3.5 Description and Function - Pulse Pressure System
A direct driven, 3/4 horsepower air compressor with external pressure regulation is
mounted beneath the control panel on the dust collector. The pressure of this system
is determined by the setting of the unloader valve located on the pressure side of the
compressor. Compressed air is delivered to an air reservoir located inside the dust
collector’s clean air compartment. Two Goyen (diaphragm) valves are located above
the air reservoir and are activated by a timer board located inside the control panel.
The timer board actuates one of two sequentially operated pilot solenoids located on
the left side of the control enclosure.
These pilot solenoid valves in turn release the pressure held by the Goyen valves,
allowing a pulse of air to be directed downward through the Venturi ports to pulse the
filter cartridges. This air pulse cleans the filters sequentially as described in the filter
chamber paragraph. The pressure setting on this system is set at a maximum
pressure of 80 PSI. If the pressure goes above 125 PSI, an in-line pressure safety
valve will open to protect the pressure components.
3.6 Description and Function - Chassis
The entire dust collector is mounted on a mobile chassis resting on four castors. Two
swivel castors are mounted beneath the air inlet for ease in maneuverability and the
opposite castors are rigid. The upper frame is equipped with one lifting eye and a bar
handle to help raise and lower the machine for transportation.
NOTE: The dust collector is not designed for vehicle towing or movement on roads.
3.7 Description and Function - Electrical Control Panel
The control panel for the 6-54 Dust Collector is mounted on the front chassis. This
panel was designed to safely operate in the range of 3 phase, 60 Hertz voltages (208-
230 and 460-480) typically available in the U.S.
Operator interface elements on the control panel give an indication of “Proper Rotation”
or “Improper Rotation”. This circuitry will not allow the equipment to operate unless the
rotation is correct.
