Installation.
Safety note:
Installation should be performed only by suitably qualified and
experienced personnel.
The unit should be positioned according to the installation drawing, ensuring that space is
allowed for access to the front and to the electrical terminal box.
Particular care should be taken when siting a filter fitted with an
explosion relief panel
so
that it complies with national regulations.
Please also see Appendix 1
below. It must be
free to open with no obstructions. A safety exclusion zone outside the relief panel must be
established. If in doubt, please contact.
If the hopper is supplied as a separate item, lift into position with a suitable crane or forklift
onto a prepared base. If required, it may be bolted to the ground. Units fitted with
explosion panels
or in exposed locations should be fixed to their foundations.
Add mastic sealant to the hopper top flange then position the filter top section complete
with fan, but with the silencer removed, using a crane or forklift truck. Refer to the
diagram above for sling angles etc.
Insert screws into the vertical joining flange.
Remove the lifting eyebolts and position the silencer (if supplied).
Ductwork connections.
Duct connections within work places must comply with current local regulations. In some
applications with explosive dust types, explosion vents or non-return dampers in the inlet
and outlet ducts may be required.
Safety note:
In order to prevent unintentional access to rotating parts all duct joints up
to 1 meter from rotating elements (e.g. screw conveyor, rotary valve) should have
flanged joints or similar so that access is only possible by using tools.
Electrical connections.
Normally Auto M units are supplied with a combined fan and shaker controller.
Important:
this controller must not be mounted directly onto the filter unit because of
vibration during the cleaning cycle. Typically it would be mounted on an adjacent wall.
