DC Storm - 16
Part No 94295-B
2018-06-11
Description
The DC Storm is an electric powered vacuum extractor for
use for source extraction, cleaning and material transpor-
tation applications in most types of industries.
The extraction system functions with negative pressure
(vacuum) that draws the air through suction casings/
nozzles, hose system, separator and
fi lter system. Coarse
separation of dust occurs in the unit´s cyclone which is a
highly ef fi cient separator for larger particulate. The fi ne
dust is separated and contained by the unit´s fi lter system.
Separated material is collected for disposal in the plastic
sack or container at the base of the cyclone.
Filter cleaning with reverse pulse gives long fi lter life and
constant capacity.
Operation
Connect the machine to a suitable power source ac-
cording to the speci
fi cations found on the identi fi cation
label on the machine. If an extension cord is to be used
with the unit, it should be suitably rated according to the
prevailing electrical code and be at least water resistant.
Check rotation of the motor at startup. On machines
equipped with a phase reverser, incorrect rotation can
be easily changed. Machines not equipped with a phase
reverser will require the service of a quali
fi ed electrician
to interchange two phases in the power supply.
The fi lter should be cleaned 1-2 times per day with con-
tinuous running or if the machine is equipped with a fi lter
monitor, when this is in the red area.
For fi lter cleaning:
1. Start the machine.
2. Close the shutter valve on the machines inlet.
3. Activate the cleaning switch ON and later OFF, 4-7
pulses.
4. Open the shutter valve.
5. If the
fi lter condition meter reads green work can con-
tinue. If in the red, pulse clean again. If after several
repetitions, the
fi lter condition still shows red the fi ne
fi lter must be changed. If it remains on red, despite
changing the fi lter, the vaccum relief valve needs to
be checked.
The plastic sack should be changed only after the fi lter
has been cleaned. The sack should be changed when the
dust level is about 5 cm under the foot valve. The plastic
sack should be sealed after removal from the machine.
Use only original plastic sacks.
DC Storm-a
The container under the cyclone should be emptied when
it is
fi lled to ca 2/3.
When the gauge turns red - close shutter and
open the valve - 4-7 pulses.
Use the strap for a dust-free work.
Use the hooks for easy hanging of the bag.
