DFPRE Large Dust Collectors
The collector should be located with consideration for:
• Emptying the dust container.
• Shortest runs of inlet and outlet ductwork with radius bends on elbows as large
as possible.
• Easy access to electrical and compressed air connections.
• Convenience of maintenance.
When calculating for foundations or support structure consider the following:
• The weight of the dust collector.
• The material being collected.
• All auxiliary equipment.
• Live loads.
• Snow and wind loads on outside installations.
For collector weights and dimensions refer to the datasheet, publication number
DOCAM1382701 (DFPRE 4L and 6L) or DOCAM1449401 (DFPRE 9L and 12L).
General guidance to lifting
The collector should be lifted using either the four-point lifting arrangement or
the fork-lifting arrangement by a qualified competent person (refer to figures
2 and 3).
During all lifting operations a crane or fork lift with an adequate SWL (safe
working load) must be used. (Refer to lifting label located adjacent to lifting
points for weight of equipment supplied by Donaldson).
When using the four-point lifting method, chains or slings with an adequate
SWL (safe working load) must be used. (Refer to lifting label located adjacent
to lifting points for weight of equipment supplied by Donaldson). Chains must
be long enough to ensure that the included angle between diagonal chains is
not greater than 90° (refer to figure 2, 3 and 4)).
Care should be taken as the unit might have a high center of gravity.
Do not use the lifting lugs of the spark trap / cyclopeel.
Before unloading, remove all packing and strapping.
