UAS C Series, Owner'S Manual

Page: 9 / 32

The UAS Cyclone Dust Collector is usually mounted
on a reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting
options are possible. Structural
calculations for the foundation or other mounting
arrangement must include the weight of the cyclone,
the material collected and the weight of all auxiliary
equipment. These weights must be considered
together with wind, seismic and other live load
ratings when designing the support structure. See
the Specification Table on page 3 for dust collector
unit weights.
Interconnecting ductwork (not provided with the
Cyclone Dust Collector) should be designed and
properly sized to handle the air volume at the
recommended air velocities for the entrainment of
dust into the collection system. When installing
ductwork, use the shortest possible runs and large-
radius elbows whenever possible. The shortest duct
length with a minimum number of elbows will
maximize the performance of the unit. Seal all joints.
Follow ductwork design methods as listed in the
Industrial Ventilation Manual as recommended by the
American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists. In the case of spark-producing
processes, system design should incorporate
measures to prevent live sparks from entering the
dust collector. Consult local authorities for the
location of the unit and any precautions to consider
when collecting combustible, explosive or hazardous
dusts. Review General Cautions listed on page 1.
With any air-moving device, a certain amount of
noise is created. Normally, the noise level is not as
high as that of other machinery in the area. If you
require an additional reduction in the noise level,
exhaust silencers are available as optional
equipment. Noise levels must be taken into
consideration as you plan the installation of your
equipment.
4.3 ASSEMBLY OF STANDARD
EQUIPMENT
examine the unit fan wheel. Make sure it moves
freely and is firmly in place. Re-tighten if necessary.
Replace door after inspecting. Check that motor
mounts are secure.
UAS Cyclone Dust Collectors are typically shipped in
three main assemblies:
1. Upper barrel assembly - This section consists of
the upper barrel and blower housing with motor.
2. Cone weldment - The cone is usually inverted and
mounted inside the base support stand.
3. The base assembly - This consists of support
base, legs, drum cover, hose and clamps. The
inlet and outlet pieces will also typically be
shipped with the base assembly.
DRUM SUPPORT STAND ASSEMBLY
Place the base assembly of the unit in its desired
location. Use shims under foot pads as needed to
level unit. Once base is level, fasten down with
properly sized anchor bolts (see Figure 4).
HOPPER SUPPORT STAND ASSEMBLY
Place the hopper base assembly in its desired
location. Use shims under foot pads as needed to
level unit. Once base is level, fasten down with
properly sized anchor bolts.
Shim and anchor the bottom section of the hopper
first. Using the hardware provided, set the top
section of the hopper on the base section
(see Figure 5).
Before you begin, remove all crating, strapping and
hold-down bolts. Locate all hardware bags, silicone
sealant and other assembly materials provided with
your unit. Remove fan housing inspection door and
!
WARNING
Use adequate safety measures when lifting and
assembling any heavy components. Consult your
plant safety personnel for recommendations.
!
CAUTION
Never lift cyclone by the motor. Do not rest blower
assembly on fan wheel. Use clevises (not hooks)
on lifting sling. Use spreader bars on lifting sling.
!
WARNING
In preparing to assemble the hopper to its mating
support base, connect a lifting sling to at least four
positions on the unit. Distribute the load evenly.
Location must be clear of all obstructions such as
utility lines or roof overhangs.
