SDC
Shaker Dust Collector
3. INSTALLATION
The SDC dust collection system ships standard in
two individual assemblies: the filter module and
hopper assembly. Additional accessories or options
(silencers, storage drums, afterfilter assemblies,
control panel assemblies, etc.) may be
packaged separately.
TIP OVER HAZARD
Lift the dust collector components by the packing
skids or the lifting locations provided on the filter
module. Do not lift the filter module of the dust
collector by placing lift truck forks through the filter
access door(s). This is unsafe and could result in
significant damage to the dust collector.
Upon receipt of your unit, check for any shipping
damage. A damaged carton indicates that the
equipment may have received rough handling during
shipping that could have caused internal damage to the
dust collector. Notify your delivery carrier and enter a
claim if any damage is found.
3.1 INSTALLATION PLANNING
The proper location of your dust collection equipment is
very important. Refer to Figure 2 for typical installation
details.
Certain items should be considered when locating the
unit, such as emptying of the dust storage drum(s), filter
removal requirements, access to the clean air plenum,
the shaker mechanism, electrical connections, and air
inlet and discharge location. The shortest duct length
with a minimum number of elbows and losses will
maximize the performance of the unit. Ease of
maintenance should also be considered when selecting
the location and orientation of the system.
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
additional precautions to consider when collecting
combustible, explosive or hazardous dusts. General
warning and cautions are provided on page ii and in
Section 1.
TIP OVER HAZARD
The SDC dust collector should be mounted on a solid,
level, reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting
options are also possible. Each standard SDC unit
has been designed to meet Seismic Zone 4 and 100
MPH wind loading conditions. Structural calculations
for the foundation or other mounting arrangements
must include the weight of the collected material and
the weight of all auxiliary equipment installed with the
dust collector (ducting, silencers, afterfilter
assemblies, etc.). Consult a professional engineer
when designing the foundation for the unit.
Interconnecting ducting should be properly sized to
meet the recommended air velocities for the material
being collected. Follow ducting design methods as
listed in the
Industrial Ventilation Manual
, as
recommended by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
3.2 STANDARD EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLY
CRUSH AND ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Use adequate safety measures when lifting and
assembling any heavy components. Consult your local
plant safety personnel for recommendations.
In preparing to attach the filter module to the hopper,
connect lifting slings and spreader bars to all filter
module lifting points with clevis pins. Use spreader
bars to distribute the load evenly. Location must be
clear of all obstructions, such as utility lines or roof
overhangs.
Remove all crating, strapping and hold-down bolts.
Locate all hardware bags, sealant and other assembly
materials provided with your unit.
3.2.1 HOPPER ASSEMBLY
The SDC unit is designed to mount directly on top of the
hopper assembly. The hopper assembly consists of a
hopper bin, legs, sway-bracing (on larger models), optional
flex duct, hose clamps, 20 or 55-gallon drum, drum lid and
drum clamp. A hardware kit is also included to bolt the
filter module to the hopper.
