DFPRE 6L Dust Collectors
INSTALLATION
The collector is not designed to support site-installed ducts, interconnecting
piping or electrical services. All ducts, piping or electrical services must be
adequately supported.
All external equipment connected to the dust collector (e.g. ducting) should
be correctly sealed. This can be achieved by applying a continuous 5 mm
bead of sealing compound to the mounting surface, along each side of the
hole pattern. For non-Donaldson equipment please also check supplier’s IOM
manual for any specific requirements.
Consider to place a back draft damper on outlet in order to prevent dust
migration during offline cleaning.
Required tools and equipment
• Crane/fork lift
• Slings/clevis pins and adequate lifting equipment
• Standard tools (e.g. screwdrivers, wrenches etc.)
• Drill
• Sealant
Delivery and inspection
The collector is normally supplied in one piece. Depending on your order, the following
parts are shipped loose:
• Dust disposal system
• Support structure
• Transition pieces
• Fan set (if not pre-mounted)
• Silencer
• Spare parts
• Anchor bolts
• Hardware and sealant
• Paint can and brush
Compare the parts received against the packing list. If there is any damage or parts
missing, notify the delivery company and your local Donaldson representative.
Location considerations
Where equipment is installed in a Potentially Explosive Atmosphere, care
should be taken not to locate or use the collector where external ignition
sources can be introduced, for example stray electric currents, lightening,
electromagnetic waves, ionising radiation, ultrasonic waves.
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.
