1.

 

The area where the dust collector will be 
installed should be able to sustain the 
weight of such along with the 
accessories, ducting, blower and matter 
that will be stored. The construction of a 
flat and solid surface such as a concrete 
slab or platform may be required.  
 

2.

 

Wind factor and seismic zones should be 
considered before selecting the location 
of the dust collector.  

 
3.

 

Position the dust collector in a way to 
have access to the control panel, cleaning 
valves, pneumatic conduits, access door 
to filters and dust storage systems as 
suggested in drawing # 2.  

 

4.

 

If the dust collector is equipped with an 
explosion relief venting system, follow 
guidelines for its location.
